well if it's purely home use mousepad, then, seriously, get a razer gigantus (thick), benq g-sr (moderately thick), or steelseries qck/qck+ (thin). they all are large, cheap, washable, and moderately tacky at best. if you want a carpet pad (the huge slab that goes under your entire keyboard too) or a hard mat (piece of brushed metal basically), let me know. for all the poo poo "gamer" gear rightfully gets, especially for absolutely ripoff trash audio for idiot children, they've actually got mousepads figured out if you look at base models and not slabs of anodised hanzo steel with artisanal rgb backlight

actually wrong razer opinion. they have only two legitimately good non-mousepad products, but the mousepads are mighty fine, and nowadays even come in mildly tacky varieties

i dont get the carpet pads myself either since every keyboard has grips, i just know that a friend of mine uses one, and that its a thing in general

thinking more about carpet pads and all i can figure out their worth for is that you somehow have an extremely lovely/uncomfortable surface (glass, unsanded wood, rusty metal idk why are you're computer in a derelict soviet warehouse?) and you use it as a literal hand rug

im not sure to be honest. i got sent an mms from an iphone in russia, so there's 25 things that could have gone wrong there, including the person misidentifying whatever they sent as an "mms". either way, that's the only mms i've received in 10 years now, i think, if not more, so who cares

there's very little difference between them imo. just shape, size, material (which are all interchangeable and irrelevant), and how slippery the surface is. some people like it when you can push the mouse and it'll slide off the pad, i prefer "grippy" surfaces. ive got a discounted razer goliathus speed (its fairly grippy surface, compared to g-sr) and its p fine too, also decently large (35x45cm i think). goliathus control is probably the only slippines outlier, its real grippy, everything else is fairly similar to each other (qck/g-sr tend to be a bit slippier, unless you get a qck special edition with printed stuff over it, that slows the mouse down)

You're already dead

I started trying to use Safari instead of Chrome and so far I guess I like it? Lastpass / uBlock Origin being cross browser basically means there's no reason not to just switch freely, and Safari FINALLY added the ability to use ⌘-# to switch to that numbered tab so it's actually usable

a long time ago i turned on encryption for my iphone backups

apparently the password got mangled when I transferred it into the PW manager I later adopted.

it looks like there is no way to change the backup password, except to wipe the iphone and put a fresh image on it.

even if I have the lock screen password and thus access to the entirety of the phone... hypothetically I could probably hook up some overpriced fbi dongle and snarf everything up, but I can't just go "hey, I have physical access to this phone, all of it's files, and my twofactor key. let's set a new backup password".

I've generated backup codes for all my 2F apps and set up iTunes to move photos and stuff to my macbook but THANKS A LOT STEVE

that has nothing to do w/ encryption, iTunes just deletes everything on any device ever plugged into it. that's just what it does.

basically yes, i literally just did this today and while it very slightly heavier at least it doesn't have that huge gently caress-off bezel and tiny screen
