You might want to add an FTL drive to that list: it's a looooooong way away at sublight.

Nope. You can reach Antares only if you have the dimensional portal. I thought you know this old game[^].
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

The "Orion" series never really grabbed my attention - turn based strategy didn't do it for me.
And the Nineties had only one game for me: the almighty Doom!

I played with real guns at that time. Even today no game can really simulate the feeling of a rifle in your hand, a helmet on your head, sweat heat and sand between your teeth.

Yeah, but at least you didn't face a Cyberdemon with rocket launchers for hands with only 15% health, a chaingun, and only 50 bullets for company?

They should invent a cat that does not eat or need a litter.

ummm, there is such an invention for cats, it's called "outside."
my wished-for invention: pocket emf pulse generator.
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

Oh yes please, can you imagine the stunned looks as walk down the street with one of these turned on. A focused one would be even better, only the people in front of you lose their electronics.

I think it's a testament to the sweetness of cats that we love them regardless of their faults.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

At the end I got the privilege to buy and install the antivirus for the whole family ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif) [/irony]
I purchased a 10 devices licence of BitDefender Total Security.
I installed it in my PC to have a test period before installing the rest.
It looks nice.
A couple of annyoing popups until you find the right option in the settings but nothing that bad.
Not noticeable performance loss.
One could think that is a bit intrusive in some options. i.e. locate and block device (or wipe) which I am not sure yet if it is something I like or better get it off.
It offers a propietary and (supposedly) secure browser for online banking. Not really sure yet if good or not.
Secure file deletion, Encrypted containers, VPN...
I have installed the laptop today...
Number of installed devices: 1  
List "My Devices": MyLaptop
Where is "MyPC"?
I go to the FAQ:
Why are the devices getting replaced in the list of "My Devices"?
The most probably reason is that the devices are sharing a MAC, this happens when Software like "VMWare", "VirtualBox" or similars are installed.
Solution? Kind of obvious...  Deinstall VMWare, Re-Install Bitdefender, Re-Install VMWare
It looks like they only update the list, once during the installation.
To be honest, I would have expected a bit more from such a product. Like Checking for "VMWare" in the name of the adapter (usually "VMWare Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMNet8") and maybe ignoring that MAC when filling the list of the installed devices.
[EDIT]
I have deinstalled the VMWare software, reinstalled the antivirus and... nothing. It continues confusing both devices in one. I suppose this time is due to the ISATAPs tunnels (since they are the only common things now)
In addition... I had 143 messages:
"Codeproject has tried an SQL-Injection attack. We have blocked the connection to avoid, that the attacker gains access to sensitive data"
I thought SQL Injection attacks can only be dangerous for the webs. And not for a private user, navigating a web
I am starting to wonder if I did the right selection

No... I mean that the list of "installed devices" in the website is buggy if you have vmware.
I have two devices installed so far and the software only recognises 1 device. I don't know if there maybe is a side effect, like problems in updating or similars.
To be honest... if I was sure there are no side effects that affects local functionality, I would leave it this way. I am not that convinced with the "locate, lock and/or wipe" function in their web.
But if you do like such functionality, then you must do the de- and re-install. If not... no way to have it working properly.

Now the missing link to success is: Why would anyone download a browser which improves the tracking capabilities of third parties?
I get ads shown anyways, and I really will not help personalizing them by downloading a browser. And why would any publisher opt in on that when the browser is a major puzzle piece to make it work, and barely anyone is using it?
My guess is that tech-savy people, and those who care for that kind of thing, will not switch (or will switch to something else if their browser of choice opts in). And those who don't are using edge anyways.
I only have a signature in order to let @DalekDave follow my posts.

... of course, it was a scam 
(That was the title of an email I received this morning. The first sentence: "Everything on the internet is lie..." There was even a clickable link to 'get some tips' from! Anyone interested? I'm sure it is a one-time offer, only good for the next five hours.  )
