  • I think that's the Gen2 or Gen3? I had a couple of them over a few years, and I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure whether I actually had the one in the photo, or the version just prior to it.

  • I have no specific basis to say so, but I distrust browser-based password managers on the principles of separation of function and mitigating risk. Strong my credentials in a browser just feels hinky, even with a master password. Too obvious of an attack vector. Rather, I use the KeepassDX variant with its MagicKeyboard feature. When I'm presented with a login prompt, I can use the keyboard switcher to launch KeepassDX, unlock my vault, and select the credentials entry. Then I can switch back to the browser (or app) and have MagicKeyboard enter the credentials for me.

    It's a few more taps than just that, but it's a straightforward workflow that should mitigate leakage from my usual keyboard, clipboard snooping, and any hypothetical attacks against the in-browser vault workflow.

    Plus, I know where my credentials are stored, can apply 2FA, and even back up the vault file to offline archives.

    It works for me. "Cool story bro," I guess, is my point.

  • In the eye of our creators, we are all donuts.

  • Probably all of them, at one time or another.

  • Now do it in ASCII

  • Smoking a small brisket this weekend, having some friends over. Kinda stoked for it.

    How bout u?

  • Seems to be the AskLemmy community, and you've already found us!

    Just kidding. Also curious about AMA community.

    Just kidding again. Not really.

    Hey, what's up?

  • Plus 1 for a refurb or gently used Dell Latitude series. My daily beater for the last 5 or 6 years has been a pre-2020 Dell Latitude 7390 13". Works really well with the *bian distros I've run on it, decent battery life, OK mic and speakers.

    I've had to replace the battery once, and the keyboard once (which I damaged myself by applying a small amount of Coca Cola).

    Refurb ThinkPads are also great, but they have a high resale value.

  • Hi!

    I'm OK, mostly.

    Had some good Chinese takeaway tonight, which was a treat. Ate that while watching my countrymen descend into some kind of froth for dystopic, authoritarian autocracy. That's kind of a bummer.

    I abide. Trying to, anyway

    For now.

  • "Restricted" means the app has been limited by your Android on the amount of data it may transmit/receive as a background app. The app settings assume you're on a meterd or low-volume data plan, and so they don't transmit data except when they're active, or up on your screen.

    Their upload/download tallies will still count in your Network accounting. Frankly, your screenshot looks like something I'd expect. Nothing untoward seems to be occurring.

    Let those other restricted apps 'run in background" (an app permission) and you'll see a different picture.

  • I mean, we're communicating over the Internet right now, which is pretty cool. Right?

    On Lemmy. For now. Things will change. But for now it's pretty cool. Um.

    Hi. :waves:
