  I'll admit I gave up with that idea and just use OpenDNS... but then again i work there and have the android client already... (iOS is already public)

  Anyone thinking of playing Metro Exodus don't bother. They introduced a bug where you lose all your upgrades + weapons on zoning (when released new DLC). Plenty of reports to 4A but nothing from them at all, not even a notice. It totally breaks the game, so no point (and def no point buying DLC)

  I actually have a NAS (well 2, one Synology, one running MediaVault with docker images as well for fun) but I also cloudback up.

  For photo's they are backed up directly to Synology AND Crashplan (at the same time), then sync'd from Synology to Amazon Photos.

  For my documents sync'd to Crashplan only.

  Anything going to crashplan is encrypted locally. Honestly, I've had to restore from CP before and while it's a little pricey now at $10 a month, having UNLIMITED versions is very VERY useful.

  Don't fall for cheaper backups, which after a period of time will hard delete anything you've deleted. So not really backups but more of a sync (and yes that's people like Carbonite etc...)

  that's a fantastic deal! I've never tried the bronze's ... didn't even know the fox's came with them. It's 100% my fav keyboard

  Code 87-Key (aka TKL/80%) MX Clear with MATT3O /DEV/TTY MT3 keycaps (currently) is my home keyboard. I game so needed a dedicated Fx row... otherwise I'd probably just have another of the below

  Kono Nightfox is my work keyboard ( https://kono.store/products/nightfox-mec­hanical-keyboard ) with Halo Trues. I kept the caps stock on this as I really like them.

  I also have a RC930-108 RGB ELECTRO CAPACITIVE KEYBOARD as a spare that I used for ages before the code 10.

  that's the bit that makes me always laugh.... keys being more expensive than the actual keyboards.

  I'm guilty of it too having a few sets at ~200+

• What time is it? Watches and horology

  I find the Rolex thing still amusing.... at Geneva airport today, saw lots of people walk in, see only gold, then immediately leave. I'd say 70% of the display cases were empty.

  oh wow that's a great selection. I'm looking for the bronze/grey one, hopefully the store at Geneva airport has some. (And maybe a rolex or two)

  I've put a lot of time into Victor Vron ... but it's pretty Diablo like. Just got fire emblem: Three Houses ... also I have played a lot of the Steamworld Dig / Heist games.

  I mostly use my switch on planes though, everything else I play on PC
