When a CEO calls people "losers" for caring about security, and when the CEO considers it a failure that they don't have hockey stick growth, to me that's absolutely a reason to consider changing for most people using Proton. If someone doesn't care about employees raising security concerns, or a company chasing profits at all cost, then why are they using Proton in the first place?
If all that is true it is a concern. I'm not going to make any changes until I see some validation. Validation from other media, or seeing a decline in quality of product.
This to me doesn't solve the actual problem. I don't care if engineers at Proton use AI, and I don't care if management makes it a requirement to work there. What I care about is using it as a way to instill fear. Combined with the CEO constantly blowing up on Slack insulting employees, it cultivates a culture of "yes-men" which is not good for a security and privacy minded product.
For comparison, Kagi charges $12 per 1000 searches (only talking about their API pricing, like what you’d use with an LLM; their $10/mo plan has unlimited searches but it’s a TOS violation to use those credentials with an LLM).
Thanks for sharing, wasn't aware of this provider. If anyone is wondering about rate limits for the subscription:
>We calculate search rates based on the timestamps of the last searches of a user (just the timestamps, not the queries or anything else!). We keep those timestamps for 12 hours, then discard them. We currently limit searches to 5 per 5 seconds, 15 per minute, and 120 per hour.
In other words, good enough for casual use if you were already going to subscribe. Assuming the rate limits are okay, Uruky’s €5/month becomes cheaper at these search volumes:
One thing I see on the new gen of ai search bots are they fake chrome and rarely disclose themselves in UA, and not respect robots.txt, and no rate control for smaller sites.
I’m not accusing any one engine discussed in this thread, but hearing a proxy vender like decodo providing search give me a feeling there’s non zero over lap to bad search and residential proxy crawler.
Real human hit once with disguised ua is fine, but I’ve seem a few million clearly batch crawl request within a few minutes hitting my potato server from thousands of IP addresses, and they do it every four weeks almost at same hours. cloudflare doesn’t help much if at all, I can do proof of work but it creates problems for real human, I can rewrite in rust with some sophisticated cache but i don’t want to.
Anyway I’m not expecting a solution. Just say this sux.
I feel the same way. I like Orion, and I use it on some of my devices. But if I could choose I’d rather the company focus on Kagi development. There are a good number of bugs and feature requests that have been “planned” for months/years that I would be very happy to finally get fixed.
TFA says the mobile app works (so presumably the backend accepts long passwords fine). Looks like it's just a frontend issue. I wonder if deleting the maxlength attribute before submitting the form works fine?
Mac Minis used to have soldered on SSDs, but the 2024 model is upgradable. A lot of people purchased a cheaper Mac Mini and upgraded the storage themselves. Most people would argue this is a good thing, even if some of those Mac Minis were resold. This is no different.

Replacing a socketed component that is modular by design, even if it's not officially intended to be upgraded outside the factory, is worlds different from replacing BGA components on a densely packed PCB.
That said, there could also be a middle ground by just providing some way to look up the hardware specs of a given serial number. Post the part numbers of the components that you're concerned about being replaced and provide tools to verify as many of them through software as is practical. Allow owners to know if their device has been modified and how so, but allow them to choose what to do with that information.
Combating fraudsters trying to pass off modified and/or refurbished devices as genuine is valid, but preventing owners from modifying or repairing their own or knowingly purchasing such devices from honest resellers is not.
This is very different. The Raspberry Pi 5 RAM upgrades are arbitrage, involving soldering on dodgy RAM, at the expense of the unsuspecting retail buyer vs. people upgrading their own Mac Minis for themselves and without any soldering.
It absolutely is different. You just said the Mac Mini is upgradable but the Pi is still soldered on. Desoldering and soldering a new RAM unit carries huge risks no matter how skilled people claim they are at it.
> It absolutely is different. You just said the Mac Mini is upgradable but the Pi is still soldered on.
I'm sorry, you seem to be confused. Soldering is not the problem. Locking up the hardware to have hardware provisioned tier limits to block you from upgrading your own hardware is silly.
And do note, raspberry pi doesn't prevent you from switching RAM chips. The board will continue to work just the same with high capacity variants. But for some reason raspberry pi hardcodes a max memory size that prevents you from using the hardware upgrade you paid for in full.
