Proton also uses ch and com.

Yeeeah no. Those are again digital only with DRM, unless I read this wrong. Who would actually purchase these now after the debacle with Paramount+? Any of these sellers may revoke your access at any time.

Buy physical media or go sail the high seas, otherwise you cannot be sure you own anything.

This is a major problem in probably all high profile labs. The PI is super busy because he is such a top dog in his field, he has dozens of postdocs and phd students who are all lucky if they get to see him 10 minutes every few weeks. No supervision or control but all the academic pressure to produce something. And not just anything, but something great and interesting. Of course this can result in people doctoring (heh) results.

quite good at spotting simple techniques like omitting data or p-hacking

I don’t know about that. Spotting omitted data would only work if a key experiment is missing or if a reviewer suggests a control experiment that was actually done but not shown, or what do you mean?

And how to spot p-hacking? That would only work if you’d be able to see all underlying raw data. Otherwise especially in high impact journals the p-values are always excellent when they need to be.

Started using Drip a few months back, seems interesting as it bases next period time on the last ones.

Log28 just takes what you enter as period length to show when the next one starts.

Fair enough. Could still start watching and then stop if you really do not like it.

Can you elaborate what you mean? If someone lives in an oppressive country e.g. China, with many blocked sites or censured internet, I understand. But if you don’t live in such a country what would be a usecase apart from piracy?

A VPN literally does not change anything that comes through to you from the internet. I mean, thats the whole point, isn’t it? So, actually using a VPN you are “rawdogging” the internet, not the other way round.

Heh, weird. Thats some solid data you are bringing forward.

I used to live there and I actually did not know about those.
