> "Also, they have (recently introduced) a sync option, in which fake files are visible in your file system, but no actual contents get put on the drive until you try to open them. "
I thought that was a first in the earliest of versions and was one of my favorite. At some point they removed it and made you choose which folders to sync. At which point I abandoned using it. So maybe they are reintroducing it or I am misremembering something.
I play a lot of pubg(player unknowns battlegrounds) and you can often hear the bullet whizzing past you before the initial shot of the gun/rifle/bullet. And you can often gauge how far away someone shot because of this.
- I've been using the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for however long its been since it replaced the 3000 or whatever predecessors. Probably close to 20 years now.
I use this same keyboard at work and at home.
- I keep a small stack of napkins(between 10 napkins to about 3/4" of napkin) under my left elbow. For some reason the elbow hitting the hard desk hurts, and having a stack of napkings is both useful to use napkins from (and occasionally replace to re-up the stack). It helps a lot on the left elbow.
- I use a Razer Deathadder mouse both at home and at work.
- I use a foot rest both at home and at work (they are quite a bit different, due to different desks/chairs).
- I use monitor arms at home and at work. Also I keep my monitor up higher than most people do. Most people keep them WAYYY to low(at minimum, enough for my keyboard and typing to be able to go under them). It really makes a big difference when you can look straight on most of the time.
- I primarily only use 2 monitors. I've had up to 3 and 4 at one point, but noticed slight neck strain. But 2 does well enough for me. I use 2x 27" 1440 resolution 144hz monitors at home. And 2x 27" 4k monitors at work.
- I am super picky about chairs. When I last replaced my home one, I sat in probably 150 different chairs in 10 different stores. Ended up ordered some high end chair($1000) and it didn't feel quite right. So I returned it and ordered another a different make/model(About $600) that works for me. Extra wide, proper butt cushion(no cross bar if pushed on hard) and works for my back and neck. I don't mention name/brands here, because everyone's body is different and you just need to find something that fit/works for both your body and price ranges.
- I am also super picky about the settings on the chair. Again, personal preference.
- Lastly, at home I have a large mousepad (approximately 20"x18") and at work, I have slightly larger.
I am on either my work or home desk/computer probably 14+ hours every day of the week. And haven't had any back, neck, or joint pains since about 20+ years ago, when I first started customizing setup, finding what worked, and switched to split keyboard and stuff.
If something even feels SLIGHTLY off. I make sure to change it, a lot of people can get used to things 'slightly off' but don't really quite notice how much it can wear on you after a long time.
Counter point. If this(free postage) is an easy and good proxy for detecting this type of scam. By doing this they might stop(doing free postage) . And then you and others lose their easy no effor detection?
Even here at hn. Look how many people never read the article and only the comments. I'd imagine the number of people to go down into a link from an article to be quite small unfortunately.
It's like asking why not get rid of military in favor of militia, Hired guns, And police forces?
Who had what authority. Funding. Jurisdiction and related. And plenty of other things.
