Having a proper time format helps more

Maybe he started the install at 02:30? And included a coffee break

The x axis should be time, and the y axis should be "some metric"

Especially annoying since colons are already used to specify port number. Sure you can put it all inside [], but that just makes it even uglier.

The companies doing them have a few hundred million reasons to skirt around the laws, so they will no doubt find a few ways. But that doesn't mean we can't make laws

Eh, mods will get patched and will work within a few days again usually. Unless they explicitly remove support for them.

Some old abandoned mods might stop working though.

Same country that convinced itself that you should have one hot and one cold tap, and if you want to get proper temperatured water just fill the basin.. instead of just combining them like the rest of the civilized world.

Yes. Writting down a complex password helps against most attacks, except one where the bad guy has physical access to your note. Based on the normal users use case that is probably a very good trade off. Most hacks are done over the internet without access to your note.

Ideally everyone should use a password manager, but that is highly unlikely any time soon.

I know this is a meme, but security is not binary. It is not you either have 100% or 0%, it is always a sliding scale, and usually on the opposite side is convenience.

Encrypting your drive protects against someone stealing your computer or breaning into youe house while the computer is off/locked.

People like to trash people that write down their passwords on a post-it note and keep next to their computer. It is not ideal, but having a somewhat complex password written down protects a lot more against attacks over the internet than having "password". However, if others have physical access to the note then it is obviously very bad. Like for example in an office.

In their defense a very tiny percentage of users even open options and of those an even smaller actually change stuff.

Maybe slighlty different for Firefox as probably more power user use it than other random programs. But basically if something is not enabled by default, it doesn't exist.

I have always wondered about the "assorted" part in Bob's business, it makes the joke funnier. But is he selling the rodents by weight? You just scoop up how many you want? Or is it some kind of mystery/loot box?

Great, but they should donate some of the saved money to open source projects they are using to make sure they stay updated.
