Good morning you glorious mf'ers. It's Friday. It's a GREAT day to remember who YOU are and where YOU came from, and every cut and learning experience that made you just who the hell you are. And if somebody has the audacity to speak up tell them they better put that shit back where they got it.1/

On some social hellsite, someone posted a vid saying it was showing the utility that he coded proving Edge stores your save PW in Ram in the clear (not encrypted)..... Then he posts the link. Sure, let me run right out and run software from some rando thats going to interface with passwords. LOL

So like when you run across a company that flat requires passkey, and refuses to setup any way but with photoID what is your move there? Especially when the ID handing subcontractor has already had one breech in the past 5 years.

The amount of nationalistic xenophobic paranoia around the Sipeed KVM product is honestly sickening. It uses a retail board made for general use that has a Mic. It includes some closed source. It's software, maintained by the Chinese company who made it references servers and DNS in China. 1/
