If they're hashing, the column size should be irrelevant. Ideally the database should never see the plaintext password in the first place (though I could understand calculating the hash in the query itself). If they're not hashing, they should really be rewriting their database anyway.

I'd rather see a paper explaining the flaws with salted passwords rather than "just use this instead".

My initial reaction is that this overcomplicates things for the majority of use-cases, and has way more to configure correctly compared to something basic like a salted sha256/sha512 hash that you can write in any language's standard library.

If the database of everyone's salted password hashes gets leaked, this still gives everyone plenty of time to change passwords before anything has a chance of cracking them. (Unless you're about to drop some news on me about long time standard practices being fundamentally flawed)

If they're not already rate-limiting login attempts that's another huge problem...

I'm upgrading from no TV, and I expect it to last me at least 10 years or I'll be very disappointed.

Not to mention if you want an OLED display, any sort of commercial variant of that will be $10000+ and marketed to Hollywood producers and other creative industries that care about color accuracy.

Good luck implementing all the display color calibration, pixel refresher, anti-burn in features, etc... on these new TV panels. Personally I'd rather keep my warranty and just use a separate device to run the apps.

That's not really true because even the high end top of the line Samsung QD-OLED TVs have ads on the home screen if you connect Internet. If you want the latest display technology, your only options are Smart TV with ads, or spending 10x the price for a commercial display that nobody will actually sell you.

If I owned a trailer I'd be so worried about this. There was a local story around here of someone who had their race car on a trailer hooked up to their truck at a hotel. When they woke up the trailer and car were gone. Idk if they ever found it... the race car was not registered.

It's easy enough to throw a block of wood or something under the tire. They probably just aren't thinking about it.

I work on my own car and I'm always paranoid about it shifting or rolling while I'm under it, so I double up on jack stands / wheel chocks / floor jack wherever I can.

I'm taking this as a sign the Internet is healing that I fully understood this as sarcasm. The last couple of years I wouldn't have been so sure.

Not helpful when something like Consent-o-matic needs to operate on every possible website with a cookie banner.

I have had the same concerns, since watching it click through things faster than I can see is scary. Maybe some day someone sneaks in a cookie banner detector that activates on banking pages to steal your money? uBlock Origin has similar risks, but at least it's not actively controlling browser inputs.

Musk said that in 2022 before he renamed Twitter.

Is dropping your phone on your face really this common shared experience tons of people have? (I've done it myself) I swear I've been seeing a lot of memes about it recently.

This is what, the 3rd attempt Apple has made at "complying" with the 3rd party app store regulations? It's only been like a year since that's been going on. I'm sure the EU will be getting back to them about this soon.

Yeah, if I actually liked these headphones I'd probably repair them, but as it is, I have other headphones I can use, they're just not noise cancelling.

There might be something to that. Unfortunately I keep Bluetooth on for my smart watch to connect. The headphones aren't normally selected, but I think they auto-connect sometimes when they come in range. It also doesn't help that the main way of switching the connected device is via the Android app, that requires the phone to use. (Original Surface Headphones, I'm considering replacing them because the pads are falling apart already)

The number of times I've been mid video call or watching a video on my headphones and they randomly decided to disconnect from my laptop and connect to another device like my phone absolutely infuriates me.

The whole multiple paired device feature really needs some work...

A simpler time...

In this case they're talking about "Algorithm Implementation"

That actually makes way more sense why a supercomputer was involved. (Keeping in mind, our phones are likely more powerful than what they are talking about)

Edit: Oh, it's worse than I thought. The CRAY-1 supercomputer is 4.5x slower than a Raspberry Pi.
