Is your suggestion to self host your email or not use email? I’m not sure why you couldn’t find a company that you do trust, and proton seems to be one of the most likely candidates.
I suppose that’s a fair point, although I thought they didn’t have access to your data in terms of email content. I agree with the point about not putting all your eggs in one basket but I’d seriously consider them for email only.
@possiblylinux127 okay. But self hosting Posteo on a VPS ! The VPS company can still see your mails if it's imap and maybe give them to the government as well.
I wasn’t able to replicate this, in safari highlighting a couple words or several hundred words both worked fine, the copy option was there and stayed there both times. I tried on a iPad mini and an iPhone SE
Hello! I have some experience on that as a user(cpap) and as someone that checked the IT system for an health provider that used resmed.
it’s super late here already so I’ll in greater detail what usually happens with resmed equipment as well as what the company may be receiving in their systems
Sounds like he wants to air that he’s willing to not sleep well for the sake of… People not knowing he doesn’t sleep well… I’m not losing any sleep over this, I hope Mr. “People can’t know I don’t sleep well” doesn’t either.
Also the idea of privacy while posting to a public forum. Er but by the grace of god go I.
The nature of his medical condition isn’t relevant here. It could be his blood pressure, heart beats, whatever that makes an insurance company charge a premium on that poor sucker.
I get your message, but I was not referring to the machine. I was referring that the what kind of data logged by the machine didn’t matter in the context of privacy.
It’s not the collected data itself that’s the problem you dipshit. Don’t you know that distributors often make customers sign contracts at lease or purchase for warranty and tie that customer data along with statistics? You must be fun at parties.
So what? I post concerns about user privacy on a privacy forum and this is what I get? A gatekeeping comment about how my concerns are overblown? Way to promote the platform.
You can put an SD card in the side and potentially use OSCAR to read the data with the ResMed Airsense 11.
My insurance, if in a poor cell area, would let me ship the data to them on an SD card. I had to if I didn’t want to pay full sticker price for the machine.
Notepad is heavily used as an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) by a lot of people. It’s not exactly a good development environment but it is nonetheless. I would actually argue Notepad is used primarily by programmers, and that casual Windows Notepad users are in the extreme minority. The whole reason it’s so heavily used is because unlike WordPad or Word, it doesn’t include formatting data, which can fuck up computer code.
Notepad++ for example is literally built to be more like an actual IDE and supports color-schemes and indentations for numerous computer programming languages.
Microsoft isn’t entirely stupid (just mostly), and in knowing this, they’re pushing to put their programming Copilot where they think it needs to be: Inside IDEs, which to them includes Notepad.
Notepad++ may very well be widely used as an IDE. Notepad isn’t. Other than the name they have nothing do do with each other. It’s just a plain text editor with absolutely no features. Maybe some people use it to write code but unless you can’t use anything else, even a web browser, why would you.
Notepad is used by anyone who wants to see what is actually in a text file.
It’s used a lot for stuff where data is transferred in a text format. Comma separated files etc. are still widely used for transferring data flawlessly without having to convert types or mapping a document standard or whatever method that could potentially fuck up or just take more time. It’s simple and it works.
F.i if you open a file in excel or word, change one character and then save, you can bet that the entire file is fucked up afterwards, because those programs don’t show the data directly. The moment you open it, it might very well be fucked up just from that. If you transfer a file by some kind of JSON format, which is all the rage currently you’ll have to map it from both ends, and it also begs the question: Why are we doing running all this code just to transfer one byte?
The beauty of text files is that it’s (almost) raw data. (Only “almost” because there are still different localization standards that can fuck up even a text file.)
Notepad covers that. Of course we could use other apps for viewing data, but most of the time, it actually is text and not hexidemal codes or whatever you can save in bytes.
Programming wise, the only thing I use notepad for is making DOS batch files. Again, because it’s raw text and should be created and read as such. No parsing, no compiling. Just text. I’ll also use it for storing data for programs, because it’s easy and raw.
