This is an amalgamation of ideas I’ve read and may be totally from elsewhere, but I think a good approach here would be to handle this more dynamically. Every patent is taxed at some arbitrary rate - say 3% a year. The catch is the patent h

Can anyone comment on how concerning this is? It doesn’t seem good. I was considering updating from 1Password4 to 7 and biting the bullet on the subscription model. Based on this case study it seems 7 is a security regression trade for UX i
