I guess it's more about the fact that for me VPN itself feels like an unnecessary step that potentially comes with risks (not saying that currently there are any issues with protonVPN, but I've used to the fact that all good things enshittify). I've never had problems pirating, the only thing government (with very low effort and barely any enforcment) blocks are online gambling sites, which pretty much everyone supports anyway. My previous ISP used to host FTP server for power users that had pirated movies and games, with speeds so fast my HDD was the bottleneck. That was around 12-14 years ago tho, I moved. EU data laws and privacy laws makes me feel somewhat safe. No known mass espionage or anything like that.
Most devices are still on USB 3.1, so there is a room for growth.
That being said, newest USB protocol supports 240w charging and 20gbps transfer rates. It's good even for next generation laptops, not even talking about phones
Chips come to mind. Your next videocard is going to be even more expensive. Not sure if the tariff is applied to digital goods like netflix and youtube premium
Bro I'm not about to spend literal working hours digging thru lemmy history looking for few comments amongst ocean of them, be realistic. I've genuinely never even used search function on this app (boost).
You'd be surprised at the shit people say. Are you new to the internet?
Lol don't bother. Each time I say something similar (ie. everyone should calm the f down), I get downvoted into oblivion. What's even more ironic is that I got downvoted for saying we don't need another genocide.
Don't act ignorant. My questions was Do you believe in international law?
What is international law? Are you talking about ICJ, where most important countries are not even member states? Then obviously no, you gotta have only few brain cells left in 2025 to think international law is a thing, otherwhise we would not see such massive war in Europe.
Rest of your comment is pretty stupid too. Most of you seem to live in some imaginary land, completely delusional from real life.
Look at how you claim that i am the stupid one when i provide sources from international law about my claims while you keep spreading lies without any sources
Holy shit this genuinely made me laugh. What next, you're going to provide me source that says using chemical weapons is banned and then ask me where is collective punishment for russia? My brother, get out from your cave
They are fighting against Iran, not defending Israel. The two hate each other. Clown, not everything that happens in the world happens because of Jews. They have been at each other's throats for a very long time. In fact, almost no one there likes Russia or Iran, you're one of the rare ones defending them.
