Maybe. Probably. I think you have to make sure it's grounded

I'm going to assume that you posted this trying to price me wrong but you didn't check your sources and proved me right in the process

Price discrimination, known also by several other names, is a microeconomic pricing strategy whereby identical or largely similar goods or services are sold at different prices by the same provider to different buyers, based on which market segment they are perceived to be part of

The service for bothtiers is NOT the same. It is not discrimination

I hope he and Linus torvalds both announce successors. Like a sort of "if my product fails you, this person follows my steps

Steam is my favorite monopoly. They are not perfect, and probably not good either. but they are the best

That is not price discriminationprice discrimination would be you having to pay more than someone else for the same products or service. Imagine paying more than someone else for the same tickets, just because. Or maybe black people have to pay more. That is price discrimination

Of course you are right. Those problems apply to Evey provider. My point is not that proton sucks. My point is that the protocol sucks and it's not worth the hassle of switching providers. The "whatever you receive and keep is encrypted and no one can read it" is another one of those false of security kind of thing that make you relax and think you are safe, when in reality they could EASILY be copying your email somewhere else unencrypted when you send and receive. That means that you spent your time switching provider just for a "trust me bro"

Their drive service is worth it though

None. The problem is not the provider, it's the protocol. Proton has the problems listed before, but it is impossible for ANY provider not to have those. I'd keep using whatever you are using

AFAIK it should protect it. Maybe even from any electromagnetic activity. But once away, I struggle with electronics and electricity

Electrical work is one of the many important skills I lack. I am not sure if I could open the microwave, remove the motor, close it again, and guarantee that the cage still works

Right? I'm not a prepper, but I find it's a lof of fun to plan for this kind of thing. I never actually do, prepare anything, but I make mental notes. Right now the plan would be to get a Faraday cage, shove a microwave motor in there as AFAIK they can be great as generators, then a RPi, a tiny monitor and a downloaded copy of Wikipedia. I'd love to get some Lora devices so that I can give them to friends and family

As someone who has gone to proton and back. I do not recommend it. The service is mostly OK, their android apo never delivers notifications probably because of the lack of play services, and while every client is open source and is guaranteed to be e2ee to other proton accounts, there are two huge issues with this:

1. In my case, the people I email are all on google and Microsoft, so they will be reading my emails anyway
2. When you communicate with non proton users the emails exchange HAVE to be plain text. So the only thing keeping proton from seeing you emails is a huge "trust me bro" that you can't verify. There are no code or cryptographic guarantees.

No honey. I said "i fucking love pasta". This is not a new kink you have to learn about. Just a misunderstanding
