  • yeah, same thing here. like, how can I explain my wife that is less technical than me, that “hey, this Proton service is great for privacy and all, but you won’t have Calendar widgets and notifications when I add stuff to our shared calendars”, and she will be like “why?” and I will be doomed. I can accept those things, cause I care more about privacy, but she doesn’t and she prefers functionality over that






  • ok, I see some on my country sites with a reasonable price. thanks for the tips! if you don’t mind I would like to ask one more question in regards to the keys.

    How does they work in pairs? Like, I see an auction where I can buy one key separately, but to dont get locked out of account I would rather want to buy two. Should I look for auction with bundle of two? or I can set up two separate keys to be used for the same authorizaion?



  • that are good suggestions. my bank accounts all require two steps authentications, with the second one being mostly auth via mobile app, so that part is enforced and always keeps the account secured better.

    I do have one concern with the Proton account itself, as you wrote “no all eggs in one basket” rule of thumb. With the Pass, I have the 2FA integrated together with passwords (not for bank accounts) - a little risk in here with a gain on convenience.

    Though I certainly do not store my Proton password in it, keeping it memorable and more than 40 characters long makes me feel safe. Im not sure what 2FA app to use for the Proton tho, would you recommend anything? I cannot use a physical key, as my devices have different USB connectors and I cannot have a one key for all.






  • I used it today for 8 hours and damm, I must say that it is quite good. Definitely better than the “keep playing song when playlist ends” or the curated weekly lists. I had to skip songs only few times and I didn’t mark ANY as “dislike”, where I often that to do so few times in a row on the other options.

    Perhaps a change in how I use Apple Music made this better, cause I learned from some comment here or on Reddit, that the algorithm acts better if songs are marked as love/dislike to tell it the taste, not like in Spotify where it just goes along the lists or what I listened to in the past.


  • I saw you said in another comment that you recently already bought an ergo keyboard, but when you go to replace it check out some of the split ergos with integrated trackpads/trackballs that are starting to get more popular. I’m eventually going to switch over to a wireless split with a trackpad on both halves which seems like the best option.

    for sure in future I will consider that. not having to take hands off the keyboard is a great idea and I sure will want to try it once my current devices will start to rot.
