![]() The heel of the footboard was raising off the floor slightly during a stroke and the uprights would flex just very slightly back and away from the drum. I likened it to a bicycle with a frame that is not rigid enough, so energy is wasted everytime the frame flexes. He is a very cool guy who appreciates feeback and we emailed back and forth for a while on this. During our conversations I suggested that maybe he make the baseplate out of spring steel. He said he had considered that but was worried about how the baseplate might flex if players tilted their bass drum too much, thought the resulting tension was too big a problem, and elected to use a more malleable steel to avoid this problem (I also suggested he run a couple of beads down the edges of the baseplate to make it more rigid. This he did, and that's why Vector pedals have a beaded baseplate now). It was also at this point that I suggested to him a different type of clamp than the type usually found on a bass drum pedal. Instead of using the baseplate for the bottom of the clamp, how about using an aligator clip type clamp mounted on a pin/axle, the pin also passing through the hinge of the aligator clip. Then you could tilt the drum and the clamp could rotate on the pin to accommodate any angle the hoop might be sitting at. In the case of CyberGhost VPN, this research revealed some very interesting issues, which is where we will start… Who owns CyberGhost? Kape Technologies (formerly Crossrider) I've never seen a pedal with that type of clamp, but maybe they exist out the somewhere.After covering the pros and cons, we will examine some frequently-asked questions (FAQs) and discuss a few CyberGhost alternatives.Īs with all VPN reviews on Restore Privacy, I begin by thoroughly researching the parent company and the history of the VPN service. Officially, CyberGhost operates under the company CyberGhost S.A. That being said, there’s an interesting history with the ownership of the company and outside investors.ĬyberGhost was previously owned by Robert Knapp – a German tech entrepreneur – and based/operated out of Romania. However, that all changed when Knapp sold CyberGhost VPN to outside investors. ![]() In 2017, CyberGhost was acquired by an Israeli company called Crossrider for €9.2 million.Ĭrossrider changed its name to “Kape Technologies” in 2018 in a move to signal a shift to the privacy and security industry. Then in October 2018, Kape purchased Zenmate, a German VPN provider, for an undisclosed amount. ![]() Later, in December 2019, Kape acquired Private Internet Access. Most recently, Kape bought ExpressVPN for nearly $1 billion, as well as a collection of VPN review websites. That’s why everything that happens next comes as a complete shock to him.Now here’s where things get interesting… Crossrider, CyberGhost, and malware This lines up with the trend we’ve observed where VPNs get bought up by outside investors. There’s nothing Louis could do, even if he thought Harry might want him to. He might currently be in the same country as Harry, but being on opposite sides of it puts enough distance between them that putting it in the back of his mind is easy. So Louis goes on with his life, figuring that if Harry was seriously hurt he would have heard about it by now. ![]() ![]() Louis has a whole life outside of One Direction now, though. It’s not that it’s easy to forget about, exactly. The sting of the text going unanswered is still there, less painful than it might have been a few years ago. They haven’t spoken for months, and it’s been a lot longer than that since they’ve had a real conversation. Harry doesn’t answer Louis’ text asking if he’s alright, but that’s not really surprising. Technically, Oli is the one who tells Louis about it, but it’s not exactly being covered up. It would have been impossible to avoid hearing about it. Actual journalists are covering the story. It’s not even just the gossip rags, either. It’s all over the news – Harry Styles Attacked By Fan runs in headlines for days. Louis is on tour when he first hears about it. ![]()
