I have my password file on a google drive. It syncs automatically to my local drive. I can access it with Keepass clients on my phone, MacBook, linux machines and windows machine.

There's a sync process that frequently transfers a copy to a backup drive locally, which isn't otherwise mounted, so malware wouldn't be able to get at it if it landed on my machines.

This has worked for many years. I had to do some hacking when google messed up the google drive client and made a bunch of files "cloud only" without asking. That's why I am dropping google drive and moving my off site data hosting to another provider.

Read TFA. That's what happens when you rely on an outside password management service.

Use a local, open source password manager. Keep the password file synced locally and remotely for backup.

>I put Moblin [wikipedia.org] on my Acer Aspire, it was lovely

That brings back memories. Moblin got tied up with all that Meego nonsense and the Microsoft parasites in Nokia twisting the knife if I remember right.

>I haven't seen a PS/2 connector on a keyboard cable in years.

I have. People hang on to good keyboards from the past.

I had reasons to visit the floor where the clear Linux developers were when I worked at Intel (pre covid so everyone was in the office). A number of the people involved were kernel developers also and that's why I was talking to them - I was designing security hardware in the silicon that the kernel uses.

I have no deep insights other than any org that wasn't making money got whacked recently. I was first out of the door when the redundancy packages were offered. I imagine they weren't given an option. Clear Linux got cancelled because there was no one left in the Clear Linux team is my best guess. I hope they found good places to go.
   

In order to get a job in journalism, you are required to fail a test, showing you have no clue how units work in physics.

>You cant convince daytraders that they’re gambling.

I know I'm gambling, but with the odds very much better than at the blackjack table. You can manage risk in multiple ways.
As for patterns, the are statistical things that are less like patterns but more like low or high entropy states which you can identify if you know how. See my book referenced in my sig for evidence I might have a clue in this regard.

I got a year's wages when I left Intel. I set a goal to survive 1 year and keep my capital. The year is up and I'm doing better than the goal. The alternative is to get a proper job. I'm consulting to keep my brain active. My stress is down and life is better. So I'm motivated to keep on going.

YTD I'm making 62% return in Robinhood. That is from March when I switched. I made some more in Fidelity before March but that number is harder to find because Fidelity sucks. Right now the S&P500 is up 6.43% YTD. My pot of cash started as the payoff from Intel's layoff. It's now a bigger pot of cash and I've also been paying myself out of that pot.

I am fully aware that others have better information, but my trading strategy includes methods to address that imbalance.

The biggest information imbalance is that market makers have full visibility of the options they sold and they can manipulate the market price of stocks to optimize their side of the options trade. This is why stocks land on round numbers at option expiry time.It is to render the maximum number of options worthless.

I switched to firefox recently. I got myself a framework laptop and run Linux on it and I decided to switch to firefox, principally because Google has been blocking add ons I use like ublock origin and others.

It behaves well. I have no problem with it and it's not blocking the add-ons I use.

Since leaving Intel a year ago, I make my living day trading. I'm doing fine and I can do the mathematics. Random time series analysis is not a challenge for me.

Fidelity apply arbitrary rules that make no sense and generally get in the way of trading. Like day trade violations on days I didn't trade.

I switched to Robin Hood and it's been plain sailing. I make more money on Robin Hood. They don't screw with me. They provide adequate warning if I'm getting close to any limits and they don't hallucinate violations because the AI went wonky.

I haven't seen any significant extra cost. If it's there is miniscule compared to the cost of not being able to sell a stock that then goes down because Fidelity have a rule that robin hood doesn't.

Also robin hood give you access to IPOs. That has been lucrative (CRCL's IPO recently went well with a $33 IPO price). Fidelity never offered IPO access.

The crypto currently stuff is a non event. I ignore it and stick to leveraged index ETF like nature intended.

I count RH as less predatory than the traditional brokers.

They don't care. They are making money selling Linux time on Azure. Windows is dead to them.

Well Microsoft Office turned into a subscription product and that is kinda the same thing.

No they didn't.

Google's surface codes are not sufficient to sustain computation with any real world error rate.
The IBM Bicycle code improves the bounds a little, but still requires physical error rates that are not achievable.

Read the papers. They describe the strength of their codes. From there you can deduce the headlines are lying.

What does the current US president have to do with the UK postal scandal?
Was he a post master in Llanelli? I don't remember that from his many rantings.
