For what it's worth, upcoming iOS 26 has a new screening feature. The idea is that calls from numbers you don't have a connection with will be asked to briefly identify themselves and why they're calling. It'll show you this text and give you the choice to block/send-to-voicemail/ignore/accept.

So iOS will automatically confirm your number for spammers? That's nice...

> The last two providers offered true end-to-end encryption

This is not quite right. The only offer e2ee if you send an email to someone on the same provider (e.g. ProtonMail to ProtonMail). If you write to someone using Gmail, it's not e2ee.

IMHO this kind of e2ee is interesting for companies (because every employee is on the same provider, and it's better to have the internal communications on ProtonMail than shared with Google on Gmail), but for a personal email it doesn't matter so much.

What's really important is to have a custom domain so that you are not stuck with one provider.

Custom domains make it really simple to move around. I was able to move from Gmail to ProtonMail on a Sunday afternoon without anyone knowing that I'd made a change.

I moved my domain to ProtonMail at the start of the year and my only real challenge is shared calendars.

Does anyone have a suggested solution that allows multiple people to share and manage a calendars that isn't Google Calendar or locked to a particular platform (Apple).

That looks much better indeed, wasn't able to write anything with the OP's library.

The OP's library gas settings if you scroll down. I found these values work well on my phone: 20, 0.05, 5

Maybe, but due to the physics of signal integrity, socketed RAM will always be slower than RAM integrated onto the same PCB as whatever processing element is using it, so by the time CAMM / LPCAMM catches up, some newer integrated RAM solution will be faster yet.

This is a matter of physics. It can't be "fixed." Signal integrity is why classic GPU cards have GiBs of integrated RAM chips: GPUs with non-upgradeable RAM that people have been happily buying for years now.

Today, the RAM requirements of GPU and their applications has become so large that the extra, low cost, slow, socketed RAM is now a false economy. Naturally, therefore, it's being eliminated as PCs evolve into big GPUs, with one flavor or other of traditional ISA processing elements attached.

Perhaps it's time to introduce L4 Cache and a new Slot CPU design where RAM/L4 is incorporated into the CPU package? The original Slot CPUs that Intel and AMD released in the late 90s were to address similar issues with L2 cache.

The funny thing about this is that my municipality just recently started encrypting their radios at all. And it was controversial! Residents liked being able to listen in to the scanners.

Thunderbird search is one of the best I've ever seen. Very granular options. Highly recommend.

I've managed to divest myself of most Google Apps. At this point I'm only using them for shared docs or calendars.

You can't know there's only a wired connection unless you open the camera up and inspect the PCB for an antenna, and it could still be disguised. However, by "I've only given it access to a specific network" you already eliminate 99.99% of the problem. The other 0.01% isn't really worth worrying about.

I know you're joking, and there's been murmurings of it becoming economical for TV manufacturers to put 5G in their TVs to spy on your viewing habits.

The search in Google Messages on Android is completely useless too. It seems like it only searches within the past few days or something, if I try searching for something from a while back it never finds it. And they removed the feature to quickly scroll back to a date in the past, so the only way to dig up old texts is to manually scroll back in a conversation and hope you find it. It's absolutely ridiculous that the search is so bad when it's an app by Google of all companies.

It's literally all Google products. They've just simplified and contextualized and added other things over the years such that if you're not searching for something already above the fold then it won't show up.

When I was using Gmail I had an email with important information that I needed about once a year. I knew the exact subject and who it was from but it would never show up in search. It was my only starred email so I could find it on demand.

This was $25B this morning. What changed?

> Following the report, CyberArk’s stock surged by 13% in U.S. trading, while Palo Alto's stock declined by 3%.

Seems the market is happy for the purchased but not the buyer. Hope that works out for them.

cptskippy · 24 days ago
$25B is "over $20B", so I guess phrasing changed?
