I like Techlore (https://www.techlore.tech if you don't know) and I usually regard them as one of the most impartial and most trustworthy Youtubers out there. But for the past few months, I couldn't help noticing their somewhat heavy bias towards some of their video sponsors. Still, everybody has to eat right?

This time though, it looks like Synology flew them over to Taiwan, and if you watch their video at the event, it's wall-to-wall Synology shilling. I'm really disappointed.

Don't buy all the ebooks. Unless you really want to. But the big 2 ebooks, extreme privacy 4th edition and Resources for Uncovering Online Information - 10th Edition (2023 are the best ones cause they cover a lot. But they are currently being updated and going to be re-released next year.

The smaller ebooks are for specific topics. Monthly updated forever. You may find these ebooks online. Very hard to find. I have linux devices, don't mind doing swaps for 'Leaks, Breaches, & Logs - Digital Edition (2024)' and or 'The Ultimate Virtual Machine - Digital Edition (2024)' if somebody has them. We can do a simplex chat. Well done on your journey op. It's a rabbit hole.
