  • It is still probably one of the better ways to manage your passwords short of using a password manager. I don’t know any hackas but it feels like a lot of effort, finding patterns in a list of passwords. When you have found a pattern, you must also figure out what the pattern is.

    On the other hand, it could be a viable way given that there are some huge leaks with a lot of data. Perhaps someone is selling datasets of hacked patterns, it could be another way to find someones paypal password.





  • From what I understand, they (hackers) try known email/password combinations at different sites because a lot of people reuse their passwords. I also find it unlikely that anyone trying hack accounts will spend any amount of time looking at individual passwords if their list is 1000+ (and we know there are leaks in the milions).

    I agree that they are reasonably save unless they are targeted.



  • Why not? It’s not going to be cost effective to discard a usable computer, of course. But hen your phone can be hooked up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and the phone’s internet can be used to stream the remote computer, why have a computer? Or if your phone could give you the same interface as your current computer?

    I will personally most likley always own a “ordinary” computer, but I wonder if a majority of the populace will.



  • I haven’t seen The Expanse, but I get it from context. I still believe that is how a lot of people will operate in when 5G is wide spread enough in the US (because that is most likely where the money to develop this will come from and hence the first target market. Or perhapas somewhere in Asia.) + 5 years to develop and sell products.

    Unless I am completely wrong and some other trend comes along and the tech world takes a whole other course. 🤷
