Also, can I add a backup key without having the private key with me? Ideally I would like to keep a master key in a vault, to recover compromised accounts and such, but requiring m…

Doesn't "police informant" include whistleblowers and other useful roles? I don't see why a person who reports lack of PPE on a worksite should be grouped with a cop that asks for …

Most fire hydrants are never used either, but we don't consider them wasted. In your opinion, what chance of QC would warrant PQC migration? Would you be ok with a 20% chance of ev…

Having read the article, I still don't understand the point of 3D modeling emoji. Even the user interviews didn't mention it, and problems like "what the back of a smiling face loo…

Note that this is for the "aviation plan" which already requires six-digits equipment.

I had seen both of these. The add-on implementation is too complicated and affects too many systems (contacts, attachments, etc) that change frequently, so it had many subtle bugs …

I had tried this, but the grouping only happened among messages of each folder. And Sent is a separate folder, so it doesn't get included. Or did I miss something? Do you see your …

I tried Thunderbird recently, and was baffled that there seemed to be no way to see received emails grouped with my responses to them (aka threading or conversations). Even groupin…

It's just a syllable of the whole name, which is a German surname in a certain old dialect. And its pronunciation has been mangled after 150 in a country that can't pronounce it pr…

"Sh" to "s" is simple enough. Sounds horrible to my ears, but maybe not to someone named Stavros ;). I've also been told that the double-p of Boppre looks alien in Greek. And the "…

In my experience, every compound given name is made of very traditional names (with some specific combos like Roberto Antonio and Maria Eduarda being especially popular), so it has…
