I'd like to see your sources on that statement.

PIA has literally gone to US federal court at least twice, and prevailed both times proving they had no logs to share with authorities.

PIA has an actual track record of privacy protection success, which is something few other VPN providers have.

Seeing an issue that just started this morning, Connect launches to the splash screen but hangs. Neither force quitting the app nor rebooting the phone helps. App was working great yesterday.

My instance is fmhy, its web interface seems to be up and running normally. Suggestions? Thanks!

Been running boinc / World Community Grid jobs for like 10+ years straight. Has all sorts of throttling settings, so it's pretty much set it and forget it, it doesn't interfere with other apps I run.

Europe in general needs to fund a more robust network of undersea cables globally...but politics get in the way.

So THAT'S what the Swedish Chef is always talking about. He must really like that as an ingredient!

I believe is was pulled from service after Spain signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions.

Well, technically it is a solved problem. Spain fielded electronically fused cluster bomblets that were disabled via a drained capacitor if not exploded in 5 minutes. This eliminated the possibility of live duds.

This Espin system has since been removed from service. Not sure if there are any similar system currently in use.

I love the flat plastic barbed things you shove down the drain, pulling back a ton of gunk stuck on the barbs: Zip tool

They cost a couple bucks at a hardware ire home improvement store. They work extremely well.

Well, since there are no "degrees" in Celsius measurements, that seems unlikely?

Celsius is the actueal unit of measurement, unlike Farenheit, which is a scale with the units being degrees.

IBM bought a an innovative SAN company, and sold these products for a while as their XIV brand (no relation to my username!). Was pretty much superior in most ways to their home-grown SAN offerings.

They killed the entire line off, after the 3rd gen product; about all that remains of it is the management UI, they butchered it and applied it to their own SANs. But the UI was only a small part of what made XIV great.

The original XIV founder went on to found Infinidat, which basically carries on where XIV left off, it was a great migration to their hardware!
