I'm not surprised to be honest. In the city I currently live in, since moving here a year ago, I've never even gotten the bus because an uber is maybe twice the price but 10x more …

I used to use SuperGenPass[1] to do exactly this, but what you'll soon find is that every website has slightly different password rules, so you'll have to start memorizing unique s…

Except when you're on the home screen; long press will let you wiggle icons and force touch will let you get app shortcuts.

This is what it's like in Scotland!! People here get SO angry, thinking that you have "skipped" all the other patiently waiting people... And then they don't let you merge! And it …

I always thought of The Verge as Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel, and Paul Miller... It's been kinda of a so-and-so website in the past year, so I'm not surprised he's leaving before …

I've contacted AirBnB regarding several unprofessional experiences, and I've found that AirBnB themselves were quite amateur. This has changed, and AirBnB are starting to grow up. …

It's just too much work to type it all in all the time... (Has nothing to do with spreadsheets etc... I also get fed up of calorie counting apps and fitness apps as entering data i…

I once tried to keep a spreadsheet (Apple's Numbers) for fuel cost / consumption / mileage, etc. for my car. I found Numbers to do the job best, but still got fed up of trying to d…

I've been looking for a nice Markdown editor on Mac. Hopefully this one will be it. Are there any others I should look at?

(unfortunately) The more I think about this, the more flaws I find... I looked through pastor.py and essentially you're just creating a different password. There's no difference be…

But what I don't understand is, if the password is never stored, how can you allow for logins, etc.? I mean, there must be a way of comparison, or something? I think perhaps I'm ha…

I'm not sure if I quite understand this - so you're hashing the pass-phrase+doorID, and then storing that? Doesn't that mean that the hashed, well, generated password is always the…

The AirBnB logo is far more triangular, if that makes sense. The lines coming down from the top towards the bottom left/right are very straight (EDIT: essentially it's a fancy "A" …

Although I've never been an active cannabis user as the study describes it, I tried the drug on several occasions in high school and at university. I've always felt paranoid whilst…

I agree with the first part, but I've been pretty impressed by the security used and developed in iOS: http://www.apple.com/ipad/business/docs/iOS_Security_Feb14.p... At the end of…

You don't actually need a mobile at all. You could have this run as a browser plugin, but the point of having SQRL on a mobile is that it's seperate from what you're trying to log …

A smartphone isn't any less secure than a laptop... I could say "lost your laptop and you give away the keys to everything" just as you said the same for smartphone... It's up to t…

I can't wait for Steve Gibon's SQRL [0] to take off... Would hinder keyloggers useless. [0] https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl.htm

The ONLY reason I've ever put eggs in the fridge is because my fridge has an egg tray... I tend to put my shopping in similar places as where the supermarket had put them, so thing…

BT said the exact same, like really really similar; Thank you for your email. It is our understanding that the Data Retention (EC Directive) Regulations 2009 remains in force withi…

haha, that's a great one, and totally true. "Normal" time won't dissapear, so this is just adding another timezone so to speak. However, I'm actually liking the idea of reviving .b…

Virgin Media have replied to some users already - here's the email (copied from the Open Rights Group blog post[1]) Virgin Media's response says: “...We have also been in contact w…

I did consider switching to them, but the plan I looked at (Fiber to the cabinet and a higher 200GB download cap) comes in at £50 + (as far as I'm aware) BT line rental, so around …
