I have their legacy "professional" plan, and the reason it's so expensive is because back then, you could pay to add additional custom domains.
I believe they now removed that feature? I cannot find it anywhere.
Basically I have a bunch of custom domains for personal stuff, work stuff, small home business stuff, etc, and I use ProtonMail to consolidate it all into one inbox.
So while ProtonMail has a bunch of pros, and you'll be able to find them easily, I think it could be more beneficial to tell you about what I would consider cons.
Like what's happening now, they always roll out features to their top tier plans first, which can definitely suck. They absolutely don't care about how much people pay them, they care about the random plan badge associated with the account instead. When they finally added the ability to search for your emails, they rolled it out to visionary members first. Quite insane to have something so basic be locked behind a top tier membership for a limited time.
In my couple years being with them, they've had a few times where their services crapped the bed for multiple days straight. If I remember correctly, last year their mail and calendar services went down on a Monday and took until Wednesday for them to be fully restored. Absolutely destroyed productivity when you are unable to message your clients or check your calendar.
Proton also makes big claims and almost never meets them. They promised a redesign of the Android app for a couple years, and when it finally came, they were over 1 year past their already extended date. The same thing is happening with the new rewrite of the Android app that is supposed to support basic mail features like email threads.
Overall I like their services. The web UI is clean and has super awesome features like keyboard shortcuts to easily manage your email. Their services haven't went down at all, or at least not significantly to my knowledge in 2023 yet, which is good. If you're ignorant, and you don't keep up to date about their new features or planned features, you'll be happy. You really only start to get frustrated when you're waiting for a basic feature and hear it's limited to a higher tier at the moment.
You also have to be okay using their mobile app, as third party mobile email clients don't work. On desktop a few different ones will work, like Thunderbird, but only if you use proton bridge with it.
So even if another company releases a tracker (like Pebblebee), it still won't work until Google is able to push the necessary updates to Google Play services.
Ya, but if that takes them a few months, my concern is that there will be a better tracker, or these trackers will be on sale or something.
Sucks to have a purchase sit in limbo for an unknown amount of time when tech moves fast.
Oh boy lol. Lemmys growing pains. Perhaps it's because you're using kbin? I don't know, but I can confirm that the link I posted works great on Lemmy web and some android apps with proper link handling.
The Windows app is first coming to Proton Lifetime accounts and will be made available to Visionary users later. Beta invites will be sent out at a later stage.
I hate their way of managing so much.
I pay them nearly $150 per month, but I don't have lifetime or visionary so I'm just screwed and treated like scum.
How about roll it out to everyone that pays at the same time? I understand maybe holding back on free users, but why screw over your paying users? So ridiculous. I don't know of any other company that does this.
Samsung is starting to have major issues. There are lists online telling you which batches are bad. A bunch of my SSDs from them died, and if you're outside the US, they won't warranty them. They tell you to go to the store you bought them from, and the store you bought them from tells you to go to Samsung.
I'm no longer buying Samsung. They can burn in hell.
I am allergic to most meat, and the few types I can still eat I don't like to cook myself, because meat is something you need to make sure is cooked properly to be safe. So I end up rarely having it, and honestly, my life is no different. The rare times I do have it, it's great, I enjoy ribs, bacon, etc, but it's nothing I would get angry and defensive over.
I buy the beyond meat sometimes, and it's delicious as hell. I go to vegan restaurants, as I can guarantee my deathly allergy is not going to pop up there, and it's bomb ass food (usually. I find that some vegan places are -3/10, but others are 11/10 and their "meat" tastes 100% authentic and real, it's something you need to discover.).
It gets you from point A to B, costs nearly nothing to charge, and is environmentally friendly.
Why waste money on a electric alternative of a transportation device that was made to both make you do excercise AND to get you places?
It gets you there faster and without sweating. My eBike goes 50KPH. I arrive at my destination with no sweat.
If you want to get places faster, or just showoff on two wheels, that’s what motorbikes are for.
I'm sorry, but you're being very ignorant. A motorbike is thousands of dollars, requires hundreds of dollars per month in insurance, requires licenses, maintenance, fuel, etc.
Not to mention not everyone can ride a standard bike. Older people, people with chronic illnesses, etc. I personally had a double lung transplant. I'm not pedal biking, nor am I paying $750/month for motorbike insurance in my province.
Ya, this is quite annoying. Every other Lemmy app just releases the APK on GitHub.
It's obvious the Memmy developer is biased towards iOS, which is fine, but it really does feel like Android is an after thought, and in return, the app wont really be best on Android.
I'd use my ebike, but that shit will get stolen as soon as I leave it anywhere, and I cannot afford the $3,000 to replace it. So if I am actually going places, I have to drive my vehicle.
My parents have starlink. Muskrat raised the price less than 1 month after them having it. Then over the next couple months, rolled out a data limit of 1TB per month.
Their speeds also went from 250mbps down and 50mbps up to 10-15mbps down and 5mbps up.
They currently pay $150 per month for bottom of the barrel shit internet that drops signal multiple times per day. When they contacted support, support blamed it on third party routers, despite them using 100% starlink hardware.
