I think they lost something too. I'm still active on a UK car forum called PistonHeads. But the user base changed. We lost the calm, car-focused, informative nature of it. The main…

Some of us will have compliance obligations coming down the line for post-quantum crypto; the gist of which is understanding which algorithms we're using and whether they'll be sui…
