Looking at Proton Mail, anyone able to give some advice?

I'm finding that I'm more able to engage with videos if I play them at accelerated speeds. Often I'm up to 2x. For a lot of things on Youtube, this is fine, but I'm a bit edgy about watching TV or movies or actual film stuff this way, since I know timing is important in that...

Weird how every time the Trump admin is accused of criming, there's some issue where they flood the server room, or 'accidentally delete' Secret Service text messages, or 'have a system crash'.
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

Apologies for the intrusion, this was the listed contact on FA.
Are you perhaps still in contact with Atar LaFay? I came across some of his work that he wrote that he mentioned was inspired by work I did long ago.
Thank you for your consideration. :)

Nathan's armor gets complaints sometimes because of the bare arms and bracers. My headcanon is that as combat is not his primary job, the HELTAN he wears uses bracers and shin guards instead of full sleeves for portability and endurance.
