Just think, somewhere in the multiverse is a universe where boomers can’t afford houses because their kids traveled back in time and bought them all up.
I just now discovered why people are hating on Ubuntu pro by receiving a note that Ubuntu will not provide security updates for some apps it came with unless you activate Pro.
I think I’m done with Ubuntu on any personal machines.
Adding a PSA to state that you shouldn’t take medical advice from random people on the Internet.
If you are trained in CPR, follow your training. If your certification has expired you should re-up it. There are legal reasons some training says certain things in different areas and following your training will protect you even if you go to a place with different laws.
If you are a gamer and have a need for a portable computer and can only afford a single machine, gaming laptops are great. I also had one for a while that I was using for lan parties and conventions. Worked great.
Unless your government id has a PO box on it you’re likely not going to get the results you’re looking for. As somebody else mentioned, that info is public record.

I will say that Apple is 100 percent collecting your data. Health, financial, biometric, anything you put in an Apple Device is subject. Like most large companies, the are probably also purchasing profile data from Acxiom and Experian.
I don’t know if they are doing it with this service but Apple is definitely not respecting your privacy.

Apple wants everybody to be in their single ecosystem to better build profiles in their systems.
On Windows and Mac, you are doing a number of things implicitly that you don’t realize.
When you download from their site, you are expected to verify the integrity and validity of the install file yourself. You also have to take ownership of installing any dependencies yourself.
With the instructions mulvad is providing you, you are connecting to a repo and apt does all that for you.
Some installs don’t require dependencies, but some do. Long term, this style of install tends to be a lot simpler, you just have to learn it.
But more importantly and as others have stated. Linux is different. If you aren’t interested in learning a new workflow, you should stick with something familiar. That’s a choice you should make not because others said it but because you want it.
