If you're in acute danger, call the cops. A credible threat has been made. Even if they can't remove you or your brother, everything being on file might serve at the very least as a deterrent to execute his plan.

I've tested kagi and agree that the search results are great. What I don't like is that it's making anonymous searching impossible, since I have to be logged in to use it (or use my unique token as part of the url for mobile searches).

Ultimately this means to me that in a private window mode (or even logged out with a fingerprinting resistant browser) I do not have the same degree of anonymity I enjoy even when using Google, let alone DDG or others.

I like the idea of not being dependent on google, but exposing my entire search history to one single entity is not my answer of choice.

Escalate it to the EU consumer watchdog, they got some real teeth.

Assuming you bought the Italian version because you're living in Italy.

Best case, you get your money back.

To avoid such issues in the future, CrowdStrike should prioritize rigorous testing across all supported configurations.

Bold of them to assume there's a future after a gazillion off incoming lawsuits.

Because you are still on Twitter.

Reads like thinly veiled advertising for the services offered by the website this article comes from. I doubt it's anywhere close to a representative sample.

LOL, some of the comments in the source are gold.

Note:  We do need to explicitly close FCBs.  Reasons are as follows:  If we
; are running in the no-sharing no-network environment, we are simulating the
; 2.0 world and thus if the user doesn't close the file, that is his problem
; BUT...  the cache remains in a state with garbage that may be reused by the
; next process.  We scan the set and blast the ref counts of the FCBs we own.
;
; If sharing is loaded, then the following call to close process will
; correctly close all FCBs.  We will then need to walk the list AFTER here.
;
; Finally, the following call to NET_Abort will cause an EOP to be sent to all
; known network resources.  These resources are then responsible for cleaning
; up after this process.
;
; Sleazy, eh?~

CNET lost my trust when they repacked software and drivers in their archive with a homebrew installer that bundled bloatware. Initially the bing search bar, then Opera, latest I remember was some antivirus solution. Sure, you can deselect them all, but I hate those business practices with a passion.

Lawyer time. At will, maybe. But you've been assaulted on the job, are now suffering from severe anxiety (right???), and got fired on top of it? They'll eat your boss for breakfast and get a nice severance package out of it.

Mark Rober.

He got louder, flashier, less techy and more talky and is doing a gazillion reruns of the same general idea over and over. Can't really enjoy it anymore.

Time to ban Twitter and call it a day.

We learned swimming in primary school in Germany, no opting out.

But having lived in several African countries and now in China, it's surprising how many people not only can't swim, but are deathly afraid of water.
