Like what?
There is absolutely no reason why programming software for a universal remote should require a connection to a remote server to function. Program the codes you need, make some macros, and you’re done. No server needed. Codes can be easily obtained from other resources that don’t require 24/7 network access.
Their mice are great, until they need a subscription, for some reason…
And none of that relates to the VPN which, under Swiss law, is not obligated to retain any logs whatsoever.
The business found itself in hot water in 2024 after complying with a legal request to hand over the recovery email address for a Proton Mail account.
Yep, that’s how the law works in Switzerland. It’s dumb, but every company based in Switzerland operates this way. Also, if you bothered to look into it, per Swiss law, VPN services are not required to retain any logs.
That, and if you were truly privacy focused, you wouldn’t have a recovery email on your Proton account in the first place.
Y’all are blowing this way the fuck out of proportion.

Proton AG is not based in the US, and they’ve already shown that they have no access to any encrypted data multiple times.

Proton AG is privately owned by the Proton Foundation, not Andy Yen. Andy is only 1 out of 5 people on that board. He does not have full control, and has only expressed his opinion on a single person that Trump picked. That’s it. Was it distasteful? Yes. Does it mean that Andy is a trumper and hellbent on fucking over everyone else? Absolutely not.
FFS, get your facts straight.

Just to add - a rather large reason the technology we have today even exists is thanks in no small part to the x86 architecture and it’s immense backwards-compatibility.

Dude, this so fucking hard. It doesn’t even respect the system volume on my Windows 11 work laptop; despite being set at like 30%, my eardrums always get blasted at the start of the meeting. Every single time, I have to go into the volume settings and turn down the individual application (which has TWO volume controls for…reasons?), because apparently per-app volume is higher priority than system volume for reasons I have yet to find an answer to.
I want the old Volume Mixer back. At least that worked as any reasonable person would expect.
My work laptop has W11. It’s…fine. But I don’t have to manage it, so… ¯\(°_o)/¯
I had W11 on my personal gaming PC for a total of 6 months before I got fed up with it. Running W10 until I make sure it’ll run everything I need it to on Linux Mint (LMDE).
