I use one of the "new" gtld domains for email. It works and I pay for a provider to do all the heavy lifting like your case, but you would have to configure DMARC, DKIM and SPF for your own domain. The big problem isn't the technical part. It's the clueless people who can't imagine anyone not having a gmail address (the "why can't you just have a normal gmail like everyone else" crowd). Some retail and government sites also flat out refuse email addresses that don't end in traditional tlds (.com, .net, etc) or the country-specific tld. In the end, I ended up creating a gmail address for those morons which redirects to my inbox after months of struggling.

Adding to that, I actually started appreciating a pair of good quality socks.

Recycled parts? That's simply being too dumb to be alive on this world. And I thought putting a wireless xbox controller for navigating the damn sub was dumb enough.

Same happened with people using the Cloud To Butt extension which replaced every 'cloud' with 'butt' even for codes. Hilarity ensued.

I have been doing precisely that. You have your personal number and the secondary number that doesn't have to be attached to your name if you want. Ofc law enforcement and telecom companies will be able to trace you based on cell tower locations and phone model.

Pro: An extra disposable number to give out whenever people ask you for "we need your phone number for ShittyDiscount". Whenever the spam calls get annoying I simply pop it out and place another prepaid sim.

Con: Phones with dual sim support can be rarer to find and be more expensive depending on your country.

Unless it's all local I'm staying out of this AI craze.

I'd love standarized modules to unscrew and separate the "smart" part just like a desktop pc can. If they want to shove in that shit, then at least make me able to pull them out.

Definitely an issue. I can't count the times I've slammed my head because the stupid settings screen "conveniently" switches from the previous item to another while I still expected it to open a new window just like the command panel.

It's still unbelievable considering Twitter had made its way into other languages' lexicon other than English. In Spanish, for example, the word "tuit" had been added officially in the dictionary. It had no competitors in brand awareness and all it took was a manchild with money to burn to take it all down.

That will make people cling to their VPN accounts even more, not less.

My country's second hand market sucks donkey balls. Import fees are crazy if you even dare to use Amazon instead of cheap Chinese shop. I just wanna scream.
