Hey #Sling #SlingTV, why am I paying ~$50/mo to not be able to watch TV?

FYI, I’m using #ProtonVPN on my router not to circumvent media deals or whatever TF your rules are, but to protect my family’s privacy from my ISP and fascist government. The VPN server I’m connected to is local, you just don’t like that you can’t track my viewing habits, I’m guessing.

Well fuck you then.

A digital screen displays a message indicating a location issue, listing two troubleshooting steps: 1) Ensure the device is not on VPN; 2) Enable location services if they are disabled (for mobile devices only).

weird herm

Does anyone have a good printable document for spotting email & web scams? My dad just got into another one. I’ve been through checking email addresses and URLs but that doesn’t seem to stick. This time it was a Norton “refund” #scam and they almost got his bank account info.

I was thinking a checklist we could print out near his computer would be useful. So he’d have a list to review when thinking about whether to click or not.

Boosts welcomed
