  • I actually have a question about this: if I agree to a version of the ToS, later there is an update, and I do not agree with the changes, should not be the case I keep using something out of date but also with a certain version of the ToS?

    Asking in legal terms here, since companies like to put these changes as “accept or walk away” sort of situation, but I am almost sure this is actually either illegal or very close to that (and no, ToS, or a contract, is NOT above the law. So don’t even bother with that point)













  • There is actually a lot more to this: a lot of people in the it sec crowd have been saying for many years that this habit of the gibberish passwords with symbols capitals and whatnot is actually a net deficit in security. Mostly because for the longest time people had to mostly remember all passwords and the policies for rotation were to aggressive (which lead to “lazy” changes). Nowadays unfortunately we still have people that inherited this thinking and still enforce this, but you also see a lot of people understanding that pass phrases are a lot better (of course should not be a predictable phrase like good morning, but it is possible to make it much better with way less effort)
