Starting to see a lot of worried people as Intel descends downwards rapidly. Reminds me of Nokia how this is going...

This is not to promote the product. I merely came across it and couldnt find any reviews except for those from Google Play. I use Android and as much as I hate iOS, their Email app is very consistent regardless if you use their .mac email or Gmail. On Android, it is very difficult to find an email app that is decent. I've been on Fairmail for quite a while until recently when I have sync problems.

So I dig around and found "EPRIVO - Encrypted email and chat". It was a surprise because I am constantly on the look for a good email app (and browser !) on Android. Usually, on Google Play, you will see: Gmail, Thunderbird, Proton, Outlook, Edison Fairmail...etc. I never see Eprivo before.

Anyway, I tested it out on a Gmail account. The app works quite well, here is what I learn:

1) You are forced to create a blanket Eprivo account. This takes like 10 seconds. Then this Eprivo account is then used to get you access to the email app. You can use any email account within it: Gmail, Yahoo. I use Gmail and it works well.

2) The privacy features are interesting. You can do a lot of stuff like prevent forwarding, set timer so email can only be read once, password protect...etc. Now I also used Proton in the past and these features are exclusive to a .proton account. In this app, I can do some of them such as setting the timer on an email. To get the full private features, you need to create a Eprivo email (very easy to create within the app). So, you will have something like abc@eprivovip.com.

3) Prices are surprisingly cheap: 5 bucks / year.

4) They advertise themselves as not an email service but to my understanding a "privatized email service". So it is like a private layer on top of your existing email.

Any thoughts?

WASHINGTON—Calling the ongoing violence in the region “disgusting” while pledging America’s unwavering support, President Trump announced Monday that the United States would be the first country to recognize the state of Mega-Israel.

“We recognize the right of Mega-Israel to exist as an ever-expanding sovereign nation,” said Trump, who added that he believed the West had turned a blind eye to Mega-Israel for too long, and that Mega-Israel had the right to defend whatever they claimed their borders to be.

“Today, I called Giga-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and I told him that the U.S. stands behind Mega-Israel, its Mega-land, and its Mega-army. As such, we will continue to provide them with military support as they face attacks from the Micro-Middle East.” At press time, Trump announced plans for the United States to officially back a one-Mega-Israel solution.

Hi NodeBB team,

I have NodeBB running locally on my machine:

NodeBB version: v3.12.7

Environment: Local development

Frontend: React (Vite) running on http://localhost:5173

Backend (NodeBB) running on http://localhost:4567

I’m trying to create a user via the API:

async function registerUser() {
  try {
    const res = await fetch(`${import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL}v3/users`, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": `Bearer ${import.meta.env.VITE_TOKEN}`
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(formData),
    });

    if (!res.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! Status: ${res.status}`);
    }

    const data = await res.json();
    console.log("User registered successfully:", data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error registering user:", error);
  }
}
