It's worth noting that Facebook regularly collects information and builds profiles about people who are not users (or are users who but aren't logged in). The average user would be surprised what a company like Facebook can put together on individuals who have never made an account.

Renaming it to "winword.exe" was my go-to.

The show runners of Discovery have talked about wanting to create a feeling that no one, not even series regulars, were safe. They referenced Game of Thrones in that discussion, but Yar is a great example and probably would have gotten a little more love from the community.

We've got an elevator at work that is... less than reliable. To reset the elevator is a giant breaker BUT sometimes it's not the mechanics in the elevator but the control board. To reset that board is just a GFI. Also the lights in the elevator are a different light switch in the same closet.

I did this at my house too. I've also got a card for turning off the the TV and the lights when the kids are done in that room.

May I interest you in Gadgetbridge, when you buy your next wearable ? It's a local only sync application that does not rely on outside servers.

I've done my fair share of distro hopping. Mint is the distribution that I have to do the least amount of configuring starting from a clean install.
