Yes. They're saving money hoping that the customer does the work for free! What is your point anyway? Do you really think I should be wasting half an hour to a full hour of my life every month to download a dozen of PDFs (remember, it&

They refuse to send emails because "emails are insecure", you HAVE to go to their website to download the PDFs..... (And encryption is NOT a signature. Anyone who knows the password can forge an encrypted file with the same passwo

If only banks knew this! They actively coax you into receiving your bank account statements as PDF, but I haven't found ANY bank which signs the PDFs (while bragging about security all the time). I wonder what happens if they lose your

The underlying issue is lack of self-discipline (to not over-consume things like the phone), not the phone itself. Removing the phone is treating the symptoms instead of the issue.

Thanks for the clarification. Really interesting that just the code is enough! (I cannot sign up to ChatGPT myself because it requires a cell phone number and I won't hand that out to any websites.)

What precisely did you enter into GPT? Just the raw source code, or other parts of the website? Which text did you use to ask it for a description? Can you try progressively removing parts of the source code to see what the minimal version

Thanks but a Fido device and/or TPM is NOT a solution: It's precisely why my original comment says "I don't want any locked-down hardware to prevent me from accessing my own keys".

Yes. But Google wants people to make a "transition", so I assume they will not allow passwords at some point in the future.

Their software is NOT open source (well, some parts are, but AFAIK it's a minority). Thus the privacy claims are just advertisement, there is no way to verify them. Apple devices might as well be fully backdoored.

The concept of homework is cruel anyway and needs to be abandoned: Imagine your employer gave you "homework". People would pull out pitchforks because it violates their private life and work-life balance. Yet doing this to kids so

Is this like Google's central "root key"? Or does each Android OS distributor, e.g. Samsung, LineageOS, etc., have their own certificate?

A must-watch in that context is the Oscar-nominated 1972 documentary on Thor Heyerdahl's Ra expeditions. They attempted to cross the Atlantic on papyrus boats, based on drawings and models from ancient Egypt. Here's a good picture

Oh I was fully aware of that, but nevertheless I do not consider it a wise decision to abandon the wallet development: I would say the probability is 100% that a non-zero percentage of users will not be able to figure out how to migrate to

Thanks for your lengthy reply! This is all fine and good, but you're forgetting about a central aspect of reality: In the end, a user realistically has to decide for one piece of software. You can't expect a single user to store

Well, yes this might make sense, but it reminds me of a situation where there is full diversity: Chinese consumer products on Amazon. Is it enjoyable to buy stuff out of this very large diversity? Rather not, because most of it is garbage :

Notice: I get that they advertise this as diversity. But from the perspective of someone who just wants to use the software it would be a lot easier if I don't have to sieve through 5 commercial websites. Also: For the $ 1 billion they

They might not change existing stuff, but they may very well constantly add new instructions, that doesn't break their usecase, but it will break the usecase of the public trying to decode it easily.
