Dell XPS 13 9350. Wish it had more than 8GB on the model with the 1080 panel, but it's been great for the past few years running Fedora. Upgraded the WiFi card to an Intel 8650 and storage to a Samsung NVME 512GB. Keyboard is pretty go

Google's 2FA doesn't require a phone. Use a USB token, use a secondary email, or use a single recovery code and leave the account logged in in a separate browser used only for GPM.

I think you mean privacy, not security, which there aren't really any claims about. Google aims to provide security updates to all Android devices, but specifically targets their product lines (Nexus, Pixel, etc) and Android One device

Sorry, but this is just not true at all. There are thousands of open (and closed) source projects, software, and services that do not fall under this silly statement. Does it mean that if you do pay for a product, that you still can't

There is a hack to disable this for the FHD matte 9350. I applied it to mine, and it's successfully disabled. Your mileage might vary, there are a few different panels apparently. https://github.com/advancingu/XPS1

KeePass DX doesn't support syncing the database natively. With Keepass2Android, you don't need to install the Dropbox client to save the database to cloud providers.

IMHO, this is a curious way of thinking. Why put in the work of trying to secure one account, but not others? Wouldn't it be easier to simply secure ALL and not have the mental gymnastics of "how much do I care about this?" E

Ehh. Any password cracker worth their salt would be able to use rules to break hashes created by "The Algorithm", especially easier once the base word has been figured out or supplied by a single plain-text leak.

Since you're already using a phone for this, why not just use Keepass2Android USB Plugin [0] which emulates a keyboard and "types" the password. Requires Android, and probably a device with kernel modules for USB HID. You won

This should be OR. If you have FDE enabled, then the data is encrypted and it doesn't matter if your bootloader is unlocked or you have a custom recovery installed -- all caveats about the trustworthiness of the crypto and strength of

To clarify, he means he can both use it as a mass storage device on any platform, as well as it can be used boot an ISO if needed. An iPhone can do neither of those things.

Conflating secure with up-to-date is wrong in such a broad and sweeping statement such as 'your Linux desktop is always less secure than an iPhone'. Updates software does not instantly mean more secure, which I am sure you are awa

Also respectfully, he stated patched daily. Generally, security updates for both iOS and Android devices happen in a monthly roll-up. If your checklist for being "secure" involves being up-to-date, there is no amount of 'gett

Snapshot your current running instance and create a new $2.50/month server using that snapshot. Works fine, I just moved a site from $5 to $2.50 without issues.

The Tungsten doesn't support RFMON, thus it can't do packet injection, not sure how this was achieved. The most Palm OS could do was run NetStumbler, which does discovery by active beacon probing. Maybe with a Zaurus, Libretto, or

Huh? Most people in North America (who can't afford phones) lease-to-own their phones. They pay for it in a monthly rolled up price, and at the end of their contract they own the device outright, obviously with all caveats surrounding
