I'd mostly not care. I've got one account in that shite-hole, because work has sold its soul and NSA reads all our email, after GCHQ are done with it, so if need be, I can communicate in that bubble, and with the people on the outside following standards.

Email was never secure as such in any way, shape or form. I wouldn't use it for anything the NSA or GCHQ may care about. In fact in the finance sector it is 100% forbidden to use it as a primary comms channel for anything customer-centric. Thus they can waste all that money getting a court order to look at a million Jenkins spams a year and invitations to shitty conferences...

So, it is easy to dismiss the risks of email with "we all knew it's insecure so why bother" but we still use it, and those patterns of usage are very telling, especially so if there is a complete coverage. That in and of itself is a risk, even with clean and/or encrypted email. (PGP is good enough if done right (which is hard, for real), according to Snowden, for instance.)

And we've not even begun discussing commercial usage of email data. (Hey, Google!)

That’s not much of a risk for the average person. And other persons use side channels. In fact most communications is via side channels. Thus the corpus is mostly useless. The key use for email today for perhaps 90% of users is really notification.

Edit: I have just scanned my mailbox and the last 54 messages were notifications…

Why does he flash a picture of someone's head (Game of Thrones Character I think) over his own face at around 1:55 ?

Google "one does not simply". And, it's Boromir, from LoTR, not GoT.

Oh, you're right, Lord of the Rings.

Think I need to find manual to progress this further, radiomuseum have the circuit diagram but it will take two months to download the set as I'm not a member and don't want to join.

KO4BB offers the service manual for the 5245L for download

Sorry, you are searching for the Philips SM...

Anything not on the list I just zip it and upload so things like STL's CAD models and before we could Libre Office format stuff.

And for those not allowed just add .txt to bluff the forum and add a note in the post to remove the .txt
Simple and it works.
