Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.
Bitwarden offers a cloud-based service in addition to self-hosted options. I choose to pay $10/year to get access to store OTP codes and easy Yubikey enrollment
AI reminder: If the person claiming that AI is going to be a huge boon for the industry stands to gain by using it to replace workers and keep wages low, then their opinions on the tool are not to be trusted.
Oh, I fully agree.
I really want to go back to electronics and appliances being both more robust and more repairable. It’s just that the vast majority of the population disagrees with that once they learn that it will make things cost more initially.
I think the “black box” nature of electronics is mostly illusory due to how we treat our devices. A friend bought a walking treadmill that wouldn’t turn on out of the box. She contacted the company, they told her to trash it and just shipped her a new one.
She gave it to me, I took it apart. One of the headers that connects the power switch to the mainboard was just unplugged. It took literally 10 minutes to “fix” including disassembly and assembly, and all I needed was a screwdriver.
This is a symptom of industry switching to cheap “disposable” electronics, rather than more expensive, robust, and repairable ones.
From the treadmill company’s point of view, it’s cheaper to just lose one unit and pay shipping one way rather than pay to have the unit returned, spend valuable technician time diagnosing and fixing an issue and then pay to ship the repaired unit back.
About 50 years ago, you could find appliance repair shops that would fix your broken toaster or TV, and parts for stuff like that were easily available. Now, with the advanced automation in building these, combined with the increased difficulty of repair(fine-work soldering, firmware debuging and the like) it makes way more sense to just replace the whole thing.
You’re not wrong. I love onions, but I will freely admit that they are a powerful flavor and they are basically in everything.
I will note that if you’re in this camp, that if you soak your onions in water for a couple minutes after slicing they are significantly less pungent, and will allow you to taste the other stuff better without sacrificing the texture they add
“He’s thrown out the old playbook. He’s not going through normal diplomatic channels.”
The man tries to treat politics like the Mafia dealings he’s more familiar with. “I know a guy” is the official channel
This is the same tired anti-vax/eugenics rhetoric. Let the flu infect the whole flock and then just let the ones that survive continue to breed making the species stronger.
This is information coming from someone who has absolutely zero medical experience, but thinks that doctors have been looking at this whole thing wrong for the last century.
This will rely on having an executive team that can predict trends beyond the next quarter.
Doubling down on advertising, telemetry, and AI in an overly bloated OS looks really good if you only care about the profits that brings for the next 3 months, rather than how much your userbase resents it. MS is fully capable of turning this around immediately by just making LTSC available to the public without needing to buy a MAK through an enterprise channel, but that means throwing away some recurring revenue in favor of claiming a lost userbase
Satisfactory was a phenomenal video game that you guys can play together. Not quite like Minecraft, but similar.
