Hardware controls are meaningless if an attacker gets you to click on a dodgy link in a phishing email or you fall for a social engineering scam when “Microsoft” calls you because your computer has a virus.

Two of the employees were twins. It wasn’t planned, but it did give us a chance to see if twins were a weak point.

No, it gave you a chance to see if that particular set of twins was a weak point.

In fact, I myself could only tell them apart by their clothes. They had very different styles.

This makes it sound like you only tried one particular set of twins–unless there were multiple sets, and in each set the two had very different styles? I’m no statistician, but a single set doesn’t seem statistically significant.

What about just giving transparency to what the ranking is and letting people control it? Analogous to “sort by new/best/top” bit ideally with more knobs to tweak and a bunch of preset options?

Sure but given that their previous language explicitly mentions Google why remove that unless they’re trying to make people think that maybe they didn’t use Google. It’s a shady change, from a company whose CEO is already doing somewhat unhinged things.

The issue is that they’re using it but no longer being explicit about that use.

Obsidian is fantastic. I use it for work and also for personal stuff like planning TTRPG sessions. Especially with the plugins that are out there, it’s super powerful. Getting into using metadata tags and the Dataview plugin it becomes a pretty amazing knowledge engine.

I’d encourage you to check out SyncThing; it works great for syncing pretty much anything: I use it for my Obsidian notes and for my KeePass vault.

Interesting, thanks! I’ve only vaguely followed crypto stuff, so not really too familiar with how it gets used day-to-day

Gotcha, thanks! So you can just swap Monero for Bitcoin without going through KYC stuff?

How do you use a public ledger for privacy? Are you just using Monero or something?

The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.

Why is it a terrible idea?

I mean, the domestic businesses are the ones who own Congress and are using it to get rid of a competitor.

SMS-based can be intercepted, while app-based are calculated on your phone. If you’re using SMS -based, all someone needs to do is take over your phone, and they’re getting your 2FA codes. Here’s how easy that is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lc7scxvKQOo

A combination of a good lock (I think those Kryptonite New York locks are well reviewed) and having a bike that doesn’t look desirable. If your bike is obviously high end, it’s a target. If it looks like an old beater, thieves probably won’t bother. As often, anyway.

You’re confusing brainstorming with content generation. LLMs are great for brainstorming: they can quickly churn out dozens of ideas for my D&D campaign, which I then look through, discard the garbage, keep the good bits of, and riff off of before incorporating into my campaign. If I just used everything it suggested blindly, yeah, nightmare fuel. For brainstorming though, it’s fantastic.

I’m a proponent of this myself. I think the big barrier to just using UTC everywhere is with the clock as a symbol: right now if you’re watching a movie or a TV show and see someone’s alarm going off at 6:00, you know “oh, they’re a pretty early riser.” If everyone used UTC, that time could be local noon, or the person could be late for work, out any number of other things.

That also applies to when people move to a new place; if I’m used to having lunch at 20:00 UTC and then move across the country, suddenly lunch is at 17:00 UTC. Symbols are really important to people, so I think these are both problematic. Meetings would be easier, but offline life would be harder.

Does KeePass support passkeys?
