And you can use a keyfile separate from the database for even more security. If the database is backed up on Google Drive and the keyfile is saved on a USB or in a (non-Google) email somewhere for the rare times you add a new device, your passwords should be safe even from keyloggers or Google themselves.

What a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

Windows went all-in on AI including for internal development, despite removing their dedicated QA teams years ago.

Yeah, but a small handful of American (or non-American but willing to pay bribes) CEOs will make tons of money off of this as the economy craters.

We’re already at the point where Windows programs sometimes run better on Linux with a compatibility layer (WINE/Proton) than they do natively. The stuff that doesn’t run is mostly games ladened with kernel-level DRM that Linux (rightfully) can’t emulate.

Linux even runs old Windows programs better than Windows itself, and long-term compatibility is supposed to be one of Windows’ biggest selling points.

Didn’t the PS5 boot signing keys leak recently? The word when that happened was that it blew PS5 modding wide open in a way that couldn’t be closed without new hardware, though I guess publishing anything that used Sony’s key would have their lawyers after you real quick.

The last console I owned was the Xbox 360. Once I started seeing non-gaming advertisements on my home screen, I lost all interest in the product line.

Sometimes I think internet connectivity was a mistake.

There aren’t any repercussions for submitting a false DMCA claim. There are for pushing the claim after the target files a counterclaim, but it’d require an uphill legal battle that most people aren’t able to fight so they simply give in and pull their video even if it falls under fair use.

Then to add to that, YouTube’s own policy will suspend your account after a few copyright claims regardless of their merits, and getting strikes removed is nearly impossible.

Basically if you’re not a major corporation with a legal team on standby, you’re getting screwed by both sides.

IIRC it’s also one of the worst greenhouse gasses in existence, unfortunately.

Edit: the worst greenhouse gas. Why are cool things always secretly terrible?

They are visible, you can test this yourself. Open a password-protected zip with 7zip and it’ll show the file list even without entering the password. The “encrypt file names” checkbox doesn’t even appear when creating an archive if the zip format is selected, so I’m not sure the format supports it.

That seems less like them decrypting encrypted archives and more like the zip format not encrypting filenames so they’re easily read from the zip’s metadata.

Which is still a privacy violation, to be clear, but not nearly on the same scale as somehow obtaining and using your passwords to decrypt data you yourself encrypted.

Archive.today became non-citable the moment it began altering archived webpages, regardless of anything else.

“The internet would be a series of tubes if we rolled out fiber, but as the literal chairman of the Senate committee regulating the internet I’m somehow against that.”

Did the Pi Pico ever make any headway in the microcontroller space? It looked interesting when it was first announced but I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere since.

Blackjack and hookers is more Obsidian’s thing.

Gloomwood is great. It feels a lot like classic Thief in the best of ways.

Time to bring back the finger command?

Taiwan being invaded would make the current component shortages look like nothing in comparison. TSMC fabricates the vast majority of high-end chips used by basically every computer and smartphone. They have a two-thirds market share while the next biggest player, Samsung, has around 10%, and Intel barely registers. If you want high-yield nanometer-scale precision manufacturing, TSMC is practically your only real choice.

Unless he starts following Elon’s beliefs about spreading “superior” genes and pays tons of women to get artificiality inseminated.

This reminds me of a post where someone hooked a dead spider up to a syringe and used it as a grabber. A spider’s musculature is hydraulic so the legs would curl and uncurl as the syringe was pressed.

Definitely one of the creepier things I’ve casually stumbled upon.