For actual programs, it’d be better to get Notepad++ or MS visual studio code, which at least will highlight commands and collapse functions etc. And still, these also aren’t actually IDEs, because they don’t compile the code (unless you get those add-ins).
We could also use those for text files as well, but it’s overkill. I don’t really want to open an app to view data. Notepad is small and quick and not bloated with features, which is ideal for whenever I only want to see what’s in the file.
The original MS Paint was similar for pictures. They fucked that up real good. Its been…14 years and I haven’t really gotten over how bad it is. It used to be pixel perfect and logical, but now you can’t even save a file with transparency, but hey here’s s brush with stroke width and blur that’ll make sure you can’t edit a single pixel. Way to go Microsoft.
If they do the same to Notepad, I’ll have to resign my job, because it’s not going to work like that.
Search through your settings for a “Quick Pair” or “Fast Pair” option. Turn it OFF. Do not leave it turned on except during times when you’re wanting to use a known device you’ve bought new that supports the feature.
Turn the feature off when not setting up new devices to work with other devices.
For anyone running a ROM based very closely on AOSP, the ability to disable Fast Pair was sadly not built into the OS until Android 14
Before Android 14, it is possible that Google has backported this setting to your device using Play Services. It can be found under Google Settings, Devices and sharing, Devices, and “Show Notifications”
Did you tell them that you don’t have access to your account? Because to me, this reads like the default answer (“here’s how you do it yourself”), not like they won’t do it by email if asked to do so.
My company does the same - if you ask our support how to delete the data, they will send you a link to the customer portal. Only if you tell them that doesn’t work for you, they will work out another way.
We built the feature into the customer portal, so we want people to use it if possible. Because that’s way less work for our support team.
First I wrote on live chat support. After they couldn’t help me, I sent the email.
…and it’s not the email alone I’m mad at (maybe a little) but the overall experience I had with them. After explaining my issue I was told multiple times they couldn’t do anything and the best suggestion I got was “you could create another account”, that’s not helpful. What am I supposed to do, just leave the old one to die slowly and forgotten?
saying when the account was created (month and year)
This is an absurd requirement, but do you have a ballpark idea, and does it let you continue to guess multiple times? Submit a few dozen password reset requests and if they complain, tell them to verify you via alternate means.
It allows 3 guesses, but I don’t know how often they reset. I’m pretty sure the account was created after September 2019, but that’s still a lot of possibilities.
As long as it’s opt-in (which it is), I’m not sure I understand the concern. You’d have to enable it.
Go has been routing module requests through GOPROXY since modules were introduced; it’s where all of the mod version is cached, so any time anyone builds a Go package from source, calls are made to the mother ship. Unless the builder is running their own proxy, which is mostly corps, who care less about this sort of telemetry. There are good, valid reasons for the main Go proxy, but it’s certainly also a valid concern that the Go core dev team is utterly deaf to.
In any case, the only thing that’s new is the telemetry which, as I mentioned, is opt-in. I don’t see any reason for new concern.
So, that means telemetry is optional? How I ensure is currently active or not? Just wanna an explanation. I (as I said) searched about this thing and got almost nothing :(
it’s where all of the mod version is cached, so any time anyone builds a Go package from source, calls are made to the mother ship.
I don’t understand it at all. Why I’ll need something like that?
IIUC it is mostly to avoid placing huge load on the original package host when people download the same package hundreds of times a day in their CI workflow. It also means that Google can take control over the user experience rather than huge issues coming up every time some smaller host goes down or someone deletes an existing package version.
Overall I doubt that this proxy was added as a source of tracking. And the privacy policy on the service is pretty strict: proxy.golang.org/privacy. So even though I am pretty wary of Google overall I think this is actually a fairly reasonable decision by them to have enabled by default.
I don’t really have a source. It is just me thinking logically about the system and many offhand comments I have read over time. Other than the privacy policy which I have linked.
