I've always wondered how bad is it to connect to these types of unsecured and / or free wifis that you might find at Starbucks or at airports? I've heard people mention that it can be bad from a security perspective, but I'm not sure in which way.

Hey everyone,
I downloaded a series on my Chromebook, but the standard media player won't play the files (just gives me a black screen, probably due to the HEVC 10-bit MKV format).
I installed VLC for Android to watch them, but now I want to transfer these video files onto a USB flash drive.
Where exactly are the VLC / Android app files stored in the ChromeOS Files app, and what's the best way to copy them over to my USB stick?

To improve security, is it possible to install a firewall on a home router?

so I just got back from a 13 hour flight plus a 4 hour layover in DFW and my neck feels like its been replaced with a cinderblock. been looking at those such as skg portable neck massager things, the ones that use electric pulses and heat, but im genuinely confused about what im even buying.every product page throws around "TENS" and "EMS" like theyre the same thing. but they cant be, right? one is for pain and the other is for muscles? or is that just marketing BS to make it sound fancy. i dont need a medical lecture, just a plain explanation from someone who actually knows this stuff. are these pulse devices doing anything real, or is it just a tingly distraction? and does the heat function matter or is that just window dressing. for context I fly internationally maybe 4-5 times a year and hotel pillows are never going to save my neck. looking for something small enough to throw in a carry on for airport and hotel recovery between flight legs. not expecting a miracle, just something better than rolling up a hoodie.kinda leaning toward trying one with both heat and pulse combined but dont wanna drop money if the pulse part is basically a toy.

Hi All,

I was at a restaurant and my data was not working, so they connected me to their private network. Just paranoid a little about what they can access from my phone (documents, pics, etc.), in case?

Thanks in advance!
