Excuse me - if I bought your product and paid for it, in what universe am I not investing into you, and instead you are investing into me??
HP is a steaming pile of shit.

Reputation is a perishable commodity. It is very hard to replenish it once gone.
Xwitter and Reddit understood it the hard way. Even if Unity goes back to exactly where they were before this ruckus - people will think twice before trusting them again.

Adblock: Google did not slow down and lag YouTube performance with ad blocker on - Neowin
ABP has that stinky practice of marking ads as "acceptable" (basically those companies pay ABP to be on their "allowlist").
As has already been mentioned - stop using ABP, and use uBO instead. It's a lifesaver.

How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose?
Reply in thread
It depends on the booger itself. If it's a dry one, I just pinch it into a ball and flick it across the room. If it's one of those wet, sticky, semi-solid ones, I rub it between my thumb and index finger until most of the moisture is removed and the booger is determined to be flickable without being a little bastard and just sticking to one of my nails.

However, I would probably trust a provider more if there has been an actual case where police tried getting the logs and the VPN provider gave them nothing
That literally is what happened with Mullvad.

Why is it legal to buy and sell used books/discs but illegal to buy and sell used digital files?
Logically yes, downloading or a sharing a digital file is a "lost sale" - but as Aaron Swartz said - "lost sales" are also caused by Earthquakes, Libraries/DVD Rentals, Negative Yelp reviews, Market Competitors, and so on. Why just blame it on file sharing...
