If I'm in the wrong place, my apologies.
Can anyone recommend a good VPN to me? My current one's yearly subscription is up next month and I'm interested in finding something else because I currently use Nord, replacing it for obvious reasons.
I am in the US, and I would need one that works with a 5 year old android phone, my desktop is busted to shit, so this is all I have. I have the Nord app so I can use it for as much as humanly possibly without having to fuss with it too often.
If it's a subscription based service, I would prefer to pay a yearly rate, and one that isn't too expensive, I have a tight budget. Privacy and data security is obviously a must, defeats the point of a VPN without that.
I am not the most tech savvy person in the world, but I'm not completely tech illiterate, if that matters.
Please bestow your wisdom upon me.
Thanks in advance, TechKiwis.

Mullvad is the VPN favorite of the farms

Their main suggested way of bringing games into their ecosystem is by submitting them to be “curated” aka downloaded and redistributed via their system. It seems like there must be a way to add files locally, but it may involve some dodgy stuff like editing databases directly. Hmm

Idk how to do that and God knows I won't have that ability.

What was the intended way to play it? Did the author expect you to host it on your own website or play it locally? Strange. Out of curiosity, what game are you trying to play?

I know I'm late but proton vpn is also pretty nice and very easy to use. Last I checked they had a 2 year plan for like $34
 
I'm looking to get something waterproof(ish) for taking a bunch of snapshots and videos at theme parks while leaving my phone put away and safe from water
glancing around it looks like the usual claim of battery life is about ninety minutes per pack, a few claiming two hours?
I'm gonna see what non-chinesium at costco claims while I'm out, maybe try best buy too and just boomer the fuck out "me want camera long run good power"

Why not just get a waterproof case?

If you're worried about dropping it get one with a lanyard point and strap it to your wrist

Just set your phone to unlock to camera mode on a double tap of the power button like anyone else under 75

Please explain to a retard how to play flash games in 2026.

You used to be able to download Adobe Flash Player as a standalone executable (for testing or some shit) for your PC and open any SWF files thru that. IDK if its still available but that's what I did a few years ago when i found an old hard drive with a bunch of Flash files in a folder.

I already got her to look at things dressed like Kim Jong Il for one of my desktops but it's not the same without that uncanny look theme park fixtures have if I do it at home

glancing it seems gopros run a little lean on the battery claims, 70 minutes from the one I looked at
also for the price of one go pro even if they run three hours I could get six chinesisums that run at least one hour and just swap them out as the juice goes lol

Why do you need a camera that can record six hours of video, sometimes underneath the water, at a water park?
