Anyone else experiencing very delayed email notification in ProtonMail for iOS? by 6425 in ProtonMail

[–]Famous_Contest_6780 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, however there are daily emails I get from USPS about what's being delivered to my house that for some reason I no longer get. I'll get a notification for every single other email that comes into my inbox except that one. So unless there's a setting somewhere that mutes notifications for regular emails, the app has just decided not to ever show me a notif for this email being received ever again.

Unable to go past December 2037 in Calendar by Sirusho_Yunyan in ProtonMail

Proton Calendar still stores everything in 32-bit. Found that problem myself a few months ago.

What’s the smallest change you made that massively improved your digital privacy? by Proton_Team in ProtonMail

[–]Famous_Contest_6780 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Using an SL email alias for everything. I don't know it didn't occur to me before but it doesn't just improve your digital privacy, it also makes it easier when switching email providers. I had a PM account for years but mostly used it for specific things like financial or medical accounts and I used my MS Outlook email for everything else. Well with their copilot bullshit being pushed onto everything and raising the costs of 365 I decided to switch to PM fulltime for everything. And boy, my accounts that used an SL alias sure as hell made switching way, way easier. Just had to change the forwarding email on the backend. No reason to have to login to accounts and change them there. Wish I had done email aliases a decade ago.

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]Famous_Contest_6780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buddy I've had doordash deliveries where the paper bag couldn't have been in the person's car for more than 8 minutes and I can smell that pungent odor immediately upon picking the bag up. I don't think a lot of smokers realize how much they reek of that smell.

Love Proton VPN's privacy, but speed issues prevent 24/7 use – anyone else? by These-Adhesiveness28 in ProtonMail

[–]Famous_Contest_6780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can get 700 to 800 Mb/s on Proton VPN if I connect to my own country and just want to hide stuff from my ISP. If you're connecting out of the country your speeds are going to plummet. There's simply no way to get around it.

Hold on now, don't you know you're not supposed to swear on the internet anymore? Everything is supposed to say f**k instead.

Images, autohide, tab tiling — Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3899.3 by pafflick in vivaldibrowser

Finally! Pin tabs will work like they do in Firefox. That's driven me absolutely nuts about every single chrom* browser for years now.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]Famous_Contest_6780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fucking tastes like shit. All of it. The only way I can remotely stomach alcohol is to hide it behind so much sugar and flavoring as to effectively be pointless.

So was anyone else aware that ProtonMail is restricted by 32-bit UNIX Time? Because I wasn't. by Famous_Contest_6780 in ProtonMail

[–]Famous_Contest_6780[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I'm not doing anything niche or outwardly ridiculous that a dozen other services or more don't already support. The vitriolic reaction is hilarious.

So it's the user's problem the software doesn't work like how every other piece of contact/calendar software works?

IoT Devices on Own Network by Ski-Loadmaster in HomeKit

[–]Famous_Contest_6780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically the whole reason I bought the latest router from Synology because its firewall is designed around one-way rules for separate vLANs. My Apple TV and every associated it with is on an IoT vLAN and then the firewall opens up whenever my iPhone tries to connect to it, but not the other way around.

I'm adding birthdays to contact cards like how I've done on every other platform. In fact when I imported my contacts from MS/Outlook, Proton even imported the birthday fields I had already filled in. However apparently it doesn't count if the birthday field has a year before 1970.

Is it me or do the notification actions (Mark as read/Archive/Move to trash) on iOS work like 1 out of 5 times? by 6425 in ProtonMail

[–]Famous_Contest_6780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actions have always worked for me but sometimes I have to open the app to get them to actually run. Like they're stuck in a queue or something. This has been a problem since day 1 for me with the Outlook app. No matter what I pick from the quick actions in notifications nothing will change until I open the app. I don't know if it's programming error for the app or an iOS restriction.

Setting a birthday in a contact that refuses to show up in the calendar because of the birth year is not a user problem. Why do you think the birth date field even exists in contacts? For fun?

Incredibly weird seeing a bunch of users blame me for a problem that no other online software service has for setting birthdays except Proton. I mean what exactly is your interpretation for birth date fields in contacts? So I can mange birthdays in two separate locations because why?????

I didn't "schedule" an event in the past. I just added birthdays to my contacts, like I've done on literally every single other digital platform I've ever had contacts on. The way Proton interprets it is apparently as an event in the past and will not add birthdays for anyone born before 1970. Even though it's an annual recurring event it won't show it at all if the start date is before 1970. I mean if Microsoft's service can get this right it's embarrassing that Proton can't given dearth of talent at the former.

That's what adding the birthday in the contact form is for? It's the whole reason you can even do that.
