if you're scrolled above a full address form and half of it is off screen do you think autofill should fill the whole form or just the fields you can see???

I think there's no realistic way the autofiller could ensure that all fields are visible+obvious to the user, so may as well just have the autofill bring up a prompt saying 'about to fill these fields: <bulleted list>, look good?'

Then at least a user has an opportunity to think 'why does it want to fill in my address wtf'

I mean that does zero protection against someone clicking through and maybe the real solution is to have the user just type that poo poo in but there you go

You're just training the user to hit the enter key after doing an autofill without reading what it says.

My battery powered washing machine is going to have trouble accessing the internet during a power cut since my router is not also battery powered.

Wouldn't the power company have their own meter to tell them this anyway

the meter knows if the house has lost power, not the appliance, dumbass. look up peak load and stop being stupid.

fwiw i really like 1password so far but i don't like that i'm going to have to pay for it

i was paying for lastpass until they made it free to use on devices

i sorta prefer the idea of paying for something like a password manager tbh

so how many lastpass apologists do we have left?

Tried 1password. Apparently theres no support whatsoever on linux. The browser extensions require that the desktop app also be installed.

So lastpass it is then

if they're anything like the ATI sirens in San Francisco, they're controlled via (optionally encrypted) FSK via a city radio, on whatever system the city uses for comms

if they're not, they're probably controlled with unencrypted telnet or some poo poo

i wonder if san mateo county tsunami/earthquake sirens are the same deal

if you live somewhere cold then it'll probably offset your heating bill at least

Electric heating is expensive, if you live somewhere cold you're hopefully using heating oil, natural gas, or propane

e: nm thought those things were electric, looks like they're not

Hi all,

Last week, we were contacted by Australian law enforcement, on behalf of
German law enforcement, about one of our relays.

It appears that some law enforcement agency had performed a guard
discovery attack on a hidden service. One of our relays was that hidden
service's guard. They requested that we provide a detailed network
capture of that guard's traffic. We refused. (We do not keep detailed
logs.) We also shut down the guard.
