KeePassXC, just remember that one master password and have many copies of the .kdbx file. I have even abandoned Authy, and just use the TOTP functions in KeePassXC. Only an all drive disaster or memory lapse on my part will breach my passwords.

So it would have been another Google Stadia, which failed. Did they expect anything different?

Dell Refurb site just had a 40% off sale on anything that ended on Monday. They usually run sales on holidays like MLK, 4th of July. All of those laptops are way overpriced unless they are running a sale.

Best bang for your buck would be a Dell Refurbished or outlet laptop. I bought a Dell Vostro 3350 with i5 2450m back in 2012 that has a 1275 single thread score. Last year I bought a Latitude e5470 with i5 6440hq with single core score of 2018.

I bought three straight disappointing flash drives. The Samsung Bar 32 and 64GB, at the same time, and the Gorilla USB3 64GB. All three have good read speeds of 150MBs or so but the write speeds are pathetic at 18-25 MB/s plus all three have an annoying pausing every couple of seconds while...

Don't worry, there is a current solution for that. ; )

A story about the dumbing down of the world. Young people can't even use a computer and know anything about file folders and where to save things. We might as well have AI and robots just build the turbines for the jet engines. The problem is who will be smart enough to program the AI until...

I just remembered that Google acquired Neverware which makes CloudReadyOS, the Google Chrome alternative. I bet Google will launch an ad campaign and tell people with systems that don't support Win11 to switch over to ChromeOS that can be installed on any computer. This might do well since...

Does anyone know if MS is going to put Bitlocker on Win 11 Home by default? I think they want the TPM 2.0 thing for Spectre/Meltdown protection, as well as disk encryption, just like Apple does with the T2 chip. MS doesn't control the hardware, so they need to put a certain condition on...

I am still running a Dell Vostro 3350 with Sandy Bridge i5, 8GB, SSD (for past 3 years). It still runs well, but I can feel the age of the laptop when browsing certain sites, like Youtube. Screen, hinge and keyboard are still good. I had to replace the battery, and I opened it up early last...

Maybe Dell should approach "Advanced Sustainability" by having PCs be fixable and with components that can be swapped out when bad, instead of chucking out the whole PC. I'm not saying that just Dell does it, Apple, Samsung, HP and others. This all has to do with Right 2 Repair. Maybe the...

Just like they tell us that our businesses and jobs are non essential. tell them they are non essential by not watching their non essential woke movies and shows.

This is why we need to stop buying products and services that have subscriptions or need to be linked to an account. That is the only way to show the companies that we don't want this garbage.

Apple will probably claim it as an administration fee. Apple needs all the money they can get because they are building an east coast campus in the Raleigh, NC area. Remember, convenience = loss of freedom, especially when it comes to big tech companies.

Buying stuff from the Apple store doesn't mean you own it, you are just renting it. All of this streaming of video and music, IoT devices and appliances, and software as a service is prepping us for The Great Reset when according to their own video, "You will own nothing and be happy". In the...
