You shouldn’t give out your real email address. I instead use randomly generated email addresses that forwards emails to my real one. I can easily deactivate any forwarding email address and therefore stop any unwanted emails.

It works really well and also has other benefits like for example knowing who sold your information if you start receiving spam.

You also gain a bit of privacy and security from being a tiny bit harder to track and your credentials being less valuable in the case that the company you gave the random address to has a data breach.

This video explains the concept very well.

You’re absolutely right. I’ve got a talent for procrastination though. I tried giving myself an excuse while formulating this answer, but I realised that just fixing it would be quicker. Hahaha. Thank you

PlayStation Network has a limit of around 30 characters but they let you pick something longer. They even send you an email confirming that your password has been updated. But if you try to login with your new password it won’t work.

I’ll probably forget this within the next time I have to change it. I will then AGAIN try with 128 characters and then 125, 120, 115… while yelling at the emails they send me.

No. Reddit thinks my patched version is a completely separate app. Reddit still allows third party apps to use their API for free as long as the usage is low. The limit is way too low for all the big third party apps but more than enough for just one person. Follow the guide to “create” your own app.

You can keep using RiF if you patch it with ReVanced. I used this method for another third party app.

I worked in one of the biggest telecom companies in Europe. This is most likely an order made through customer service. The telecom companies have known about this problem for a long time. They are trying balance security and ease of use for the customer.

If company A implements noticeably stricter requirements for identification to order stuff, the average customer gets annoyed and switches to company B.

Therefore the companies watch each other closely and implement stricter requirements slowly at about the same rate as their competitors.

Protip: You can contact customer service of most telecom companies and ask them to write down a password that you need to tell them before you can order a SIM or other stuff.

I don’t know a lot about Linus. What makes him a creep?

If you are willing to compromise I would recommend Betterfox as it breaks far fewer sites while still being better than the default Firefox profile.
