2 main reasons in my view:

• windows is the de facto standard for desktop ans users management. So each corp has at least one guy used to the interface to dofirst-level debug
• windows comes with support, not linux. So corps don’t want to employe one Linux admin “just in case”. That’s the main reason I keep hearing from sysadmins I know

45€/month for 250 Mbits/sec in ADSL. 85€ for 1Gbps in optic fiber (250Mbps upload)

I have the ADSL connection, and sometimes in hot summer it disconnects. Same in case of thunderstorm.

Back in France, I had 1Gbps (up and down) optic fiber for 40€, and not a single interruption in 4 years.

Germany is shit for Internet connections…

Expensive and slow…

It’s possible, I’ve been tricked last year by a similar attack (the sneakiest attack possible to target privacy people, imho).

I praise IT Security for putting so many safeguards, sandboxes and verifications!

TL;DR Both are crap and don't respect your choice when opting out. iOs is even (a tiny bit) worse than Android, as info of nearby devices are being also sent.

Tried the quiz. First question: an app request access to data, what do you do?

• allow all
• allow nothing and uninstall
• all strictly what is necessary (e.g. location for Uber)

Boy, first question and you already fuck up… Never heard about the concept of address?

You know that NAS can go in sleep mode, right? And wake up only when you try to activate them.

But what is the use-case? Only make your holiday films available to a media center? Or do you plan to also use it as a storage for other devices?

In the first case a sbc can do the trick (however can struggle if you share 4k). But I would definitely look into “real” NAS (Synology, qnas, etc.) before using a sbc.

I don’t expose my dns, because I don’t bother. I’m using Android phone, so I accept my phone is not private.

But a VPN could be a solution to get in touch with your dns.

Best advice. Set your own dns resolver, it’s easy.
