I categorically disagree with this false equivalence. Copyright infringement and theft are not the same--no matter how much knowledge workers would have you believe otherwise. Actually, I find it a little ironic that you backed up your stat

Ideally I should be able to copy things directly out of 1PW. right click, copy. Or the app should use a widget that supports click/drag. It took me a while just to DISCOVER the steps to getting a file out of 1pw, which involved a lot o

I disagree; I used Chrome for a decade but recently switched back to Firefox because I found it increasingly bloated, and the Chrome team keeps making user-hostile decisions that works to circumvent privacy on the web. Saying "Chrome s

we're missing the point here, but newspaper isn't good for charcoal. You need sustained heat to activate charcoal--paper burns too quickly. The one time I tried to do this, I ended up slathering it in olive oil which would retard

The Dropbox integration to me became worthless after Dropbox limited the number of devices it would sync to on the free plan. If I can't have my passwords everywhere, then the value delivered drops off a cliff

You think that peace and love is detrimental? I assert we could use more of it. Note, I wouldn't say that such peace and love is blind--people are still very much grounded in reality--but the ability for compassion and empathy is incre
