The security properties are also really really different, and really intuitive, and quite strong too: if you have physical possession you have total access, otherwise none at all.
With a computing device, only if you are certain there is no wifi/bluetooth/cellular/etc hardware inside the device, can you have a similar trust. And the days are rapidly coming when there's no such thing as a device without such hardware, not even a watch.
With computing devices, you do get the ability to encrypt data at rest, so for example, a locked physical paper diary is less secure in that sense than an encrypted text file. But the possible number of actors that would attempt to break the security for a physical paper document is much lower, only whoever is nearby, not everyone on the entire internet.
If I had something I really didn't want to get out, these days, I'd be much more likely to recommend the use of a notebook in a safe than an encrypted file on a laptop or phone or something. It doesn't matter how encrypted it is if my device gets compromised.
(If it had to be electronic, it'd be a laptop with no working networking hardware, in a safe.)
- araes 3y agoChangeLog - Paper - Sept 2023 Good news everyone, Paper supports MSPen 2.3.4.5.3.2...., GPen 1.10.1.0.11 "Lumpsucker", iPen 4.2.0 (8 new colors!), and the AmaWEbLumberPen (AWELP) We're happy to report we've solved the issue of Paper randomly vanishing from your house, and reappearing on your roof. Security exploits with D4r|<9@nc1l and Y+e()v+ have been discovered, and we're working on a fix. In the meantime, please update your Paper password (remember not to write it down) Minor issues with Paper flickering (and in a limited user group causing epilepsy seizures and incontinence) have been mitigated. We're aware of Paper occasionally causing i#Desk models to collapse, and working to close the loop. We're also happy to report we've been sold to ShredderCo.! Congratulations to the team for going the extra mile, and we expect a bright future in their exciting and challenging area of business.
