I want to get into using proton more but one thing that is rubbing me the wrong way is that I don’t want to use my main email for anything because it is the same email used to log in.

So then I look at using hide-my-aliases for everything but the issue is I can’t send emails from them.

Then I look at the aliases on the paid plan, and apparently any one of them can be used to log in? So now you have 11 different addresses that can be used to get into your account.

I was thinking about using a free account as I slowly migrated and became comfortable and eventually subscribing if my usage becomes advanced enough to warrant needing the extra features or just throwing the odd subscription j

I read somewhere that a free account is deleted after 1 year of inactivity, but I also read that if the account was a paid account at any point then this does not happen.

How does account deletion due to inactivity work? What happens if someone ends up in a situation where they can’t access their account for a year?

I know proton wants to delete emails of free accounts to avoid bloat and unnecessary maintenance but why does the account itself get deleted? I read the same address cannot be reused so why can’t the account itself just stay since people might use it to create accounts on many other services like their bank account or whatever else?

Is there an option to pay for permanently

Hello,

I was wondering about Honda Civic’s transmission type. I read they started using CVT in 2014. They are 2 belts that adjust their lengths and apparently it offers better mileage because it has finer control over the “gear”.

I read that the CVT has improved over the years so there might be variability between models, so let’s compare a Honda civic 2013 and a 2015.

How long would the 2 transmissions last?

What about price comparison for repairing the transmission?

What about part availability? Since Honda civic has been using CVT for the past 10 years, do gear transmission parts to repair a 2013 still exist?

I read CVT can last “up to 5-6 years or around 100k-150k miles”. Doe

Newer vehicles have all these things that spy on you and after 2026 they may have mics and cameras and kill switches and breathalyzers and who knows what.

So I was wondering, is it possible to get a 2005 Honda and replace its engine and all other parts that need replacement so it is “new” and ready to run for another 30 years?

Are parts for such old vehicles still provided by manufacturers? Somewhere else?

Is doing such a thing mechanically and logistically feasible?

How much would doing such a thing cost in total for parts and labor? Replacing engines, transmission, whatever else? Basically rebuilding the car.

Is it cheaper to buy a newer car and just strip out all the junk? Is it poss

Hello, I’m ditching windows because I’m tired of its spying and AI Recall and all that other bs. I’m looking for a distro that has the following qualities:

• Has a decent desktop where i can have files, folders, shortcuts, etc. Can search files and apps. Can change settings like display or whatever, all the basic general settings one would expect.
• Is not proprietary or managed by some corporation that may shove weird stuff onto it or make it unusable or dependent on stuff one may not like, or harvests your data or violates your privacy in any way.
• Good and reasonably up to date and well maintained and good for all the general uses people may use a windows computer for (gaming, browsin

Does anybody know of car brands and years that do not:

• Harvest your location and driving
• Record audio of you
• Record video of you
• Use connected infrastructure type stuff
• Have excessive technology like keyless entry and biometrics and other privacy/security risks

Does a honda 2021 without keyless meet the criteria above for example?

Also if there are no such cars that aren’t too old, is there a way to kill those features by unplugging something from the car like a wire or sim card or attaching/removing a device?

If I can’t find these answers on this sub, is there another you recommend?

Thank you.

Also I am filling out a W4 for a job. Do I have to put the tax break from above in the W4 or do I do this stuff when I file taxes in February?

I found something about a form 8917 relating to tuition and fees but on the irs website that form seems to be down.

The expenses I mentioned are in 2019

Thank you. Help is appreciated.

What the title says. Thank you for your help.
