This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

...which is why today's sponsor is NordVPN!
(don't actually use NV there are much better options, this was for comedic effect)
What's wrong with Nord?
Overall the marketing is dishonest/over promises and there's some previous lack of transparency with data breaches along with being closed source. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NordVPN#Criticism

*Builds privacy site*
*Embeds Google sheet*
That sheet seems to hold Nord in pretty good regard,
I used to use Nord. Happier with Mullvad, way less faff

aside from the fact it just doesn't work on windows 10 anymore for me?
idk it also seems to not work for torrenting, one of my ISPs blocks torrent traffic when using it now
I use it on windows 10 with no issue
Nord is owned by a shady company
it has google firebase trackers https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/652224/
use mullvad instead
It's not too bad. The client is the usual bulky Electron trash though.
Nothing really, I've been using them for years and have had no issues.
If you're just pirating movies it's fine, as long as you're not selling state secrets or anything like that you're fine with nord.
For real. I don't torrent much rn but I absolutely would if I saw this
