    Which personally I think does a disservice to their readers. If their article ends up high in search results for “best password manager 2023” for whatever reason, most people aren’t going to care if there’s a source available client or not.

    Dash lane and 1Password might not have source available clients but they likely have better UI/UX than these more open source alternatives that are made for people with technical expertise.


  • I can personally recommend 1Password, the Windows Hello integration works really well. Asks for your PIN code to unlock (or your master password after a reboot). If you put your computer to sleep rather than turn it off overnight, you won’t need the full master password.

    Also, if you’re so inclined, 1P has an excellent CLI tool you can use for accessing vaults programmatically. I use this for auto filling TOTP codes for my Final Fantasy XIV login.




  • Hashtag late but Firefox’s main downsides is that it’s tab flushing sucks compared to Edge, and there’s no native vertical tabs.

    In Edge, if a tab is put to sleep, clicking it again does not require a full refresh. Why does it need to completely reload in Firefox?

    I’m aware there’s extensions for tab groups and vertical tabs (I’m using Simple Tab Groups), but it should be a natively supported feature.

    Add that to the fact that Firefox is now the web developer equivalent of IE6 circa 2010 - minuscule user base and requires weird hacks to get websites to look good on it - and you got a recipe for people not wanting to use it.

    Also lying about being the privacy focused browser when it has a bunch of telemetry and a bundled sponsored extension I had to look up how to get rid of, that part sucks too.


  • This is how I feel about LTT too. There should never be one single location you go to for all your review needs - even if it had every single product in existence in for review.

    I’ll look at LTT videos to see people doing dumb shit with tens of thousands of Britannian Monies worth of tech, sometimes there’s some genuinely good “hey, this exists” (see: PowerToys which gave me Spotlight on Windows), and sometimes it triggers a “hey I could use X, I’ll do my own research and collation of reviews”.

    If they can get their Labs up and running and their tests being transparent enough that they can be peer reviewed, then Labs will be a tool in the toolbox, not the toolbox itself.




  • I would never trust a Razer product again, I’ve owned two of their Nagas and they both failed (double-clicking issue) within a year. Everyone in my WoW guild who have experience with MMO nice report the same problem with Razer mice.

    I personally have the Scimitar, recently bought a new one as my old one from ~2019 (I think is when I bought it) had the inverse problem; holding right click to move camera would “drop” the hold randomly.

    I own a lot of Corsair products and iCue is probably the least garbage peripheral software I’ve used over the years.


  • Speaking as an Apple user - I am heavily invested in their ecosystem - I am extremely happy that Lightning is on death’s door. I fully agree with the EU and I am very grateful to them for forcing Apple’s hand.

    That being said, your point about USB-A falls apart when you consider any situation where your vision is even partially obstructed. Such as; back of the computer, back of your monitors, a dock unless you’re holding it, etc etc.

    What I’m hoping will happen:

    1. Apple sells only USB-C to USB-C cables
    2. Apple users start requesting more USB-C ports on motherboards / desktop computers
    3. Mouse/Keyboard manufacturers produce USB-C alternatives of their products
    4. Motherboards move even more to USB-C
    5. GOTO 3 until USB-A becomes as legacy as VGA or PS/2
    6. We hopefully never see another single orientation external cable ever again.

    A lad can dream…
