Do you have a family member or a close friend who is tech savvy and is also using BW? If yes - you could set up an emergency access, so that they can initiate an account takeover should you somehow entirely lose access to everything and need it recovered. The original intent is to take control of an account of a deceased person.

If that’s not an option - just save your master PW somewhere offline. Another person suggested paper, but honestly evaluate your own threat levels and consider having an offline backup of it on a device that never connects to the internet (e.g. a flash drive that you only connect with the internet turned off). You can also make an offline export of your vault onto that USB in case you get locked out and need at least your data recovered. Generally don’t overthink your master PW, a 10 word passphrase with a number is good enough, if it’s not a grammatical sentence - even better, it can even be not in English. There are also ways you can “salt” your PW in addition, say, your PW is hello-friend-joke-inventing5, you can save it as housing2-hello-friend-joke-inventing500 and just remember to remove the extras. If you are not specifically targeted and don’t click on fishing links, then honestly even if you save your master PW in your own BW vault nothing will happen, even less so if it’s salted.

The only way to truly mess up your vault is to change keys without logging out your devices, but BW explicitly warns you at each step of that process, so it’s up to you not to ignore the warnings.

I installed Cachy on a GTX980 PC, but had to use nomodeset, so if you wanna install some distros that are using incompatible drivers in the live ISO give nomodeset a try.

Oh is that why that happens? I just thought Nouveau drivers were incompatible with old Nvidia cards.

Non profit + partnerships (e.g. Google/Bing/whatever posting your articles on their start pages) and/or government grants (strictly with no strings attached).

DNS blocking is a paper wall indeed. However, this is just a step one. VPNs are already a target, so this will help them with justifying step 2 - introducing DPI to monitor all traffic and proactively block new VPNs and other obfuscation methods. Step 3 is more or less final, it’s when they realize this is also not quite as efficient as they’d like and they’ll get tired of the constant cat and mouse game, so the solution would have to be whitelisting approved websites and blocking everything else. It’s amazing for billionaires and their corpos as that makes it nearly impossible for new projects to enter the market, and it’s great for governments that desperately want to be authoritarian, but pesky constitutions, privacy laws and some such are getting in the way.

Ahhhh, there comes the american own great firewall, fantastic…

Wonder if we will suddenly see this same bullshit pop up in all the pro age verification countries now or a tad later to make it less obvious.

100%, though I hope they expand on the freeflying and let you also approach planets and land manually, even if all it does is the same loading in as from the map but with a disguised loading screen in a form of you approaching the landing spot instead.

That’s actually part of the motivation behind russian internet isolation, their head bitch leading the charge on it believes that the internet “violates the existence of borders in the world”.

First 4 are disabled on unsupported systems anyway (4 is also sometimes disabled to squeeze out gaming performance), but 5 is scary as hell.

Rufus can still bypass every single W11 requirement and automatically complete the setup for you, including a local account.

You’d think, but Joelemz is doing 100% of all CoD’s on his YT/Twitch and people are cheating in old CoD games on consoles. If there’s online there are going to be cheaters. I even encountered some in old Chivalry…

Definitely a performance problem, no HW acceleration on PC produces the same insanely stuttery scroll.

Yeah that’s basically what you do, but the keyboard’s firmware needs to report itself as a gamepad for it to work, Wooting offers xinput and HID modes, iirc Keychron only does xinput and then Razer I don’t remember. Unfortunately the next best thing was some smaller company that had very limited beta support for such modes, and no other company gives a shit at all.

Alternatively Steam Input would have to add support for keyboards&mice, but the suggestions on Steam forums has been unanswered since 2021, so I highly doubt it would happen any time soon.

On the off chance one of your desired features is gamepad emulation - Wooting is the only one that has a full proper implementation of it via xinput emulation. Keychron has partial support and Razer has full support but in a different manner (don’t remember the specifics).

While the increase is not a huge deal because the total is still cheaper than alternatives, the thing that irks me is how they did indeed just announce it via a blog post titled “Bitwarden launches enhanced premium plan: Complete online security for everyone”. This reads like there’s going to be free, premium and premium+ at best, and “we are just adding more stuff to the premium” at worst, not implying a price bump, at least to me. I did not get my renewal email yet, so can’t confirm whether or not they don’t even mention the annual price, but rather just the monthly one. Another thing that kind of bothers me is that they list “Vault health alerts” as a new thing, while it’s always been there. While “Phishing blocker” just seems like a feature outside of the scope of a password manager.

All in all, double the price in exchange for x5 more storage and x2 more hardware keys is fine to me, but I hope they improve their communication and actually properly inform users of upcoming pricing changes.

Mandatory military service breeds corruption and violence, there’s a reason many countries abolished it. You are putting hundreds of dumbass teenage boys, whose parents weren’t rich enough to afford a waiver, all together governed by people who intentionally went into service (often not the brightest kind to say the least) and expect good things to happen. Countries that have immediate concern for invasions from neighbours should invest in an actual paid standing army, if they can’t - too fucking bad.

And have you tried running said built-in wireguard on ISPs that block it? Spoiler: you can’t.

Ultimately the end goal is going to become using whitelists, as what some of the aforementioned countries have implemented/are implementing as we speak. Do not delude yourself into thinking that just because there will be at least some way to send a very short, lightweight message out into the world and receive a similarly small response while remaining undetected, then it has to mean that you as an everyday Joe will be able to browse yourfavourite.site as if it didn’t get blocked. Stop this while you still can, don’t count on incompetence or existing circumvention methods.

Ironically the install ISO actually went up in size from roughly 5.5GB to 7.5GB in the recent months.
