_zer0··on Windows 11 growth slows as millions stick with Windows 10
Same. I gave up on Windows 11 and removed it. Too many issues, but the final straw was when they deleted GRUB after an update. I kept it around to play games but decided to play on Linux instead and it’s been good so far.

Also, I hated that I kept getting the screen trying to sell me their services after some updates…

I think sneak would volunteer to do it since it is pretty simple according to them.

They thought Trump would be a useful idiot that they could control.
_zer0··on Lastpass Security Incident
My work provides me with a 1Password subscription (for both work personal use) that I take advantage of that is pretty good. I think they only require you to reauthenticate with your master password once every two weeks or something. I use a PIN, biometrics, or my Apple Watch to unlock it when it timeouts in between that two week period, and I've had no problems syncing between several of my devices.
_zer0··on Lastpass Security Incident
I haven't tried, but I am not on the phone with support much as I go to great lengths to avoid calling haha. The one time I had to verify my security question, I told the representative that its a long, random character string and they waited for me to open up my password manager to read it out to them.
_zer0··on Lastpass Security Incident
I generate the password and stored them in my password manager under the notes. 1Password added functionality seemingly recently to add security questions and generate a random word string that I use these days.
_zer0··on Lastpass Security Incident
Same. I use random passwords for any required security questions. It is funny when you call customer support and they ask you to verify a security question though.

_zer0··on Linux containers in 500 lines of code (2016)
Only the first few lines of the script look dense. Everything else looks normal to me.
