You know what, it’s not for me but I’ll give the guy credit, it’s at least somewhat original in the sea of mediocrity that is online dating. A bit of self-depreciation too.

If he’d just worded that first line a bit differently, it might not even come across as creepy, but alas…

The man really is an alien

I’m going to pick a slightly more obscure one: Kane from Command & Conquer.

Exactly, hence why it’s very difficult to run a truly “private” DNS. Your best bet would be to run your own resolver on a VPS or something

You still have to perform lookups by reaching out to the root resolvers.

We have faster charging speeds with lithium today, 800v cars that can charge at 300KW+ have been on the market for half a decade, BYD has launched cars that can charge at 2-3x that speed. The charging infrastructure is the bottleneck there, even if all new cars could charge at those speeds it wouldn’t mean much because hardly any chargers can support it.

Besides it’s almost moot, most EV owners aren’t charging via fast chargers like you would fill up an ICE car, they’re charging at home at much cheaper rates and only using fast chargers for particularly long trips.

Sodium batteries are real though. You can buy them today, their big promise was that they would be cheaper than lithium batteries because sodium is abundant and readily available whereas lithium is a rare mineral. Then lithium prices fell through the floor and the value proposition failed, at least for now. They’re also not as energy dense, which is probably what will hold then back from EV use for a while yet, but the claim around being safer holds up.

I’m not entirely sure what the “maintenance burden” even is on a tech that hasn’t changed in decades.

Only because of current RAM prices and artificial scarcity keeping those prices high.

300GB of RAM shouldn’t be that expensive. I have 1/3 of that in my server (bought years ago). If it wasn’t for the AI bullshit, 300GB would be fairly reasonable to buy in a couple of years time.

To be fair, not to defend the CEO at all but when this story first broke it was so wild that you knew someone had to be making up some serious bullshit but it was just so out there, it could have been either side.

Why anyone decided to pick sides is beyond me, this is why courts exist.

Yeah I never quite understood why when something “sucks” it’s a bad thing, but when something “blows” it’s also bad? Yet a good blow job or suck job is the best!

No, just filthy.

I’m very fortunate that my partner loved giving blow jobs, she’ll even just randomly start sucking my dick unprompted because she’s filthy and enjoys it so much.

That said when I met her, she wasn’t as keen on receiving but luckily enough I have been able to warm her up to it more, because I love eating her delicious cunt.

From the paper itself:

We had a video-conference and numerous email exchanges with Bitwarden. At the time of writing, they are well advanced in deploying mitigations for our attacks: BW01, BW03, BW11, BW12 were addressed, the minimum KDF iteration count for BW07 is now 5000, and their roadmap includes completely removing CBC-only encryption, enforcing per-item keys and changing the vault format for integrity. On 22.12.25 they shared with us a draft for a signed organisation membership scheme, which would resolve BW08 and BW09. At our request, to maintain anonymity, they have not yet credited us publicly for the disclosure, but plan to do so.

I didn’t look at the response to other Password managers, but the gist here is that the article is overblowing the paper by quite a bit and the majority of the “issues” discovered are either already fixed, or active design decisions.

Several years ago I got an email about my rockstar account - someone had guessed the password and logged in, they were trying to change the email address. Luckily I’d managed to stop it in time and recovered the account.

Several years later, I decided to give GTA Online a go, I logged in and found I had billions in cash and loads of property and cars. I guess that they must have been nodding while using my account.

But I didn’t get banned so free stuff I guess?
