2c13b71452 Link ParentDecoding a wireless signal shouldn't take very long. The main reasons for WiFi being slow is probably because the packets are quite large and they get resent on failure.Decoding a wireless signal shouldn't take very long.

Comment on Revisiting my digital security model in ~tech
2c13b71452 Link ParentI think it's more likely (still hopefully not too likely) that one day the password manager service I use either gets hacked, or they just make a mistake, and unencrypted data gets into the wild.......since I don’t think I’ll be a specifically targeted individual anytime soon
I think it's more likely (still hopefully not too likely) that one day the password manager service I use either gets hacked, or they just make a mistake, and unencrypted data gets into the wild. It's this thought that stops me wanting to put TOTP codes for my most important accounts into the same vault as where the password gets kept.

2c13b71452 Link ParentThanks that makes a lot of sense! I suppose the only thing is that gender doesn’t have to be tied to how we outwardly look at all, can’t the robot just be allowed to be the way it is?Thanks that makes a lot of sense!

Can you flick the cursor around easily? I think left/right would be ok, it's that "swipe down" motion that just doesn't feel like my thumb works like that if that makes any sense?
