Bro when you do research for 5 years on a product, put it out at a price that gives you back the research costs within a reasonable time and then someone comes, steals your product and sells ot for basically nothing because they produce in slave labor china that’s not just bad thats going to kill innovation and destroy the market.
If you want just the vpn without any of the very common discounts its 5€ for 2 years plan
Its the cheapest good torrenting option with good bandwidth and great privacy.
Definitely 100 times cheaper than torrenting without vpn and getting caught.
The switch was never actually good, it was just the first actual handheld after the PSP. From a technical perspective it was at best mediocre. Although the reintroduction of the handheld after it basically failed with the PSP (wich was great for its tech level but still not good enough) was well done, the actual performance of the product was not good. The stick drift was just the cherry on top.
The name the website is giving them is weird, it’s officially the “Regulatory Authority for Audiovisual and Digital Communication”, their mission is the same (fighting piracy) so it doesn’t really matter but it’s still weird to call them by one of their tasks.
All of their tasks together would be: “department of censorship” so even more DDOS reason. Fuck em.
Anyway this is an interesting study because of the data, but the reading is obviously biased, they imply that the use of VPNs and what they call “alternative DNS” (yeah guess what, if my ISP blocks websites I’m still going to access them) is suspicious, they do mention security/privacy as one of the usages (it’s the two main motivations for the majority of users in their results).
I mean the obvious reason for this is framing they hate people circumventing their censorship. And changing the DNS doesn’t even require a vpn lol…
Something interesting : NordVPN is the most used by the panel, I think it’s reasonable to explain it by the heavy marketing NordVPN did on french youtube (almost every big youtuber had an ad segment with them), but their results say otherwise, 35% of the panel says it’s based on recommendations from closed ones.
Nord heavily advertised all over Europe, this has two reasons firstly, they suck and make too much money, probably selling your data and being a security risk in general and Secondly because they are likely paid by these censorship departments to be exactly that, its a honeypot.
Proton all the way.
I don’t know why some in the panel of 3000 people would self report as pirating, it sounds dumb to admit to an infraction to the law.
Depends, if its anonymous I’d do that as well, because i would love to rub it in their faces, even if not anonymous I’d probably do it cause they can’t prove it.
There was talk about implementing large scale package inspection.
Fuck that im going with the birds.
