  1. Every VPN will end up like PIA, it's only a question if we'll know about the stuff behind the scenes or not. That's a shame. I won't be using PIA EVER again because of this. Or Tunnel Bear.

  2. Nearly All publicly listed companies have pictures of their leadership, their corporate headquarters listed, publicly report financial information, etc. that doesn’t make them special.

  3. Who are the idiots who dislike the WAN show? Do you even have a life? It's such a niche thing, JUST DON'T WATCH IT if you don't care about it. WTF is wrong with people?

  4. I know Linus takes who his sponsors are really seriously, but it kinda feels like he was looking for any reason to keep them rather than what’s the safest course for people who take his sponsorships as an endorsement / direct recommendation.

  5. That PIA interview was really sketchy.
    Linus took a WAY different impression away from it than I did. “Things happen” is NOT an acceptable answer to “why was a guy who hid $450m in bitcoin being stolen brought into a leadership role”

  6. Stock Buybacks amount to companies defrauding both shareholders and their public / corporate duty. Worse, it amounts to tax evasion when a company low on revenues, pays big checks to corporate officers so they can evade normal tax obligations.

  7. I signed up for PIA a couple of months ago and couldn't be happier. What I appreciate the most (other than their no logging policy) has been their support for Linux. Their client is top notch.

  8. Kape is an Israeli company. The Israeli military industrial complex is just as bad or worse than the US and has it's fingers in literally EVERYTHING tech related that comes out of the nation. DO NOT trust the bs PIA corpo's are spouting. They are just trying to line their pockets as much as possible before heading out the door.

  9. Not being in control of your transportation and giving it up to a faceless corporation is just asking for trouble. Imagine if the government could decide one day "This group of troublemakers need to have their transportation rights revoked." Boom, like that those people can lose their jobs and ability to provide for themselves.

    Of course, it will boost quarterly profits in the short term, so of course it will happen. The loss of ownership is inevitable. I look forward to the day we have to rent the air we breath.

    Will update as I watch
    PIA section is long, when I’m done I have to go back and break it down

  11. Should be thankful that Microsoft isn't working on software for Tesla's Auto Drive feature.

    Don't want my car suddenly stopping in the middle of the highway and rebooting to install updates.

  12. 47:50 This is honestly why I am invest in Tesla. As an American and a person who has nearly no debt and no rental items. The Future to me is clear. Cars will not be owned. UBER is a perfect proof. SOO many people use it, you don't own the car you are riding in the driver does. If the car is autonomous then guess who owns it? The app or in Tesla's case the manufacturer of the vehicle. Like it or not Cars ARE going to be autonomous this is not for debate. Because Tesla is the clear head of the pack I am investing because In My Opinion when it does launch it will revolutionize the car industry and I think it is going to make them rich. Say what you will about Musk on debt and taxes, the dude is a giga genius.
