In the UK I think it depends how much you torrent, how often, and who your ISP is. I’m pretty sure the big main ISPs all have to be vigilant and tell their customers off for doing it. I use a small ISP, and I set my upload speed to 10Mbits and my download to half my max bandwidth. I don’t seed a library of stuff just whatever is being downloaded, then I stop. So yes. I’m a leech and have been for years. No VPN. However we only torrent when we can’t get something on a service we already pay for so not more than 3 times a week.

tl;dr - in the UK use a small ISP and stay below the radar and you’ll be fine.

I’m on Pixel 7 and current Firefox, but it won’t install. It Just says “no app found to open xpi files”

Edit: fixed. Have to engage Dev options. Settings > About > tap the Firefox icon a few times. Then go back to settings and you’ll see the “install add-on from file” option.

Scarry read.

I wondered what was going on when Steam said Counter-Striker 2 successfully updated.

Boot Drive could be immutable and not contain any form of log?

Basically being single, and 18 to 25 years old, about 20 years ago. I remember those days.

Gymnastics, surfing, and study and write philosophical works. And maybe practice guitar.

Bitwarden - does everything, and is free. You can even setup a shared vault so 2 people can have access to shared stuff like online shopping and streaming sites. Takes a bit of admin work but it is not hard.

Recognise. There is a G in it but everyone pronounces it Reckonise. They are actually 2 totally different words so this isn’t really what you meant but I hate that people don’t prounce the letter G.
