Why would you want it to automatically grab money from your savings? Wouldn’t you just want to transfer that yourself?

I feel like it’s an extra guardrail that if somebody tries to pull 3000$ from your bank account and you only have 500 there that it can only pull the 500 and not the additional 2500 from your savings account?

If just one or those passwords gets leaked you might find a lot of other ones get cracked as well.

It may not be sites that you care about. But using a password manager is a lot less effort and a lot safer than whatever technique the average Joe will come up with.

Any password that leaks which could indicate a potential system ( e.g.: sitename in lower/upper/leetspeak) makes the whole thing even more vulnerable.

Just use something. Bitwarden, vault warden, keepassxc, …

Knowing my social circle I’d recommend bitwarden. Even paying for it costs a measly 10$/year, while the free version is very usable in itself. And generating passphrases or 32char passwords will be a lot safer than whatever the hell they can come up with.

Just avoid the default browser ones, big tech and LastPass.

How do you expect a degree to be worth something if the only proof they have of you taking the exam fairly is “trust me bro”.

If you take an exam for AWS in a managed center you do it on their computer with a person watching you on a camera and listening to your desk with microphones.

If you take the same exam at home you’re monitored by a remote employee constantly looking at you. You have to show the room you’re in to prove there’s nobody there.

If you don’t want the latter you take the former.

From my personal point of view I feel the school should offer a way to do the exam in person and on a device provided by the school which they know is secure if you so desire as a student. Perhaps that’s not possible in the college you’re attending. Or it’s a fully remote course.

In any case. They school needs some guarentee that you aren’t cheating. Either by attending in person, or by having a “secure browser”.

Secure browser meaning a way for them to check you aren’t just searching the web/LLM/course material for the answer ( or an external party helping/doing the exam for you ).

Unfortunately none of that is possible without looking at your room, listening to the environment you’re working in and have you work in a browser they know isn’t tampered with and isn’t being minimized/left unfocused to do something else.

If you’re worried about what happens with the recording post exam you’re better off asking them rather than assuming they use it for whatever. They likely have to store it for a certain amount of time before it’s deleted.

I don’t know about that specific browser. But there is something similar in use in schools here. Basically they know when you’re leaving the browser window ( e.g.: to open a text file or a different browser ). Other features probably are that they can monitor you through your webcam and/or listen to your audio as you are making the test. The reason is so you don’t have somebody under your desk reading you the answers. Or you don’t have your course book open while making the exam.

The school could honestly provide the alternative to go make the tests in the school itself under supervision on paper or on a school device.

It’s a secure anti-cheating browser, not a secure privacy/anonimity/hardened browser.

It’s not meant for day-to-day use. Only for making the exams.

You can always get a secondary cheapo device purely for the exams ( or an old laptop).

Apparently they looked at it and had issues and bugs with arch which could not be fixed:

Would I be in this situation if I took fedora, a distro that has withstood the test of time? Yes.

Bazzite being fairly new is completely besides the point.

Bazzite and the rest of universal Blue would rather call them a custom install of Fedora rather than a distro IIRC.

Bazzite shutting down would be tragic ( for me ). I’ve been quite happy with it. Slowly convincing people to switch. Bazzite was also a relatively low step compared to fixing them a standard distro as all the stuff they want/need is already readily available.

Telling people I decided to promote another distro because the old one stopped is only going to make me have to restart my efforts with an additional hurdle ( how do you know this one won’t stop ).

I tried a few distros. But I didn’t like garuda very much, nobara was okay’ish. Bazzite really clicked for some reason, despite needing a bit of getting used to.

I’d hate to go distro hunting again. Or try and update cpu schedulers and not brick the whole system.

You’d expect governments to sue over this. Instead they’ll queue up to buy the data

Note about the proton thing. The game will start but not let you start any competitive game ( unsure about workshop/casual) but it does start.

I tried this when I had issues with cs2 and my Nvidia card. I switched back to the native one because I couldn’t play the proton version.

So i don’t think you’ll get banned for it, it just won’t work. Except if you try to shoehorn/hack the proton version to be able to join competitive games. But that’s a whole other reason to get banned.

Not having any issues anymore since I switched to team red. Though sadly that doesn’t help your case :(.

I’d keep an eye out on the GitHub repo. It’s where I found an issue w.r.t. my Nvidia card at the time and once they found the issue and fixed it it got patched in quite fast.

And using a simple system means that once somebody figures out the system, all your passwords become compromised potentially.

Dear tiktok,

You don’t have to comply with it. You can also get out of the EU. Trust me, it’s the easiest way.

Bye!

At least that rootkit anti-cheat prevents all the cheaters. There totally aren’t any cheaters in games protected by rootkit anti cheat systems like in valorant. Right? Riiiiiiight?

Fuck em. I’ll stick with games that work on steam deck and Linux then.

Yeah it is kind of like the “trust, but verify” paradigm. It will likely generate useful code or a very good starting point, but you should always check if it actually does what you expect it to.

You can’t trust them blindly. But They’re very helpful in your day to day tasks.

What bugs? I dont think I’ve actually run into any bugs?

Strange. The PC game pass still shows it has access to the latest releases ans is only 12$ ( in the article twitter link )

Blizzard used to do that as well with world of Warcraft updates IIRC ( during vanilla )

At least the floppy fits in a standard envelope ( as long ad we’re talking about the 3.5" )

Talk about a reverse UNO card.

They dont need to know any commands.

Everything in Linux is point and click. There’s an app store where you’ll find everything you’ll need. You will not need to open the terminal at all. All drivers will get installed through the OS.

Only things which do not work are the keyboard software and stuff to map macros to your keys and/or mouse buttons ans tweak the colours. Like the Razor software.

Distros like Ubuntu, popos, Linux mint are incredibly beginner friendly. There are, without a doubt, others.

They didn’t need to know any cmd/powershell commands using windows and they definitely don’t need to know how to use a Linux terminal to browse/mail/install software on Linux.
