Onomatopoeia

Some Americans.

Stupidity knows no boundaries.

This guy is as dumb as they come

Knowing how to sift through the results, and read the good answers for key elements, is a skill. One that you improve with experience.

Oh, man, finding registry info was like the Search for the Holy Grail (Monty Python style).

At one time I worked for MS, and was fortunate to stumble on some good tools for it (like an OLE browser, which is originally what the registry was designed for-it was actually called the OLE Registration Database on Win 3.1), and I acquired every resource kit I could find, and pored over them.

Sounds like you're describing Agile Project Management to some degree (breaking marathons into sprints, accepting that change of direction/focus happens).

Good thinking - one never wants to fight their base nature, it's a losing proposition. Instead, understanding it so it can be utilized, managed, directed is a much more effective approach.

Agreed.

I was glad when they dropped saving stuff from other sites in your list.

Didn't they have this years ago, then drop it?

Yep.

Rather than try to single-handedly re-engineer an old protocol to be secure, I just use it for stuff where security isn't a big deal. Including messages with links to secure resources (and send credentials via a separate system).

The second one did too...

I don't see how you wouldn't have your email on an email providers servers - that's how email works. You send an email via a provider, they forward it to the destination address you've included with the email.

That destination address is another email provider's server, which holds it until the receiver connects and downloads it. Email is a store-and-forward system, designed at a time when users weren't always connected. It still works this way.

Email is old, so the fundamental mechanics are pretty simple, and encryption wasn't an option at the time - so it's sent in the clear. Otherwise it would require both sender and receiver (either at both ends, or the servers) to agree on an encryption to use.

Mailbox.org.

It's worth paying for a service rather than trust an org that's been less than direct with us.

(Mailbox has a free tier that's limited).

Mozilla needs to fix their poor image before trying email.

Frankly, after the last few years I don't trust them with a browser, let alone email.

Not happening. I already pay for an email service that has been privacy centric from the start, and has none of the bad news Mozilla does.

Mozilla has flat out lied to us about changes in Firefox with "No, you just misunderstood what we're doing" . Why should anyone trust them with email?

Pound sand Mozilla.

Haha, nicely done. I had to work harder and harder to read it.
