I've been reasonably happy with Runbox. Decent features, pricing, and servers in Norway. The webmail isn't great, but I don't really use it. If you must have encryption, I think the only option is Tuta.

Cutting videos with copy can result in some weird playback issues if the cuts aren't on keyframes.
For manually cutting up videos, I use LosslessCut, which I think uses ffmpeg under the hood and is really helpful for finding and cutting on keyframes.

This was addressed in the accepted answer:
> rapid rewarming from open campfires or other sources of dry heat caused so much devastation.....Dry heat from ....open fires....cannot be controlled. Excessively high temperatures are usually produced, resulting in a combined burn and frostbite, a devasting injury that leads to far greater tissue loss.
Sounds like it was an overreaction to applying excessive heat to the frostbitten tissue.

I wonder if open sourcing it might have been a low(er)-level engineering decision, so there wasn't any marketing/PR awareness.

> I don't want to do the math, so I'll ask Perplexity to look it up
These numbers are totally wrong, and it takes about 30 seconds to look it up. It closed at 589.95 on 2024-10-11 and 172.04 on 2023-02-23. The other numbers appear to be wrong too.

Come on, I think you're just looking for things to get upset about (and not engaging with the content in any meaningful way).
Assigning specific (and colorful) names to scams/cons has always been a thing. See
- Pig in a poke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_in_a_poke
- Spanish prisoner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Prisoner
- Badger game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badger_game
- Coin smack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin-matching_game
- Pigeon drop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_drop
And anyway, the name seems to come from the scammers themselves in China, so I don't know why the media would be to blame.

How does that math work?

Hardening is absolutely not what crowdstrike sells. They essentially sell OS monitoring and anomaly detection. OS monitoring involves minimizing the attack surface, usually by minimizing the number of services running and limiting the ability to modify the OS

A video call is excessive, but a phone call seems fine, even good. Far better than just being ghosted after many hours of interviewing.

Seems like this may not have been an outage, but intentional while they worked on fixing a longstanding vulnerability. https://threadreaderapp.com/scrolly/1734802168723734764

I imagine you find yourself running into “left wing” stuff a lot right?

Just in case anyone else hasn't heard of "Opindia" before (the second link):
> OpIndia is an Indian right-wing news website that frequently publishes misinformation. Founded in December 2014, the website has published fake news and Islamophobic commentary on many occasions. OpIndia is dedicated to criticism of what it considers "liberal media", and to support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Hindutva ideology. According to University of Maryland researchers, OpIndia has shamed journalists it deems opposed to the BJP, and has alleged media bias against Hindus and the BJP. In 2019, the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) rejected OpIndia's application to be certified as a fact checker. IFCN-certified fact checkers identified 25 fake news stories and 14 misreported stories published by OpIndia from January 2018 to June 2020.
