Very good. I really like the bezel design on this, and congrats on whatever life event triggered this purchase.

I used Mullvad, found them great for everything and would be my only VPN if they were big enough to facilitate streaming via other countries. Due to smaller number of servers it isn’t possible to use a lot of streaming services with them…I found this out when o/s and needing to VPN into my home country to access my geo-locked streaming service.

If you use Uber Eats or their equivalents you deserve to pay through the teeth. They have been fucking restaurants and their drivers/riders for years, only right they now fuck the customers.

Plenty of food options delivered already using their own staff who, for the most part, were covered under existing labour laws. You honestly need cold McDonalds delivered to your house on a rainy night by a guy on a pushbike who is getting paid fuck all?

If you support these companies it means supporting their abhorrent labour practices, in which case I hope you tear up your own employment contract and ask your boss to cut your wages and move your desk outside. We didn’t get where we are today by being individualistic little shits, it was workers united in Unions that won us the rights we enjoy, and with those rights comes the responsibility not to sit and watch other workers get fucked but rather rather standup and support them.

Yes, I agree, a 24H bezel would add a lot more functionality but I really built this one around that matte silver/chrome Yacht master look, the GMT was added because I got a NH34 on sale.

Planning a skx build now with 24H bezel and either a NH34 or 35/36.

32 teams in the NFL, 15-16 games a week.

There’s approx. 240 different possible outcomes each week, chances that you land on the correct one twice in a row is near impossible.

So you wouldn’t be conning anyone, unless you were picking only one game each week, in which case you have a 50% chance and therefore no one would care if you got it right twice, an octopus can do that.

Further to the above, the sports gambling industry is huge, chances that you can offer something over and above what multi-million dollar betting agencies can offer is frankly absurd unless you’re an MIT Maths grad.

It seems as though it was more a part of the Bing deal. In that MS said you can have Bing if you allow Bing and LinkedIn trackers. DDG were then able to negotiate a subsequent agreement that now blocks those trackers.

The failure to disclose the original MS tracker deal is slightly concerning but personally when I use DDG and just clear everything each session anyway and for the most part use Firefox with extensions for anything needing logins.

No, that’s a misconception. See news story here.

Really? Anything in particular about ColorOS you disliked? I’m on my 3rd Oppo and don’t mind it but also not very picky.

Unsure why DDG isn’t mentioned but they work well for me across devices.
