The amount of dealership license plate frames I see on cars blows my mind. I could see someone not wanting to put forth the effort in properly removing the decals, for fear of damaging their pant job, but the plate frame is a no-brainer.

    Live action sounds like a cool idea but all I can imagine is the talking cat from Sabrina The Teenage witch. Like I’m sure they could do a better job with today’s tech, and maybe they’ll surprise us, but a talking live-action/realistic cgi cat seems hard to do well and not feel strange.

    It’s also going to be hard having to hear a Carl (and everyone) that’s not Jeff Hays’ version (audiobook narrator) 😂

    Idk about the ports because I’m too dumb to understand or use them. There is a selection for a Preferred port and “add custom port” in the setting so maybe?

    Download speeds are good. Don’t know if there’s a speed cap, but the highest I’ve gotten is ~32 MB/s (not Mb/s) which is plenty fast for my needs. Im thinking that’s my ISP cap, since I usually max out around the same on Steam downloads when off VPN.

    For me the best part is you just need a CC number to sign up. It’s been a while, so this could be wrong, but I don’t think they even ask for a name or billing address. But I also use a digital card from privacy.com and make up fake names and billing information when I don’t feel it’s necessary to use them at XYZ website.

    You get a randomly generated ID# from iVPN and that’s your login, so no password to forget either. I also like their client which has a lot of option (90% of which I don’t use or understand well enough).

    IVPN is awesome. I think they also upped the number of devices from 2 to 5. A year+ ago I remember trying to sign in with my acct on a 3rd PC and it wouldn’t let me, but now it says 5 on the website and it works 🤷🏻‍♂️

    My dream is for my kid to learn enough about electronics to be able to open up his TV, identify any microphones, and be able to disable them. Then he might have a chance of privacy when he’s an adult.

    Brings me back to middle school where our Shop (machines/wood) teacher had these installed on the like 2 class computers.

    IIRC I think this is the game where you can dig (?) or maybe scroll down towards the bottom left corner and there was some kind of secret buried at the bottom of the map. It’s all a bit fuzzy now.
