What's the fix?

Why did you dislike eM Client?

I've been looking at it recently because I'm currently using Mailbird. In recent weeks they told us that support for their current client will stop in 12 months time and we need to get on their latest client, which they want a one off payment AND an annual subscription. What greedy ducks.

Thunderbird has also hired an iOS app developer.

I work in automation. We've had a few customers who wanted to keep employing people from their local area; trying to help the community and all that. Each of these customers had gotten back to us after some time because 'F these people. They act like they don't want to work and are a pain in the ass'. Long story short, we automated their jobs and they were given their final paycheck.

I can only assume these people who are double dipping are doing the bare minimum for each job, otherwise how can they do two jobs in the same time period. I wouldn't be surprised if one day their employers get tired of their antics and removed their jobs.

So if they're paying you for your work, I assume you can come and go as you please then. No need to be at work during specific hours of the day.

I've always worked for small companies where I'm working directly with the owner of the business most days. I don't need KPIs because the owner can see my performance on a daily basis.

The company is paying you for your time, therefore that time is theirs. If you have two companies paying for the same 40 hours, whose time is it and which gets priority when there is an urgent matter? You're stealing the time resource that they're paying for if you're double dipping. It's greedy and unethical.

If you want to be paid for your production capacity, go independent and pick up jobs where they pay you on job completion.

How many websites/services don't support such lengthy passwords these days?

This is what got me using a password manager. I didn't want to trust a password manager because it felt like they would be highly targeted and one vulnerability would reveal everything. And let's be honest they still are the same.

So I had my own scheme for generating passwords. I made myself a script that I could use on my phone and PC. It worked beautifully and effortlessly until occasionally a service would force me to choose a new password. When this started happening I made a new scheme for generating passwords and made a new script. When it first happened it was still reasonably easy because there was only one service I had to use the alternative. It started to become more difficult the more services asked for a new password.

I used my own system for several years until I had enough with trying to remember which services used the alternative scheme and wondered when I'd have to make a third scheme. And if I did then the mental complexity would significantly increase.

Interestingly only a couple of services publicly announced they had been hacked and none of my passwords have ever appeared on haveibeenpwned. So I wonder why these services asked for a new password and if they had been attacked why they chose not to announce it.

I don't trust Windows Defender at all. I use BitchDefender all of the time. I tried Windows Defender for a year and it didn't fill me with confidence.

I also upload to virus total anything from an unknown source. I tried to use Intezer as well but I had many problems with my account that I have up on them. For some reason their server didn't like my account. A brand new account got closed the following day for being inactive for too long. A week later I can reset the password but I can't log in.

Looks like it's only available on Chrome based browsers, oh well.

I want my life to be 69% better. Did you follow a good guide? Do you recall which guide it was?
