The point is precisely that mIRC was already fast in old machines; meanwhile, a big reason for Slack not being fast, snappy and using barely any RAM is that it's been written with web technologies, which have eaten out any potential be

What this guy needs to do is gain some perspective, travel back in time and notice how responsive native Windows 98 / Windows XP style GUIs were (when the system wasn't crashing), and then compare snappiness of a full fledged vide

After reading you and checking the links, I am now sure the unlocking latency is not due to the number of iterations. First and foremost, because I'm using the PIN entry. And it already takes some very noticeable time to open. I do not

Why are you upping it up that much? I guess "too much is not a bad thing" in this case, and Bitwarden itself says: "We recommend a value of 100,000 or more.". When I see that I read: "With our knowledge of securit

That happened to me with a "minor" update of iOS, which upped the bar and required a new version of Xcode, but that version of Xcode required a newer version of MacOS, and that version of MacOS was not available for my MacBook. So

The QR that you mention, is just an encoding of an actual string key (edit: I'm reading now that it's called seed ). If possible, it is better to get the string directly, instead of its QR encoded counterpart. This is needed for
