Whoah, thanks for that. I rarely use fb and while I knew that they collected and connected information anywhere they could, but I had only ever seen the main fb settings and turned those off as much as possible.

This is wild.

People have commented that it’s crazy that I have completely disabled all updates on my win10 machine. This sort of thing is why.

Edit: I haven’t had a virus or malware since… I was a teenager. It seems like if you use an adblocker, don’t click links from unknown sources, and are aware of your network activity, you are pretty safe. The writing is on the wall, I am aware that I will need to switch to Linux soon, but I am also aware that Linux has compatibility issues with my particular machine and doesn’t work with certain activities I like to do. I am hoping these issues will be mostly sorted by the time I make the leap.

I am using vger right now, in firefox. I also use the web app without a download on my phone, as does my husband. Voyager is amazing.

Same, everything we have purchased from them has been high quality.

To add simple storage you could go with something like this: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BQ6SHNP1?

I was blown away at the cool design (the case and cover are the heatsink, you install it with a thermal paste pad inside - how cool is that?!) and how inexpensive 1TB m2 cards are now.

If you want expandable storage, then maybe a NAS?

Husband set up one a year or so ago and it has been really cool. Easy to back up and access anything on it.
