Refund incoming! The CEO stated they would refund people and is sticking true to this. Highly suggest people do the same and move away from an organisation owned by a POS
ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, Hotspot Shield, Betternet, Touch VPN I'd also probably avoid anything that often does 50-90% deals but that's just my perspective

If you could only keep FIVE apps on your phone, which ones would survive?
They keep having data breaches after data breaches. And keep exposing user data. There are many better (And cheaper) services available. You shouldn't use LastPass even if it was give to you for free. I can recommend some really good alternatives: Bitwarden : Open source | Top notch security | 20$/y

What is your verdict on DashLane as a password manager?
Definitely not worth it. It's way waaayyyy overpriced for a password manager. Considering Bitwarden and Proton pass are around 20$ with current discounts. And apple pass is free. Also the vpn they give you, hotspot shield, has one of the worst track records and privacy policies in the vpn space. The

Are VPN’s allowed on hypixel
VPNs can sometimes lower ping by taking a better route to the server, but it’s not guaranteed and it can also worsen it. I’d avoid free VPNs like Hotspot Shield anyway. When it’s free, you’re usually the product, and your data can be monetized. I’ve used Amnezia VPN and I had no issues with it for t

New laptop, what I should unistall?
Aight. That's good for regular windows 11. My personal list of stuff: Opera (why opera? Because it looks good, and it's better than GX, which is honestly just gamer slop) MSI afterburner (for monitoring temps) Steam (optional, I game on my laptop) Lenovo service bridge (DONT SKIP THIS ONE!)

Is hotspotshield trustworthy?
Hotspot Shield is a master at taking your money and a complete failure at delivering what you paid for. I maintained a paid Premium membership for years, only to be arbitrarily downgraded to Basic without any valid explanation whilst still having a year paid for. After numerous back-and-forths with
