“I also asked last year for an option to delete my payment method…”
The “delete” option is there .. at least for me. My Account -> Payment methods -> Delete.

My original posting was “fwiw”. Regardless of some detail-shortcomings in Proton’s summary (it’s a complex matter), I feel pretty good about going online via ProtonVPN while traveling (airports, hotels, etc.). Ditto @home.
The way I see it, there is no such thing as a secure connection, the bad guys are always a step ahead.
Postscript: As noted below, a VPN was never supposed to be a security solution. It’s a connectivity tool. It has never been sufficient to rely on a VPN alone for security, which requires defense in depth:

As a long-term user of ProtonVPN (from day #1), I contacted their support and they told me that they have conducted a thorough analysis of this threat, reconstructed it experimentally, and tested it on ProtonVPN.
In brief, their engineers concluded that:
1. The attack can only be carried out if the local network itself is compromised;
2. Our Windows and Android apps are protected against it;
3. For iOS and macOS apps, you are completely protected from this as long as you’re using a Kill Switch and a WireGuard-based protocol (our apps use them by default, and if a user wants to use something other than WireGuard derivates, they’d have to manually set it up).
Note that Stealth, WireGuard TCP and Smart protocol on iOS/macOS are all WireGuard-based;
4. For our Linux app, we’re working on a fix that would provide full protection against it.
For information! In case of questions, contact ProtonVPN as this is beyond my head!

Did you read the link provided? I want the feature (??) removed from Contacts as it takes too much vertical space. As the original Apple poster, I don’t want to scroll down to see details of each contact. I much prefer the designs found in 16.x.
The way I see it, the Contact Photo & Poster feature is geared towards non-business users and it should be optional.
PS: your link misses the point. That’s not what I’m looking for.

Works! I modified WindowsCopilot.admx per your posting (from “User” to “Both”) and it works. Double checked via RegEdit and the settings are all there. That said, if you don’t know what you are doing (with GP Edit) .. it’s better to download and use the .reg file.

The correct WindowsCopilot registry blocker link: https://www.askwoody.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/DisableWindowscopilot.reg
And, too, the Group Policy setting should be Enabled (not Disabled)

Many excellent ideas in this thread, but, I follow the maxim “As Much As Necessary, As Little As Possible” whenever feasible. Plus common sense and a little prudence.
On that basis, using uBlock Origin (Firefox and Edge) to block .mov and .zip domains has the advantage that I can decide to “Proceed”, should I trust the site in question. My thoughts…

Based on a Reddit thread I added this to my uBlock Origin “My Filters” list:
||mov^
||zip^Testing so far shows that it works:
uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading: http://test.mov/
uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading: http://test.zip/
