  • When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?

    Jump

  • when it breaks, which is not very often so around 5-6 years. this P9PXL is getting quite a lot of software support though, so ideally I'll keep it around longer than that.

    unfortunately I know people who get a new phone once simply the battery starts to go bad, as if there wasn't a less expensive way to fix that issue. :(

  • Are password managers secure to use?

    Jump

  • Remembering (and inevitably) forgetting passwords for all your different accounts is inconvenient, frustrating, and arguably less secure than a randomly generated password unique to each account.

    Additionally, it can be tempting to reuse passwords for multiple accounts, which is trouble when a less-than-reputable service that you used that password on is breached, since that password wasn't unique.

    If you use an open-source, tried and true password manager (Bitwarden, Vaultwarden, KeePassXC) and keep a passphrase unique to that password manager only, you avoid the problems above which are way more likely to occur than Bitwarden passwords getting breached in plaintext, or a security vulnerability to the KeePass database.

    Plus, most password managers offer support for passkeys, which are easier to register/use than passwords. They usually only require a "verify with passkey" button on a given website.

    Bottom line, password managers are probably (definitely) more secure than any other reasonable solution that anyone has come up with.

    only phone I've ever catastrophically broken by drop is a Galaxy S20; curved screen edges are bad for durability. glad most phone manufacturers have axed it now.

  • can't be heartbreaking if you don't have a heart

  • Do you believe in free will?

    Jump

  • no. events and our decisions are abstracted far enough so that the illusion of free will is apparent. I think it's very well impossible to fully distinguish between free will and fate from our limited perspective

  • Which of these javascript expressions is false?

    Jump

  • probably not true in most other langauges. although I'm not well versed in the way numbers are represented in code and what makes a number "NaN", something tells me the technical implications of that would be quite bad in a production environment.

    the definitive way to check for NaN in JS would probably be something like

     
        
// with `num` being an unknown value

// Convert value to a number
const res = Number(num);

/*
 * First check if the number is 0, since 0 is a falsy
 * value in JS, and if it isn't, `NaN` is the only other
 * falsy number value
 */
const isNaN = res !== 0 && !res;

    Arch Wiki has a guide on FDE using the TPM and it's transparent in my everyday usage

    some minor issues I see are:

    • Secure Boot needing to be disabled then re-enabled during install for it to work as intended
    • needing to write down a long backup passphrase, but this also happens on Windows and MacOS iirc
