Matching atmosphere. Like the floating door; you can be pushed right from inside the house onto the lawn.

That's like, real estate inspection.

When I forgot part of my my old password, I came up with a list of words that I possibly could have come up with and tried those. I eventually found it even if I was panicky the whole time. If I were you, I would list the words and try them in the order of probabilities.

Un/Fortunately, BW is implemented to rate-limit password brute-forcing. I feel you about your CAPTCHA hell, and I hate their surreal sunflower CAPTCHA (maybe to make it as repulsive as possible to the hackers?).

Didn't his admin approve the Operation Warp Speed thingy?

That's probably not just for debris protection; there's also bat shit!

The show must go on.

True.

  • Automatic patch => automatic installation of malware

  • Manual patch => unpatched vulnerabilities

Screwed either way.

Yeah, this is definitely a problem with brand new services, especially when the native app isn't appealing. For example, I use Liftoff for Lemmy. Open-sourced✅ In official Appstore✅ Relatively transparent who the developer is✅ No special permission starting off✅ Relatively few downloads📛 .

When a mobile app doesn't ask for permissions, it's definitely less nerve-racking than the more permissive desktop environments where the apps don't have to be special to do considerable damages.

Speaking about Windows PC.

  1. Not everybody thinks they need such security because it's their home computer.
  2. Enabling device encryption necessitates the backup of the encryption key (and backup of the data files); otherwise, you may lose all the contents when things go wrong (like the key disappears after an update). People who don't understand the tech may not know where their backup keys are.
  3. Windows Home encryption is a hassle since you don't have finer-grain control over the encryption, unlike Bitlocker on Windows Pro. This is the lamest scheme for Windows. You only get practical basic security with Windows Pro.
  4. Enabling system drive encryption may make your system backup/recovery harder or impossible in some configurations. Figuring this out may require some technical expertise.
