  For the majority of my clients who use this kind of system, it is totally dysfunctional.

  Most of the records are incorrect, my guess is that they occasionally reset the password on mobile while the book is inaccessible and then don’t remember to update it in the book later.

  Effective use relies on the user’s understanding of umbrella accounts. I’ve had users have separate written entries for “Office”, “Skype”, “Hotmail”, and “Windows” because they don’t understand those things are all one Microsoft Account.

  As passwords get updated, it can become a mess of crossed out records with new ones squished into the margins. When a someone dies, anything written illegibly can be difficult for surviving family to discern. As the book gets filled out, it can get tricky to keep things alphabetized unless the user provisioned additional empty space between records.

  This system can work great for someone who is meticulous, neat, and organized.

  For your average person, I’ve had better luck solving the problem with a password manager synced to an online account that is protected by MFA and has recovery options that are also protected by MFA.

  • for the tech inclined

  Managing sync between mobile and desktop is a bit more complicated than average consumers have the patience for (it’s really not very complicated, average consumers are just impatient)

  Those are all going to traumatize whoever finds you, and are otherwise uncomfortable ways to go.

  Dignitas uses nitrous in their pods. Pretty chill way to drift off forever, so long as you ensure a means to get rid of the CO2 to prevent that ‘suffocating’ feeling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teamviewer Terminates Perpetual Licenses⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Teamviewer is such a scummy company.

  • If you sign up for a TeamViewer license, you have 7 days to cancel and get a refund. This does not apply to renewals.
  • Licenses are only available in annual installments.
  • TeamViewer’s license recommendation tool may suggest a license that is greater than your actual need. In my case, the cheaper license that best fit my business use case (one session at a time) was not presented during onboarding.
  • TeamViewer does not offer mid-term downgrades, but does allow mid-term upgrades.
  • You will get a renewal notice 30 days before renewal. TeamViewer requires written notice of cancellation 28 or more days before renewal.
  • TeamViewer does not offer the option for mid-term cancellations and will not grant a prorated refund for the remainder of your unused license time. When you cancel, you are only cancelling the next renewal.

  We got totally boned when our renewal notice went out just before a three day weekend. PayPal and our bank sided with TeamViewer. Apparently, someone tried to sue over this shady practice in California and the court also sided with TeamViewer. Probably would have dodged this bullet if I had thought to scroll through the TeamViewer subreddit, I went with them because I had positive experiences using the free version for personal use.

  Been using RustDesk for years with great success. I especially appreciate the responsible disclosure banners on the main site and GitHub warning users that they might be on the phone with a scam artist.

  IMO, all the proprietary remote access software (Teamviewer, Ultraviewer, Anydesk, Etc) companies are profiting from and therefore complicit in the use of their software to scam people.

  What beep?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old laptop died 🥲⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s normal Inside of the inductor looks like this: Image

  You can also use a multimeter to test across the inductor. It should have no resistance / will beep in continuity mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is my GPU's "3D" usage spiking so wildly when I'm not even playing a game? It keeps throttling up and throttling down and the noise is extremely annoying⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The “3D” graph is really just GPU utilization. There are other aspects of the system that will utilize the GPU, like the Desktop Window Manager or Hardware Acceleration in your web browsers.

  You’re going to want to make sure the noise is indeed coming from the graphics card. CPU will also fluctuate in load / frequency and most fans’ speed logic is bound to that.

  I’ve found that, a lot of the time, this repeated “revving” is the result of something crossing a threshold in the fan curve. Adjusting the fan curve can help avoid that crossing that “cusp” back and forth.

  Very excited for this! Honestly, I don’t understand all the negativity surrounding the devs going dark. I thought the game was fine the way it was shortly after launch. I don’t really get the need for an unending flow of content and updates.
