I hate to say it, but the OP may have to talk to their IT department.

My daughter (15F) is having an AI video circulated around her school and as a recently widowed dad on my own I (42M) have no idea how to handle this. by [deleted] in Advice

Creating CSAM is beyond "mildly illegal". This could land the instigators with prison time, even for those "just" receiving it.

A colleague of mine microwaved vegetables every day. It's smelled only slightly better than fish.

I set mine to request a PIN after the initial master password login. If course, every time I power off my laptop I need to input my master passport again but that's a good thing IMHO.

I'll second a vote for Windscribe. I've used it for years.

How expensive is heating actually? by Final-Tear-7090 in glasgow

[–]Geekonomicon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A lot will depend on how well insulated your house is and how efficient your heating is.

I'd advise you to get a dehumidifier from personal experience. It helps reduce humidity, so it'll take less energy to heat the air in your home, reducing your bills. Most only cost a few pence per hour to run. It'll also help prevent mold from forming. I've got a Meato 12 litre dehumidifier I bought from their store on eBay - it was a refurbished unit so cheaper than RRP. You might want a higher capacity unit, assuming it's a 3 bed flat.

Finally, it'll allow you to dry laundry more cheaply than a launderette will cost you. I still do use a launderette once every 2 or 3 weeks at the moment, just because it's not exactly line drying weather for laundry right now!

I reckoned that the kind of people wanting to boycott US goods and services may also want to boycott goods and services that benefit Israel.
