I don't use them either. The internet and web in their computer based origins were and still are the best. All the "conveniences" added since are suspect. It's why I dont want anything to do with smartphones, but fortunately their hopelessly inadequate coverage doesn't allow me to use one anyway in my home in my London borough.

When I had a problem with my inverter, the installed logged in and sorted it for me! He has his own password to login to all the inverters he installs. The only airgap was between his office and my house. The manufacturer will have their own login too.
Is your Inverter connected to the Internet? If it is, then there should be somewhere in the management screen where you can allow or block web access aka external management login.
You made a similar statement a month ago (April 15 post# 9128, where you said you were going to sell off your stock). Since then the S&P 500 has risen 12.79%, equivalent to 153.5% pa. Shall I bookmark this and revisit in another month? Did you really lose all that money due to your TDS?
All the US indexes dropped when Trump releases chaos then rose again when Trump pulls back. I bought a fair bit on NASDAQ because I like tech stocks. Until end of Feb, everything was fine. Then Trump has 'liberation day' . NASDAQ tanked from 20,000 to 15,000 (08-Apr), now back to 19,000. If you like risk, you'd like Trump because you can tag along and play the market.
I've bookmarked this post, like I did in post #9130. See you in a month.
I didn’t lose but neither won anything substantial. I was tempted to play along though. Trump has permanent immunity, he doesn't hide anything. Tempted by Barrick though.

Why do you fear public VPNs? And why so much?
Probably the architecture, too many steel beams? And if you do buy a smartphone for dumb people (anything called "Smart" is for dumb people), you end up on the upgrade before obsolescence brickage treadmill, forced to trade or sell before it's out of date. A perfectly adequate Motorola phone I bought years ago is now pretty much a sieve as far as internet security is concerned, can't connect to the modern websites... relegated to the sole duty of operating my Line 6 Amplifii TT guitar effects gizmo wonder box of highy disturbing noises, because it's the only device I own that's old enough to run the (removed from Google Play Store) app - it's the final product I will ever own which requires an app to function fully.
I have a system that relies on family secrets. I leave a secret letter at a secret location in case something happens to me like trump's secret service agents knocking on my door. You need to solve the clues in the letter to gain my secret URL and credentials. Once you open my digital vault, you'll get my digital wallet.

The number of characters in your password makes very little difference. I used to do a bit of hacking before I got interested in electric bikes. What counts is the quality of the characters, not the quantity. As an example, Windows passwords are often split into two and each half is encrypted, then the two joined together into a single hash of a fixed character length, regardless of how many characters there are in the password. A brute force attack can decrypt a Windows passwords in about 2 minutes if it only has letters in it. That would be a combination and permutation of 26 characters. For each special character added, the time to decrypt goes up exponentially, so for all the characters on the keyboard, it would take years to crack using a brute force attack. I found that basic dictionary and name dictionaries would give most passwors. They take about a minute to get the answer.
I already got it. That's how I got the money to buy those two kits from you.
