Techlore Tools and Affiliates webpage questions and improvements

• Updated links:

Proton mail non-affiliate link: Old link: https://protonmail.com/ New link: https://proton.me/mail

Shredder non-affiliate link: Old link: https://www.auroracorp.com/au1285md.html New link: https://auroradirectstore.com/aurora-au1285md-compact-desktop-style-high-security-12-sheet-micro-cut-paper-and-cd-credit-card-junk-mail-pullout-basket-shredder-white-black/

• Pages not found:

MEGA affiliate link: https://mega.io/privacycompany?aff=Ki7nvbOsh6Q MEGA still has a referral programme, if you are interested: https://mega.io/refer Otherwise, maybe remove MEGA from the Techlore Tools and Affiliates webpage.

Linksys Wi-Fi router: https://www.linksys.com/dual-band-ax3200-wifi-6-router/E8450.html

This router doesn't seem to be available in the current Linksys store, is it an old model? If yes, maybe the link should be changed to a more recent OpenWRT compatible Linksys router. https://store.linksys.com/shop/shop-home/whole-home-mesh-wifi/?start=0&sz=36

Sennheiser MKE 600 (Shotgun Mic): Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O1LSRBS?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=techlore06c-20&linkId=fa56fd200d984e5285d97eff4ee6313f&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

• Resource not available anymore:

LocalMonero (will shut down November 7th, 2024): Affiliate link: https://localmonero.co/nojs/?rc=zfot Non-affiliate link: https://localmonero.co/nojs/

• Insecure website:

When I visit the Fovitec website using the Fovitec Lightning non-affiliate link provided in the Techlore Affiliates page, my browser shows a warning saying that my connection isn't private. As such, I think this link should be removed. Insecure Fovitec link: https://www.fovitec.com/

Also, the Amazon link shows that the previously available Fovitec Lightning product isn't available anymore, so maybe it's better to remove the Fovitec mention altogether from the Techlore Tools and Affiliates webpage. Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3pEHdQF

• Lack of an affiliate link:

Why is Todoist mentioned in this list of tools if there isn't any affiliate link for it? Even if Todoist should stay in this list, why is there a box with "Affiliate🌟" written, if there isn't any affiliate link for Todoist? Is that box mandatory for all items of this list? Any explanation is welcome.

• Products out of stock:

Webcam covers for camera safety: Newegg link: https://howl.me/cj7bhJnBVnt Non-affiliate link: https://www.newegg.com/p/1EF-0161-000U8

Sennheiser MKE 600 (Shotgun Mic): Newegg link: https://www.newegg.com/p/0UK-001H-005P8?Description=Sennheiser+MKE+600&cm_re=Sennheiser_MKE+600-_-9SIAKZYJH67658-_-Product&nrtv_cid=cd2b5112545eeedfcac2ea88c20cc35d05de20d9ece326e61e3b59f846e64cf2&utm_source=howl-techlore6526&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=afc-howl-techlore6526&cm_mmc=afc-howl-_-6526-_-14005829088&nrtv_as_src=1

Google Pixel 7a: Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/p/23B-001E-004D6?Description=google+pixel&cm_re=google_pixel-_-23B-001E-004D6-_-Product&nrtv_cid=a634d347be119ab1f4e4f136eb5c27820e840a37d541372c718dd96e4dc81457&utm_source=howl-techlore6526&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=afc-howl-techlore6526&cm_mmc=afc-howl-_-6526-_-14005648069&nrtv_as_src=1

Maybe change the link to another Google Pixel that is still in stock in Newegg, like the Google Pixel 7 Pro.

• Orange hosting question:

The Orange hosting affiliate link redirects to this link, which doesn't look like an affiliate link: https://orangewebsite.com/hosting/offshore-hosting

Is this really an active affiliate link? If yes, nothing needs to be changed. If not, Orange hosting still has an affiliate programme, if the Techlore team is interested.

Orange hosting affiliate programme: https://orangewebsite.com/company/affiliate-program

Otherwise, maybe remove Orange hosting from the Techlore Affiliates and Tools.

• omg.lol question:

The omg.lol affiliate link redirects to the following link (the omg.lol homepage): https://home.omg.lol/

The omg.lol affiliate link provided by Techlore isn't an affiliate link anymore or is this expected behaviour? If this is expected behaviour, nothing needs to be changed. If this isn't an affiliate link anymore, maybe produce a new affiliate link and change the current one, or remove omg.lol from the Techlore Tools and Affiliates webpage.
