Comment Re: Could private keys be separated from devices (Score 1) 44

I also say your proposal only produces more attack vectors. And does not solve the problem if the area being read is still just as [un]protected as before. Store my key in #aaa, which gets read maliciously Vs Store my key on my belt, insert into PC, which copies to #aaa (memory), which gets read maliciously Difference?

Shotgun shells are not bullets. And their pellets are not bullets. But furthermore, many real bullets ARE still made mostly of lead. Most are in fact lead jacketed with copper. So BOTH of you are absolutely ignorant on this topic. Why either of you would choose to comment is the real question.

Comment Re: Only 1/3 of traffic deaths are Alcohol related (Score 1) 170

No, he was correct. Alcohol related only means someone had alcohol in their system - not that it was a major or even minor factor in the crash. That also means the number of alcohol related accidents is inflated because of the simple fact that a drunk person stopped at a stop light is often found at fault in an accident, when the other sober person violates traffic laws and causes the accident. They say it's the drunk person's fault for simply being on the road. When in reality it wasn't. Happened to my cousin.

Actually the best solution is to leave government nanny out of private transactions. But as long as commiefornia demands to intercede, then I suggest any store owners who rely on those paper receipts as part of their business revenue stream simply post a sign stating "we sell only to people who request paper receipts. by making any purchase you are requesting a paper receipt." Done.

1. It's faster, or at least was much faster until win10 2. It had capability that the native windows did not for a long time, which was the ability to open an archive and run an exe without extracting the entire archive, and winrar would automatically extract any dependencies on demand as they were called for. That has its uses when you dont want to extract a 700mb zip file just to run one or 2 programs within. At least that was my rationale, prior to win10 which has the same capability.

It's worth noting that man (even most) previous inventors of groundbreaking technologies had several seemingly-absurd ideas prior to the true invention of historical significance which ended up being tied to their name. Thus I'll take both sides of belief with equally substantial boulders of salt.

Comment Re: I can't imagine... (Score 1) 172

Thank you for finally bringing up my point / solution. I would prefer a dual-OS system, so that I may use my thumbprint as usual for regular phone tasks, but also if I choose to enter into a sort of root access [to my life, not the OS] then I would indicate that via an on-screen slider, button, or even a physical button combo, which would prompt me for my password. This almost resembles a multiple user interface, which we developed 25 years ago (me personally and others, I know it was developed earlier).

Does it not strike you as questionable at least that there are no pics or videos to corroborate this claim? None of the affected Tesla owners had phones? Unless I missed something in the article, this sounds very much like an EV website making up a story, or at the very least exaggerating it. And that would make sense considering it's ALWAYS the leftists who block public access. Facts.
