- Comment on Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today. 1 week ago:
“Unlisted” means you can’t find any of them via search or on the creator’s page. But if you still have the URL, you can view them directly
Which includes public playlists other people have created
- Comment on why 2 weeks ago:
It’s likely the same as English spelling. Just years and years of repeated exposure, and you eventually pick up most of it through osmosis

Yes, and no.
If the password is stored properly (hashed and salted), then a high entropy PW will make it nearly impossible for your PW to be extracted from a database dump / data leak
On the other end, if the PW is stored as plain-text, a high entropy PW is useless.
In between, a weak hash algorithm or no salt, a high entropy PW still makes it much harder to extract, but it depends
In general, 2FA is more secure, since it combines 2 different methods of authentication.
- something you know: password
- something you have: the 2FA token (usually on a phone)
This protects the service (as well as the user) against a broader range of attacks. Such as
- password reuse (which nearly everyone does)
- this is particularly bad, because you’re increasing the chance that a weakly designed system will have it’s data stolen, your reused PW and username included
- phising attempts
- low entropy passwords
- replay attacks
- since 2FA tokens are usually time bases (TOTP), they expire after a few minutes and can’t be reused if an attacker manages to intercept one

This makes me curious how effective that would actually be
It probably depends on the electrical conductivity of WD 40, and whether it corrodes

To be fair
I didn’t notice that either
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 2 months ago:
Install MSEdgeRedirect to solve this problem.
I also recommend O&O Shut Up 10 and StartAllBack
Me: Why go through all that trouble, just install Linux
Alternatively you would switch to Linux.
Welp

I mean, the graphic designer’s job is to get people to look at the book and consider purchasing it
It’s the author’s job to convince them to buy it
So yeah, don’t judge a book by it’s cover

- Comment on Message scheduling is a wonderful thing 💫 4 months ago:
This would only work if their phone was still charged and on
Scheduling a message (at least, on Android) holds the message on the phone, until the date, then it sends it to the cell network
- Comment on Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired? 4 months ago:
I think i chose my terms poorly
In this case, what i meant by “Signal propagation” was purely the time delay from retinal stimulation, to optic nerve, to brain
And by “brain processing”, i meant “the time it takes from brain receives visual data to you experiencing it”
- Comment on Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired? 4 months ago:
I would expect that brain processing takes orders of magnitude longer than signal propagation
So, while you’re probably correct, I’d wager that the brain processing delay drowns out any variances in signal propagation speeda
