The user’s password would protect the disk’s key, but would not necessarily derive it, I think.

Slightly OT but Doppler is quite good in my opinion.

My physical workstation (a Precision laptop) was affected and a single reboot fixed it. Most of my colleagues weren’t as lucky.

To be fair, the only place the words ‘open’ and ‘source‘ appear in the readme are once in a sub-heading, where it’s phrased ‘open-source’. It’s clearly labelled ELv2.

Possibly more of a subtle miscommunication or misunderstanding than a deliberate lie.

> QEMU is a large project and doesn't have much formal design or API documentation.

This is bonkers to me considering how it’s used in industry.

Which comments sounded entitled? I didn't get that from any quotes in TFA.

But this is a side channel attack, right?

Do you mean Truffle Security or Microsoft? Bonus points for any explanation (purely out of interest).

This looks cool, and thank you for using rust and not js/npm.

100% agreed. I switched from Google to Fastmail about 8 years ago and it has been wonderful.

In that that time:

* I have not had to worry that I’ll inadvertently trigger an account ban and lose my email account/all my email with no recourse.

* UI updates have been gradual, subdued and useful.

* Support requests have been answered promptly and have been extremely helpful, including one case where the web UI wasn’t loading through the corporate proxy, we determined it was the proxy (not their service) and an engineer STILL helped me with a fix after the ticket was closed.

* No significant (if any) price changes.

* No significant outages (that I can remember).

+1 for bit/vaultwarden. Nice mobile apps, nice browser plugins, nice web interface. Regular updates, easy to install. Using it for a year + (two years?) no issues. Super grateful.

eBay forced its Australian users to pay with PayPal a few years ago: https://www.smh.com.au/technology/accc-probe-of-ebays-paypal...

I’m still annoyed about that.

> This vulnerability was reported to Apple in Dec 2019, and it got patched somewhere in 2020. I don’t know why a CVE-2019 ID is given.

FYI: The year part of a CVE ID is either when the ID was assigned or when the issue was publicised: https://cve.mitre.org/about/faqs.html#year_portion_of_cve_id

Not (as I had assumed) when the vulnerable software was first published.

Really scary. Whenever I see the latest Boston Dynamics video, I’m always thinking ‘and now imagine it’s hunting you’.

TL;DR: What is wrong with the world that software that prints text to the screen has/needs a special project by a megacorp to make it perform/operate acceptably.

But you could say the same thing of browsers.
