Hi strom,do you have experience using this? I tried it a couple of years back on a new pc but I had some issue (I cant't remember what it was) with full disk encryption which caused me to go with Truecrypt.

Who can you trust? I use trucrypt to encrypt my windows machine but I've been thinking about moving away from it because it seems to cause issues with some windows updates. So if not Truecrypt, what, bitlocker?

In the last 12 months we've had tropical storms, siberian-like snowstorms and now a long hot summer. It's certainly been more interesting than our usual grey wet summers and grey wet winters.

I think you're better off staying away from Capital cities as a rule. People are more patient outside them. The only truly friendly capital city I've been to is Rome. I wouldn't be the most widely travelled though.

So what's to stop a hijacker persuading the website to take off 2FA or switch you from TOTP to SMS. Seems just as possible as hijacking your phone.

What I always disliked about toysrus was that no matter if you went at the quietest time you had to queue forever at the checkout. There'd be just the one till open and they'd only open a second one if people were getting restless

Yes, my first online purchases were from ebay, I then switched to amazon but now I mostly buy on ebay again. I trust its ratings more than amazon's and also ebay feels less creepy to me as a company.
