  • i own a domain, and have a catchall account which forwards to a single address.

    any time i sign up for a service, i use their business name as the prefix.

    for example : i decide to go shop at a store called Mold Gravy, and the clerk tells me i can save 15% on today’s purchase by giving them my email address. i tell them it’s moldgravy@mydomain.com.

    this keeps my actual main email account from getting polluted, and also if i notice an increase in spam, i can see which company either sold my fake email address, or were compromised, and the i can simply block it.

    it costs $10/yr for a domain name, and another $5/month for hosting. well worth it.






  • Canada has pretty decent protections in place for consumers, and meat has to hit the Grade Requirements for imported meat products.

    additionally - employees at meat packing plants in the U.S. enjoy when they are processing meat for sale to Canada, because the processing lines slow down significantly, (meaning they don’t have to work at as much of a frantic pace), to meet Canadian standards.

    i believe you’re on to something, with the thought that removing it wasn’t unintentional…

    i am willing to bet it was deliberate, but as a way to catch more users who refuse to upgrade from Win10 BECAUSE of Copilot. once they get more users to adopt, they simply put it back in, in one of their updates
