Oh hell, mine too back in August. Guess I’ll have to take it out drinking next year.

Yeah I heard something like that too, but I never heard of any success.

Every time I see a post about Spore, I get sad I never played Dark Spore (despite owning it) before it got shut down.

Oh I know, I was just being a pedantic shit, mostly because linguistically we always say we put clothing on even if we’re on the clothing.

You put your feet on your boots? Weird, I put my boots on my feet. 🤔😂

To each their own. I get the need to have historical chat and all, and I run a Mattermost server for friends for the last few years and I depend on history there too. But on Signal it’s really just what I use with work peeps for after hours non-Teams IT chat in case something breaks and they needs emergency help since we all basically mute notifications for Teams after work.

Correct, it will only have all future messages. Nothing historic. But it should sync literally everything going forward.

I use it on mobile and desktop regularly without sync issues. Has it always had that problem for you? I generally always get messages at the exact same time without fail.

Ackshully, that’s a jackdaw. Wait, where am I?

That’s great in theory, but you’ll have passwords for logging into OSes too which password managers do not help with and you better have it memorized or you’re going to have a bad time.

Very common for pass phrases, and not dissuaded. Pass phrases are good for people to remember without using poor storage practices (post it notes, txt file, etc) and are strong enough to keep secure against brute force attacks or just guessing based off knowledge of the user.

Some day I need to actually give this a go beyond what I played originally. I haven’t played this since the alpha days forever ago, and it looked like it had a lot of potential, but I didn’t have the patience. I think I helped fund it through their own site to play the super early build and then got the steam key from that when it released a long time after.

Nice

The better argument is that many keyboards don’t have an Insert key. I usually use Shift+Insert myself because it’s more likely to work on all terminal types, including Windows and Linux, but have ran into times where I just don’t have an insert, like on my laptop and Chromebook. So yeah, I might switch to Ctrl+Shift+V as my go to.

I know, how dare they?! Wait, am I allowed to respond in agreement with you???

Anand left 10 years ago to the day of the announcement. Was pretty well timed and I doubt it was coincidental.

Shut down announcement 10 years to the day from Anand Lal Shimpi retiring from AnandTech.

You can definitely put me down for 0 because my parents didn’t love me enough.

To clarify, websites can’t capture keyboard events that were typed into a different website like you’re thinking. Think of going to a web game that let’s you use WASD for controlling your character. It’s able to capture those events on that page because its in focus. When a site goes out of focus (such as switching tabs or switching to another window that’s not the browser), it loses that ability. Overall, it’s very secure.

I was more wondering how you thought capturing the mouse movements would lead to security issues.
