    Email is quite a bit safer than people think, especially if you host your own. Typically it is encrypted from point to point, so if a company emails me it goes through their internal system to their gateway, is encrypted using SSL and transmitted directly to my server where it’s stored until I connect over an SSL encrypted link to download my mail

    Even an ISP will have almost everything encrypted as it really is the default now

    There’s practically no chance for a man in the middle attack

    I do accept unencrypted mail but nothing arrives on port 25 (unencrypted email) except scam attempts to get spam forwarded (which are denied)
















  • Yeah, it is harder to do. Specifically

    • you need to remove stickers in a way that you can replace them, if you want to keep them looking good
    • You need to undo glue, iFixit used isopropyl alcohol and force
    • Once you’re in its fairly easy to replace parts, but Nintendo don’t supply parts
    • Batteries are glued down, you need to destroy the foam beneath them to get the batteries out, Nintendo don’t sell replacement foam, or even a specification for the foam

    By being harder it will be more costly to repair
