Oh sanity, yeah per ad

IT person here, Firefox works fine for everything that matters.

3x20, a bunch of wasted CPU cycles and probably a rare form of malware

The planet they're standing on

Surely the volume knob isn't a real gear stick, right?

Hardware keys for everything. Bitwarden for the rest.

Nobody should be letting a closed source black box run on their kernel, especially not from Epic Games (a CCP company).

Australia, when?

Routers been in place for decades with limited space for BGP routes.

Can't replace them because it would be a major outage, can't replace them because they're the backbone of the network.

You're looking for Coder.

You can even set up your DE with the bits required to build your apps.

There is no steam deck 2 planned for years according to Valve.

The other issue with Calyx is that MicroG has had an open bug report for years that when a Google Work account checks for a passcode lock it can't. Thus you can't use Google Work addresses on your phone.

I get that you shouldn't be using google at all, but I have a job and need money. I don't have the ability to not use work Gmail.

Encryption + POP should be part of every privacy conscious person's repertoire.

1. Password manager such as Bitwarden, generate long strong passwords for everything.
   1a. Corpo SSO (By which I mean "log in with Google/Microsoft/Apple/Whatever") nothing.
2. Hardware keys, MFA on anything that doesn't support one.
3. Degoogle, de-megacorp.
4. Use Linux, stop the Stockholm syndrome that is Windows.

VPN shouldn't even be in the top 10. The benefits are dubious at best and the jury is still out on whether it makes you more of a target or if you can trust ANY provider meaningfully.

Never had a spam message

Doesn't exist.

Just switch to Pixelfed.

Good friends will talk to you elsewhere like Telegram or Signal.

And an ad blocker should be part of everyone's personal and organisational security model regardless, so you'd have to install ublock and specifically turn it off for YouTube.

But of course, the reason people block ads is most of the Google ads were straight malware at one point.

Multi factor authentication is about having multiple factors for authenticating you:

Something you know (like a password) Something you have (with you - a hardware key, smart card or token) Something you are (biometrics, fingerprint, faceid)

So the idea is that you'll have two points of identification.

But if you have your TOTP token and your generated password in the same password manager - that's effectively only one factor of authentication.

If you've gotten this far you should probably consider a WebAuthn key like the Ubikey to be the "something you have".

Actually I'd prefer a petition for Microsoft to drop Windows support entirely.

Stupid people smoke
