You want to make sure the Voltage matches or bad things can happen. The current and Wattage can be the same or higher, it will only draw as much as it needs.

You can do everything you need to do on an old laptop… you don’t need a desktop. You just need to make sure you disable any of the power saving settings so it can stay on all the time but then enable a display-off type of screen saver.

I think you could make the argument that people working from home don’t drive as much and so are putting less wear and tear on their vehicles which mean they last longer which means they aren’t getting replaced as often which leads to reduced new car sales.

Of course, I think one could also make the argument that people are realizing what a POS Elon is and there are more and more electric vehicles to choose from which is probably the more likely reason for the reduced sales at Tesla.

Bitwarden has a free tier but then you can pay for additional things like 2FA.

Though I believe you could also self-host and get the additional features without paying Bitwarden.

Yes, 100%… In fact, I often do recommend it to others. Personally I use Bitwarden (paid account even) but I’ve also recommended 1pass to apple only users because it fits well in that ecosystem.

You can use them to generate a different password for each and every login. And it’s really just random letters, number and special characters. That one site gets compromised? They can’t then use those credentials to login anywhere else.

You don’t have to remember those passwords. Passwords that are easy to remember are probably found in dictionary attacks. You know what’s not? Wt2Pwi#$a@Nzeq7*8UwSJ7sTsMKdC!HSGZZ7JnzCtxhfCfFCiXP&FD!yM!c^$DisSR@2 (which I just generated with bitwarden)

2-factor auth is also really easy with most password managers and makes logging in with 2-factor auth easy. I hit one hotkey to fill in the web form with my username/password, hit enter to login and then it auto-copies my TOTP code so I can just paste it and go. Super secure but super easy.

You go to a phishing site? Guess what, a good password manager will store the url and if it doesn’t match, that should be your first red flag. If I end up at g00gle.com instead of google.com, it won’t show as having a login available.

Oooh, I like this idea… I’ve thought about running vaultwarden but like you I pay for bitwarden premium because I think it’s critical for me and I like the service and want to see them continue. Using it as a backup, then I can still support them and run my own backup.
