Yes, you have to trust the company storing the passwords.

A good company can store passwords in ways that are secure to most hacking attempts. It isn’t impossible to break the encryption typically used, but it is difficult enough that most thieves will not have the resources or time to make use of the data. They want the low effort password databases, not the difficult and expensive ones.

That sounds great, but also isn’t a solution for most people.

It is not portable in the sense that you need bitwarden installed on the device you are trying to connect from.

Passwords can be plain text, which means I can copy, paste, and dictate them to a device that does not have additional software installed.

Not at all the same. I can type or dictate my passwords on any device with a keyboard. I am not reliant on an individual device continuing to work. In fact I could get all new devices tomorrow, with no access to any previous device, and log into all my accounts within minutes.

Passkeys do not allow, and specifically prevent, that.

They were surpassed by password managers and 2fa.

Oops, meant passkey manager, fixed it.

Sounds like a password manager would make that way easier. Changing your password would involve a few extra clicks. Also, you might want to check with your IT folks. Asking people to constantly change their password is a good way to weaken password strength. I don’t use docusign, but there is probably a setting that they can change.

Sure, they probably work great when you have your *passkey manager on the device, but that’s not when I need to have backup routes into my accounts. When using a new device, or someone else’s, having even a complicated password that can be typed or copied-pasted has way more functionality.

As far a I can tell, using passkeys would only risk locking me out of my accounts. Everyone else is already effectively locked out.

While the lock-in issue is annoying and a good reason not to adopt these, the device failure issue is a tech killer. Especially when I can use a password manager. This means I can remember two passwords (email and password manager), make them secure, and then always recover all my accounts.

Passkeys are a technology that were surpassed 10 years before their introduction and I believe the only reason they are being pushed is because security people think they are cool and tech companies would be delighted to lock you into their system.

What about Jefferson and Washington? Franklin and Paine?

Are we yay or nay on them being Americans?

I recently got a think pad from the prior generation, so like 2-3 years old. It’s been good for most things, but I’m not trying to play the latest graphics heavy game on it either.

This is multiple articles mushed together. I suggest separating into articles that each have a specific purpose and message. The windows/Microsoft discussion can be on, the intro to Linux another (the burger shop stuff), the distros another, and lastly the installation stuff.

That said, having switched to Linux about a year ago for exactly the reasons you mentioned, I would not have found this article useful. There are many other resources that cover each of these topics in more helpful and friendly ways. This article is both too broad and lacking depth where needed. It sounds a little bit like your personal journal and a narrative of your path. It may be helpful for you personally to write that down, but I’m struggling to see how this helps a potential reader.

Some questions to consider:

What do think a reader would do next after reading your article?

What value or message would they take away from it?

Who is your audience and what new knowledge should they have after reading this?

With the plug in models that’s about the biggest you’ll find. Full range cook tops will offer larger diameters.

If you’re searing or pan frying, then a 12 in might have some cold spots towards the edge, depends on the quality of the pan. A 10 in or less should be fine as long as the pan is decent quality. For something like deep frying, stewing, boiling, etc the size won’t matter so much.

Get a decent counter top induction plate. Don’t get a fancy one, because they are all limited to the same power. So get one that has the basic features you might want to try. Also try to get one with a reasonable size heating zone.

Then get a good solid stainless steel or cast iron pan.

It won’t be quite the same power level as a full cook range, but it will show you how the heat can be managed. It will probably be able to boil water faster than gas, but not quite as fast as a modern electric. Try something that requiresgood heat control, like pancakes.

These induction plates are also just generally useful for doing stinky/messy things outside or adding another burner to the kitchen during big holiday or family events.

Adding a VPN step would be a good choice too.

These seem like the kind of people who use spaces, not underscores, in their file names.

I didn’t want to get into a discussion of vapor pressures, so I was just using those temperatures as stand-ins to get an idea of what temps would required. But you’re right, I probably should have used the sublimation temp.

Highly unlikely, the melting point of those materials is higher than most house fires. The boiling point would be even higher. Even then, the amount of beryllium in all of those gems combined wouldnt be enough to significantly impact the air quality.

As stated by another user, Wh is not a good metric for batteries because it will change depending on the load (voltage and current).

mAh is a strange unit, but it is the amount of stored charge (as in Coulombs) which does not depend on the load, so it makes sense to rate the capacity by this metric.

What if we did something to the virus so that it couldn’t make us sick, but still made our bodies thing we were sick?
