Yeah, wondering myself if this guys experience was also from a long time ago or maybe just an obscure device or something.

Sadly most people grow up using and are tought Windows from the first time they touch a computer so its quirks and workarounds of bugs are engrained in the users mind.
Uprooting their entire (current) knowlegebase is inconvenient.. but it's still for the greater good of their privacy and in my opinion effectiveness of whatever they do.
Personally I find that feature (including tabs in general) very helpful and is something i'd expect from a text editor in the 20th century.
Just my opinion. To each their own, but just wanted to share that it might also be many others' opinion too.
I don't think a vpn and mail providers can relate in this scenario.
I have heard in the past that authorities have forced (possibly proton, but I forget) to basically wiretap incoming mail before proton can encrypt it for storage on the users account (because pretty much no one sends encrypted mail in a way that only the receiver can read it).
The only data other than that, that they store is ip logs (when forced to, I believe) and recovery email addresses. They are not able to present existing encrypted mail to authorities (from before a wiretap).
This seems overblown, I don't think theres more they can do. Users have to start sending encrypted mail from their inbox, then the wiretapping won't be an issue (proton address to proton address can work like this I think).
Them dropping sms took away a big carrot for adoption though.
Still miss that feature everytime I get an SMS or have to send an sms if data isn't working.
That article is stupid. Any company that receives a "legally binding order" has to comply with it.. what would you expect?
Most companies aren't going to commit a crime to protect a user (like that one dude who ran an email service and destroyed it when he was required to hand over data, forgot his name!!!!). If they did, they'd be out of business...
(The article isn't exactly dumb, but it doesn't address this properly in my opinion. The outrage over it seems dumb to me. The government will force companies to do whatever it wants, be mad at the gov not the corpo in this case when its to apprehend a journalist or whatever.. i understand if its a terrorist or similar, but this specific case may be more poopy om the gov behalf)
Not sure why people care so much, the individual can think whatever he wants, it hasn't stopped proton from continuing on its good path (even though I don't use them much nowadays, they are a great service with a respectable free tier).
The problem is unfettered access, not access at all.
average user doesn’t even know what a port number or IP address is
They don't need to, just give them a url, username and password and let them type each for each field.
(If you mean because you want them to configure a vpn to access your jellyfin instance, then just expose it to the internet and skip that, which surely you pretty much have to do for your plex instance)
Cost:Convenience
Do people really think this or will they think (like everyone i know) that it's free and I can watch what I want.
I don't know why the car has the persons name, but it's the same thing with most peoples smartphones. People usually never turn off bluetooth when not in use and it's always blasting their name. Though it is of course easier to see who Oscar is when there's a whole car model to match it to.
For car's, I wonder why they can't only blast a device name while in pairing mode. Dunno of it's just not a possibility, but that seems smort.
Very fun fact, so much so I wanted to know more.
originates from the Greek helix (ἕλιξ), genitive helikos (ἕλῐκος), "helix, spiral, whirl, convolution"[1] and pteron (πτερόν) "wing"

Sadly I have to disagree. If I have an issue on Windows, I just can never find an answer because every result on my search is the microsoft forums, which of course never has any solutions that work.
On the other hand, specifically for arch, the arch forums always have the answer for me because there are actual smart people on there.
A side note, windows and their products always have terrible documentation, which can add to the frustration at times.
