They should spend the money on fixing power problems instead of voter suppression.

Btw the tech they want has been around for decades, WORM drives.

Texass--the lone brain cell state.

It's better than typing them manually. The main point is that all your passwords should be complex and unique. That should help you in 99% of cases.

Your PC will always be a single point of failure. At least a password manager tries to secure the data even when its sitting in your RAM and has features to try and thwart keyloggers. This buys you time to change your passwords.

Manually typing your passwords or copy/pasting via clipboard is the least secure method by far and is the main method key loggers plan on exploiting.

And here’s the thing. The USB drive is encrypted, the paper ballots are locked away and provide a separate record of the votes to compare against. If an election official delivered a USB drive that didn’t match what the actual ballots show(has never happened) they would go to prison. No sane person would try that.

Buy now pay later has officially gone too far.

• Write once

• Impossible to hack

• Never messes has technical issues

• Easily verifiable

Sounds like a job for pen and paper.

The goal is to secure elections - for the Republicans.

LastPass does boast about that and it used to be true but they’ve been slacking off since the original founder sold the company. They are not keeping up with best practices that other password management services do (like encrypting most of their metadata).

It’s probably not bad and it’s better than nothing, but it’s less portable than a good password manager.

Okay, so the technology they want is a write-once drive to replace the reusable drives they use to collect results from the voting machines. The idea is that if a drive can only be written to once, then you can guarantee that the data hasn’t been tampered with once it’s been copied from the machine. There’s no evidence that something like this has happened, but even if it had, couldn’t you pull off the same thing by getting an entirely new drive and just swapping it with the real one?

The data stolen was encrypted. LastPass doesn’t ever have unencrypted passwords. However, the encryption is only as strong as your master password.

It didn't fail. The test was full duration meaning it lasted for the specified amount of time. That was the main thing. Testing the rocket and the OLM during startup.

Having issues with two engines will be investigated but it's unlikely they will do another static fire. They will either green light both engines or replace one or both and then move on to the launch.

It's estimated Starship can lose up to 7 engines total and around 3-5 on launch and still make it to orbit. Musk tweeted that had this been a launch it would have made it to orbit.

Think if they're saved they go head to saved passwords and click a button to see it in clear text. Might have changed now but I remember doing that on a publicly used computer a few years back

You have two options:

1. Put your passwords in a password manager - this can be local only
2. Remember all of your passwords

The second one means that you will either have duplicate passwords or a system in place where a person who knows one password can figure out the others. The only real option is a password manager. All password manager worth anything won't be able to get hold of your passwords without you first entering your master password so the trick is to keep a good master password and you should be fine.

It's not the best. Depending on how things are set up, anyone getting access to your PC can log onto any of the sites that you log into. You are also tied to the browser. e.g. Want to use an iPhone and chrome, tough. There are free options for password managers.

I wonder if they were selling this data then. That would be the only reason to keep this unencrypted.

Information is encrypted before sending to Google ( I am assuming you are using chrome), so even Google doesn't know your passwords. Therefore, generally pretty safe.

How exactly!? Aren't they always boasting about "top of the line encryption this and encryption that"?

That's how poisonous the word "Democrat" is to people who watch Fox News

I save all my password in the browser saving password thing, is it bad?

Don't worry, as the deadline looms Republicans will vote to allow an untested and unverified machine from a company that supports Republicans.
