In my experience, the proper infosec professionals both know and balance this well, it's the amateurs and posers who gets it wrong.

That's a tradeoff you make yourself and in no way a monopoly.

This is stupid.

I'm lucky enough to have driven quite a few modern Ferraris (488, 812, FF, California) and what they have in common is that their interiors are not very pretty or advanced, but everything is where you'd expect and gives the info you need (that is, apart from the horrible non-deterministic placement of the indicator switches on the steering wheel).

This is not a Ferrari interior. It's an interior for rich people who will buy a Ferrari EV and think they have a Ferrari. Like the Purosangue before it, it cosplays as a Ferrari while diluting the brand.

I recently went straight from a California to a Miata ND, and the Miata is just so much more fun in every conceivable way. Cheaper interior for sure, but it can actually be used in fun ways on normal roads and you cannot hide weight with electronics.

Still, the Norwegian parliament has no direct input on who is chosen for the peace price.

(I am fully aware of the setup of the committee, hell, Norway is a small country so i've even met a couple of the members.)

Obama was a stupid choice, you'll get no argument from me there.

Yeah, so i'm not running Chrome either. I do not (from experience) trust Microsoft or Google to have software constantly running on my computer.

I realize that i can disable the service of course, but then i end up with outdated software.

The point is that Norway does not hand out the peace price - an independent committee does.

And its Oslo, not Geneva.

Can I download Teams without it also requiring Microsoft updaters and other stuff that insists on lurking in the background? Having a standalone MS app is fine, but I will never allow their updaters and background processes.

I loathe analytical sound. It destroys all listening pleasure for me. Give me nice warm coloured midtones and I'm happy!

Proper sleep.

I've always believed the deal with Apple was that I pay more, but then I am the customer and not the product.

Apple is not stupid, so I guess their research shows that this is not a common enough sentiment that adding ads will measurably hamper sales.

To someone who loathes ads (like me), this is a tragedy.

If they do close an account they have a support line you can call and talk to a human.
