So am I correct. People in this topic are making fun of this fire. Just why?

Now that we know that three people died. Is it still funny?

This place is somehow so messed up. I don't really know...

I am not mad on anybody.

Startpage uses Google results. I've been using it lately when possible.

Just get ProtonVPN. I made the switch a few months ago and haven't regretted it.

Thanks, but I already have a VPN. I am just trying to point out that there are sites and companies who do this kind of shady marketing. And I personally think that it's not okay. 

NordVPN as a product is most likely okay, but their marketing is not.

Why are all these people getting offended when somebody mentions some stupid thumbnail?

People are getting offended over someone mentioning stupid editing on the thumbnail. 

Or is it just some internet meme thing to say that "oh everybody getting offended nowadays oh why oh why take me back 50 years when nobody was ever offended"? 

And because it's a meme it must be so so funny so everybody repeats it.

I got a similar variation.

They have been doing similar sales for years, but I haven't seen this behavior before. The fake timer was always there, and the sales are always on, always. But this varying discount is a new thing. I haven't seen it before at least.

Using iOS DuckDuckGo browser and removing everything and then going back to the site changes percentage too so it's not tied to IP address or location but is likely random.

NordVPN always has sale going on, but I found something funny. The discount percentage varies too. When I changed my IP address I got different percentage as many times as I wanted. And yes, timer resets too.

Blaming LTT is the wrong thing to do. No matter if they had a direct impact or not. They basically just made a video about something they spotted on internet, and showed what it is. 

The only one to blame here is the website that made it available, not the one who made a video about it being available. 

I liked the video. It was very interesting, and I appreciate them making videos like this even if some big company might get upset. If they stopped making certain videos in order to not upset somebody I would be disappointed.

I am sorry but I don't know where the app puts those files. You may try to go through files and maybe you find them. I hope you get it sorted out.

There is this official tool to create Windows 10 installation media:

EDIT. Oh it's Windows 7 you are talking about, sorry...

If you connect your phone to computer using USB cable it will work as a ”memory stick” and you can copy those files to your computer.

the latest version has a sponsor block, that blocks Linus' smooth segue. Yep as soon as I updated to the latest version, I tried it on one of the LTT videos, and it does the job

How does it do that? How does it detect parts of a video as sponsored?

In those articles "of" is sometimes "ay" sometimes "o". 

There are 195 countries in the world. Why Pakistan from all of them?

No, when you use Https all your traffic is already encrypted when it leaves your computer and your ISP is not seeing it. They may see the title of the website like linustechtips.com but that's it. They don't see the rest of the address like topic or any information on this site or any other site that uses Https. Just the main address.

Once it leaves the public wifi's ISP provider. Having an open wifi means no encryption, which means that a packet sniffer (or something similar) could be used effectively, even if HTTPS/SSL/any other encryption standard is used. A VPN solves that problem. 

A VPN encrypts traffic before it gets routed through the TOR network. It's actually really easy to pick up unencrypted traffic (TOR provides no encryption). Because TOR re-routes traffic before it hits the internet (Traffic goes from you, to your ISP, to the VPN server [if being used], to TOR, then the search engine retrieves results from the internet), it doesn't get encrypted by HTTPS/SSL. 

The first big WikiLeaks leak happened because the U.S government didn't take precautions to use something like a VPN (or an encrypted proxy) when using TOR. The founder [of WikiLeaks] just recorded traffic going through the TOR node he set up. 

As long as both are used. When TOR is used by itself, you stand out like a glow stick to whoever can see usage, etc. for the network. There's a story that a student at a college used TOR to make bomb threats, but because he didn't use a VPN (and only connected to TOR when he made the threats) it was really easy to know that that student made the threats. 

 

All this isn't to say that TOR and a VPN is a magic bullet. If, like your saying, you're using plain text connections (or without proper encryption in browser), people can see your traffic on the internet. That's one of the ways the NSA or CIA can track people.

As I said previously. Encyption, https, Tor whatever happens IN your browser INSIDE your computer BEFORE it leaves your computer. You are still trying to claim that the encryption happens outside of your computer.

You are even saying that Tor does not provide encryption. Are you kidding me.

Why not contact PIA and ask them what they meant with that gmail thing? And with everything else. And then tell us what they answered. I am interested to know, and maybe they even change their website, who knows.

Without a VPN to from your ISP is unencrypted. HTTPS only encrypts after the traffic routes through the ISP. For clarity, VPNs will encrypt between you, your ISP, until their servers (where your public IP address reflects that of the server), and then (provided you're using it) HTTPS and SSL will encrypt traffic from the VPN provider while in transit across the internet.

The encryption happens IN your browser. It's not done by your ISP. HTTPS encrypts your data between your browser and the websites server. While visiting HTTPS site your traffic is encrypted between your browser and the websites server.

Amazon owns Twitch... Amazon lets the author directly preach to its multi-billion person audience.

 

You're disdain for conspiracy theories is weird because you're literally pedaling one right now. Of all things likely to cause such a significant action against him, talking about 5G is the most outlandish and unlikely.

If a book store is selling books doesn’t mean that everybody working there agrees with every book. I don’t thing owners of book stores read all their books to make sure they agree with them. 
 

Amazon selling something doesn’t mean that everybody working on Amazon has tried or read the product. Streaming in Twitch doesn’t mean that you has to agree with everything Amazon happens to sell. Working at Twitch doesn’t mean that you agree or need to agree with everything Amazon sells. 
 

A book Amazon sells does not necessarily represent ideas and beliefs of Amazon as a company or ideas or beliefs of its employees

wait... he was supporting david icke? or he was talking shit about him?  I currently dont have access to twitch/youtube/most websites right now or I'd look up the clip.

If I remember or understood correctly he was recommending him and told his ideas are eye opening or something and told he's going to buy his book. 

Why would Linus help a random person? There are maybe tens of thousands of channels getting banned or getting content removed or whatever. What makes your channel more special than those? You already asked that in UFD Tech topic and then you made your own one hour later.

The malware list is most likely just a list of sites that are harmful or scam sites, fake tech support etc. Not the sites that are questionable for example clean and safe site that host movie downloads. It's not about something being illegal or not it's all about safety and security.

And about requesting ”taking down” sites. It may take a long time before anybody even see the request, and then investigation or something happens and... It takes time.

The salepage shown in the first post together with that ”fake” discount counter is very similar to NordVPN website, NordVPN does similar mass advertising thing as well. NordVPN even has similar popup but without counter.

At least last month they both had similar fake sale. It always resets, nordVPN sale has been going on for years maybe, always about 70% off. 

No, it's not my real IP address
