The video specifically calls that method out as dangerous and toxic.

Microwave is fastest but you've gotta do it at an extremely low power setting and he recommends not using it with a food microwave

It's in the linked video

The problem pretty consistently is they have simple solutions to complex problems and refuse to use nuance in anything.

They've reduced the problem space to one they can comprehend, have come to a conclusion about it, and now refuse to ever bend or change opinion.

If your regime is vocally on their side they'll defend it unironically and ardently. If your regime has ever shown any pushback you're a Western pig with shitballs.

It's a very comforting worldview honestly. Having come from a radical religious upbringing I know how nice it is to just take a razor and slice the world in 2. Good guys on one side, bad guys on the other and never the twain shall meet. Bad people are eternally bad and the only way for them to not be bad is for them to look, talk and act like us because we're good.

The problem of course is that it is exceptionally rare that you find someone who believes what they're doing is wrong and continually fights for it because they enjoy being wrong. Everyone lands on continuous spectrums of belief and action and they're usually doing what they think is right/good.

To be clear: I'm not saying I understand the entire problem space. I've read Marx and Gramsci. I'm not uninformed: I just know that the complexity of human systems are nigh on incomprehensible when attempting to solve them in their entirety. I don't think the problem of government and economic organization is solvable so much as it is something we can do better than we currently do. It will never be perfect, but we can aim for good enough.

For what it's worth I'm definitely in the big government camp rather than the anarchism camp: and yes I'm aware which community this is. Just calling out my own biases here.

Ultimately I'm pro passkey but when it comes to password managers: if the hash of your vault is easy to crack you've fucked up big time. There shouldn't be any way to crack that key with current tech before the sun explodes because you should be using a high entropy passphrase.

Never forget that technologically speaking you're nothing like the average user. Only 1 in 3 users use password managers. Most people just remember 1 password and use it everywhere (or some other similarly weak setup).

Not remembering passwords is a huge boon for most users, and passkeys are a very simple and secure way of handling it.

Passkeys are an ancient authentication setup, have always been better than passwords and are finally getting traction.

You can share passwords without the server seeing them. Many managers don't but there's nothing infeasible there. You just have a password to unlock the manager. Done.

I don't think it goes on sale ever, but $10 is effectively a permanent sale compared to Steam

I got an Acebeam EC35 Gen II a couple years back and while there are many settings you can use there's a big button onto he back that turns it on full blast and you click it again to turn it off. Done.

I've been playing it and it's definitely fun but it's not as sticky as StS imo. There's too much randomness and not enough control. At least compared to sts

I've put 400 hours in on phone alone from public transit commutes.
