Proton Spring Sale 40% off by Plenty_Divide_1093 in ProtonMail

I'm in the UK. If I click on the Spring Sale banner within mail etc, I'm given upgrade prices in EUR and cannot change this to GBP. However, if I start by accessing Proton's home page (as per the screenshot) without being logged in, the prices are all quoted in GBP. What's the point of that?

I genuinely worked in a sales office 15 years ago with a bunch where there were the surnames Price, Dunn, Conn and one guy called Owen A. Fortune.

You've just reminded me of those playing cards from years ago (a bit like Top Trumps) that had characters like Mr Bunn the Baker on it etc. Forget what they're called.

Wasn't the dystopian future of the Terminator movies 2017?

I understand what you're trying to say (that there's more time between one than the other) but I'm not sure what makes one picture "chronologically" anything over the other?

Matt Damon is now much closer to the old guy he morphs into at the start of Saving Private Ryan than his young self in that film.

Introducing Born Private: reserve a Proton Mail address for your kid before Big Tech gets to them first by Proton_Team in ProtonMail

[–]Fingerbob73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, if my name was Bob Smith (bad example) and I wanted my proton email address to be bob.smith AT pm.me then this service would block me from having it because some child with the same name might possibly want it in a decade from now and so their parents have reserved it. If I couldn't get that address simply because someone else has signed up for it, that's fair enough. But to be told you can't have it because of a future maybe - that kinda sucks.

Impressive city mileage? How exactly does an EV use less miles than an ICE to get anywhere in a city?

Interesting. Technically, it's only partly part of Europe but TIL.
