To add context to the downvotes you've acquired: I didn't downvote you, but I think I understand why others did. Your parent comment was asking about 96 GB of RAM, and you posted a reply talking about 512 RAM. I suspect others t

Nope, fuck this. The moment a product mentions "From developer to CEO" (ie. includes the word "CEO"), this is bad news. As soon as you introduce any metrics involving "participation awards" (whether based on

Bingo. "Auth Token" simply becomes "Session ID", and the backend then tracks anything it wants as part of the session. I don't see much of a solution other than making it a matter of policy, eg. Microsoft's &qu

What does the other 10% entail, when creating a VR game vs. a (first-person) 3D environment for PC? I'd never pondered this, and am curious exactly which elements are any different whatsoever. The only obvious thing that comes to mind

I interpreted your parent's comment differently; namely, if Google's developers can't do User-Agent detection, then internally even they will have to improve how they develop (eg. via feature detection), making their products

The biggest takeaway here IMO is that Python breaks the standard contract regarding signals–at least for SIGPIPE. Python should not be catching and throwing an exception for SIGPIPE; it should simply exit immediately, which is literally the

Those of us using a different random username and/or email address for each sender do it for two reasons: 1. If whichever identifier is used for login (eg. email address) is exposed/leaked, it cannot be used by the attacker to loo

Yeah. While I can understand wanting to be able to reset a user's password as an administrator of other users (eg. an IT department supporting those who forget their master password), it's also a security problem to allow such a f

I have to spam another comment here to suggest that Bitwarden also has built-in two-factor auth. $10/year (not per month) for personal use, and I believe it's included for $3/month/user in the enterprise version. Cheaper

To OP: Please don't consider Passwordstate. It's so horrible to use, that users refuse to use it when it is offered. My company expects it to be used, but instead everyone (hundreds of in-house users) reuse the same password every

Can you elaborate? Changing a password with Bitwarden is just editing the field or–even better–a one-click button to (re)generate a new random password (including options for length and complexity requirements). If you are logged into the b
