It has already been said but the company is complying in the sense that it is providing a solution whereby you can delete your account. That said, where you are unable to follow that process, they should offer you the same ability via email. Each company does things slightly differently but I would hazard a guess that an email stating that you find it more reasonable for the action to be carried out via email, they would be likely to comply.

The reasons why companies put these in place is simply to avoid mass requests for deletion and, as stated, to also protect you.

While email spoofing has been mentioned, it is somewhat unlikely anyone would send a request for deletion after spoofing your email, yet, it is not impossible.

You may have to be persistent, could use services that support or even get some pointers from the ICO. Here is a really good link https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/your-right-to-get-your-data-deleted/

I wish you luck

A Synology NAS would be a good shout if you don't mind the self hosting and maintenance route. That said, I also have an Infomaniak kDrive setup for my cloud backup. With that I have my email, calendar, drive space and it even offers an office suite in the cloud.

It may not have all the bells and whistles you get with Microsoft Office but, for me, it certainly does the trick.

The first one is definately the best one in terms of the overall feel of the game and storyline. Both the 2nd and 3rd games are good and have elements of story continuation in them. On the 3rd one though, parts of the story did not keep me hooked and I did not feel invested in the character arch as much as the others. For me, great games, new and old, must have:

• A compelling storyline
• A believable or even relatable character arch
• Consistency throughout so the story flows

Graphics are not the most important thing in any way. I want to feel immersed.

Feel that went on a little tangent them but you get what I mean (hopefully).

I bought and finished the Mafia Trilogy a month ago. Forgot how good it was. I have since been playing Starfield so nothing else complete for a while I would think.

While I have loved the innovation of Sony over the years, this one is a little odd. If Sony had thought about this, they would have realised that most people these days already have a viable handheld device, a smartphone. Microsoft got that one right by making remote play work so well on most mobile devices with connection to a pad. I just feel Sony should have done the same.

That said, I get there are some benefits if you have a shared screen and cannot always get on your PS5 but is that worth the money? I am not too sure.

Still, this is the early days and Sony will likely have a bigger vision for it. I mean, being able to connect to any network and play games remotely would be a huge step.

A number of games over the years have had that. The only one I witnessed myself (and feel is was more the console release) was Halo. I attended a midnight launch and that was just crazy. I was also working for a retailer at the time of the original Modern Warfare launch which was pretty hectic. We had some people that had be queuing for nearly 7 hours.

Others have been the release of the Wii and the PlayStation 3 which I was also present for.

After the Xbox escapade, I vowed never to bother with those releases but just ended up working for a retailer where it was part of my job.

Hi, my bad on the 'family' reference. It is the 'teams' package that I use, I just use it for my family. Like I mentioned before though, it is far more cost effective than the kSuite, which is targeted at businesses.

As for the transferring for data, this is possible via a feature in kDrive. It is capable of transferring from a number of cloud storage services, including OneDrive. You can get more info on that here: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/support/faq/2406/import-external-data-to-kdrive

I still have my OneDrive at the moment but aim to close this down. I use my Synology to synchronise the data between kDrive, OneDrive and my Synology for data safety. (Yes, this is overkill) I will eventually remove OneDrive from that as I get a better home cloud setup in place.

I have been using Infomaniak services for a few years now. I have my email with them, several domains and use Kdrive almost exclusively these days. Talking about Kdrive specifically, it is fast and has all the typical features you would expect from these types of services. The cloud side with the office integration is really good too.

If anything, the only negative I can find at the moment is that the app does not offer a lite mode (download as you need) feature for Linux so you have to download everything. That said, it does offer a WebDav feature which integrates well.

As for the kSuite, I would say you only need that if you are using it for business. Otherwise the solo or family package would suffice. I have kSuite too and it has some additional features but nothing you would need as an individual.

Not quite. They are network linked through Tailscale but typically running through a Mullvad VPN exit node. The NextDNS is baked into Tailscale too.

This gives me access to my home devices (including self hosted services, etc.) from out and about on the secure Tailscale network and connect to the Internet through a Mullvad VPN connection but that is further supported by the NextDNS which ensure devices are blocked from ads, trackers, telemetry, etc.

I only chose this route because I want an easy way to manage my whole network of connected devices without having to do a setup on each one individually.

Don't get me wrong, there may be a better way but this has just worked well for me.

I have a stack in place built around Tailscale. I mean, this may not be the best route but, hey, it works for me.

So I have Tailscale running across my devices. Within Tailscale, I have enabled Mullvad Exit Nodes for some privacy control. Then I have overridden the default DNS setting with NextDNS.

Within NextDNS I have a standard profile with some ad and telemetry blocking which is typically for the family devices and then I have a disgustingly pimped up profile for my main devices with a hell of a lot blocked, including domains that I do not care for (facebook for example).

The pros are that I can control all connections easier, even when out of my home network. That said, it takes some setting up to ensure I don't bork connections. And, yes, I learnt that the hard way when I blocked all 'meta' tools across my whole network and the kids lost it!

I did the classic, jump in at the deep end approach, and ended up with some distro hoping for a while. I then settled on Fedora.

Why? It did everything I wanted to do and did it well. I found some distro so easy to setup but harder to maintain, some really slick but problematic with updates and apps. Fedora, for me, just worked.

All that said, there are various factors to consider, including your hardware configuration. Some distro just happen to work better on some hardware specs, especially when considering your graphics.

I have a similar usage to you, covering a little bit of everything including gaming and dev and, so far, everything continues to work. So much so, I am thinking of switching my gaming rig over to Fedora in the coming weeks.

Wow... so many choices. Skyrim is a great shout.

I remember hearing the Halo soundtrack for the first time was incredible so feel I have to go with that.
