If you know someone who likes to play video games, chances are the PS5 was at the top of their Christmas list. But, it seems like very few people were actually able to get their hands on it.

A note from my sponsor
You're giving away all your data for that free email account
I don’t trust Big Tech and you shouldn’t, either. You’ve heard me say for years that free email services like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t really free. There’s a big price to pay — your privacy. These free email sites scan, analyze and save details of every email you send and receive, giving Big Tech a very intimate and detailed profile of you so they can easily sell your data to the highest bidder.
That’s why I use StartMail. With StartMail, I can send encrypted emails with one click, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption. And StartMail never scans or analyzes your emails. Best of all, when you delete an email, it’s gone — forever.
Don’t trust Big Tech with your data and privacy.
