Hello Hunters, and welcome to the New World!

Googly Eyed Chameleon Bird

Make sure to grab as many healing herbs and honey as you can in the field to have super potions and, above all, have fun expending your insatiable bloodlust on fictional megafauna.

Basically, I'm playing Monster Hunter World again. Drop me a line if you play on PS4. I'm about to get started on the Iceborne content soon.

    I just discovered I can remote play my PS4 from my iPad. I had no idea.

    Going to try and actually play some red dead while
    I’m traveling.

    can you feel the struggle within?

    Coincidentally, someone I met a couple of weeks ago called San Francisco a toilet.

    He lives in Columbus and prefers Vegas to SF and comes off as a serial killer so take his opinion as you will.

    at any rate, Six, I'm pretty sure you need to be on the same wifi as your PS4 to remote play.

    Oh really? Well that’s stupid

    I don’t think this is true. We will see how well play over the Internet works.

    IDK if i want to trust 1 company with all my passwords to be honest.

    This is reasonable, though I should note most password vaults store your passwords in such a way that the company doesn't know the keys.

    That said, if this is a concern you can go the route I did. It's more manual and until I got a phone with a biometric lock it was a pain in the ass on mobile, but I've been using this system for almost 10 years now and haven't had any issues.

    My program of choice is called KeePass 2. My password safe itself is stored in Dropbox, and synchronized to all my devices that I care to have my password manager on. I then installed the software on those devices (work PC, home PC, and mobile phone). The computers auto-update and synchronize, and the phone I need to manually download a new copy if I know I've updated a password.

    From there, I have plugins for Chrome and Firefox that will read the vault when it is open and prompt me for passwords to enter, or I can copy/paste from the clipboard.

    The weak part of the setup is my Dropbox password, as I need that to set up a new PC. However if a hacker was to get that it's still a unique password to all my other ones, and while they would have the encrypted vault, they would need to crack it (And I deliberately have it set at a pretty high encryption standard). If I really wanted to go all out, I would store my Dropbox password in Keepass, creating a chicken & the egg scenario, but that's a step further than I want to go.

    Also make sure your master password is somewhere physical (perhaps in a safety deposit box) so that if anything were to happen to you, your friends and/or family could get access to your accounts. The friend who taught me to use keepass actually keeps a USB backup of the file in his safety deposit box that he updates periodically. But he's a lot more strict with security than I am and also has a family to watch out for...

    I've got an 8AM vendor call and I reallllllly don't want to. :( I mean I do because I've been trying to fix this issue for months and the vendor's rescheduled on us for a week now after finally having the engineers available, but it's also 8AM!

    (I use the word "also" too much.)

    My apologies. I forgot to mention my Keepass setup is 100% free.

    I never paid anything for LastPass and it works great. Browser plugins and mobile apps so entering passwords is basically seamless, tied to TouchID/FaceID, and all long, complex, and unique. Lastpass also does lent have access to my keys so even if they get hacked, my passwords are safe.

    When I need to log into a website, it asks for touch or Face ID, fills it in, and I’m good.

    Here, The wirecutter has a REALLY good article on password managers and what to expect. They discount my choice because of the needing plugins for non-Windows support, but that's okay as I don't bother with Macs anyways. ;-)

    Edit: LastPass Free is their budget recommendation.

    No. They have a premium offering but I never paid for it.

    I don’t know if all the functionality I’m using is still free, but I’ve never paid anything.

    That said, I would 100% pay for lastpass tho. It’s a totally integral part of my life and worth it.

    Cheaping out on security is a good way to get screwed down the line.

    if it helps, what you've watched so far is by far the worst parts! I know people say this about everything all the time but it really does get a lot better!

    and while this might be faint praise, the high points of that show are definitely the best thing to come out of the prequel era and make, if not the movies themselves, the story they tell better

    on the other hand, it's 2020 - you don't have to watch Star Wars anymore!

    Having to only remember 1 password of a strong passphrase complexity is a wonder, even if it means I mistype it on my work PC often. I have it set to auto-lock after 2 minutes of inactivity or if the computer locks, because I'm an admin and I don't want that kind of thing open. Heck, my work password manager is less secure.

    I should note I have about 200+ passwords in my vault, a mix of personal and professional. Passwords add up once you start thinking about them.

    1Password is, in my opinion, a better tool than lastpass from a security perspective, but there is no "free" 1password option and honestly both of them are a billion times better than what most people do.

    For me, X-Men was the hard franchise to let go of. I mean, we watched the Star Wars movies as kids, but we watched the X-men animated series, bought the comics, and played with the toys. Also, mutants were objectively cooler than jedi, sorry not sorry.

    But at a certain point I realized that I don't enjoy them anymore! And the fact that they're part of the all-creating, all-consuming media beast nowadays is helpful for moving on.

    My new phone does fingerprint recognition through a spot on the screen. Odd to remove it. Must've been another 100um in thinness on the quest for a phone that doubles as a box cutter.

    Also, in today's unbearably queer moment, Spotify--which is a robot and incapable of irony--put the song "A Little Bit Alexis" from Schitt's Creek in my discovery queue. The point of the show, and song, is that the Alexis character is a horrifying Paris Hilton knockoff. Which is what I get for listening to the actual Paris Hilton?

    I mean, that's a pretty poor excuse. They could have a sensor somewhere without needing a physical button.
