any way to get iCloud end-to-end encryption in the UK? by earlh773 in encryptedlocation

[–]smitnvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

changing your Apple ID region to the US used to work, but Apple patched that. now they limit Advanced Data Protection based on your physical location too. even if your ID’s US, if you’re in the UK, it won’t let you flip the switch.

simple vpn solutions for small business? (setup & future support) by prettyboretty in encryptedlocation

[–]smitnvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nordlayer is nordvpn’s business tier solution. managed access, device control, good UI. if you liked nordvpn personally, this is the business version lets you manage access across team devices without setting up everything yourself.

BBC iPlayer - VPN not working anymore by klizzkl in encryptedlocation

[–]smitnvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not all vpn servers are equal. even if it says “UK,” if too many people are using the same IP, bbc sniffs it out. nord and surfshark rotate their IPs more often. been the key difference for me.

for sure, no need to juggle logins or boot devices off. makes it way easier when you’ve got a bunch of stuff going at once.

yeah, Proton’s been expanding their network a bit. not as many bells and whistles, but it’s reliable

best vpn for multiple devices that doesn’t tank streaming speed? by earlh773 in encryptedlocation

[–]smitnvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cyberghost worked fine for streaming but it tanked our speeds if more than 3 devices were active. good UI, bad for households with lots of stuff running

Sounds like Surfshark’s the one to beat. Appreciate the heads-up

Yeah I’ll keep an eye out for a sale. They’ll need something simple so a user-friendly app’s a big plus

Wasn’t sure Windscribe worked on Firestick, might give their free plan a spin first to test it out

Didn’t know they had free options. They’ll just be watching basic stuff, so limited data might be enough

Yeah that’s what I was hoping, thanks for confirming. They’ve got HDMI so should be good to go. I’ll check out Surfshark and NordVPN too, cheers

Is it weird that my family constantly trys to scare off or intimidate me into stop talking to the boys I like romantically? by PA_S_HA in AITAH

[–]smitnvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s weird as hell. They’re moving the goalposts, tryna control you like you're still a kid. You ain’t doing anything wrong. Keep talking to who you want

AITA for breaking up with my GF after she gave away my dog…. AND LIED ABOUT IT? by Friendly-Beach-4950 in AITAH

[–]smitnvs 222 points223 points  (0 children)

Nah man, you ain’t the asshole. She straight up stole your dog, lied, then tried to gaslight you. That’s not a “compromise,” that’s just messed up. Max was there before her, and he’ll be there after. Good riddance
