IMO yes. It's stored encrypted on their sync service, and you can additionally encrypt it locally too by setting a master password in FF settings.

Didn't notice any mention that you can actually self host Firefox's browser sync service yourself. Personally haven't tried, but IIRC there's setup docs on Mozilla's github

That's going to hurt any kind of confidence users have for Microsoft-designed mobile devices going forward IMO.

A bit of a shame since the Duo was a pretty nice looking device

It’s just held together by duct tape and bubble gum.

πŸ”₯ Hot take: Applies to the mainstream tech industry too in my eyes... an abundance of unstable implementations and hacks that can break at a moment's notice - all prettied up with a fresh coat of paint so it "looks and feels new" to sell a new license each year or give the user a reason to keep paying that subscription. No value added whatsoever.

Fintech, construction (Solidworks, Autodesk), media & design (Adobe CC), Microsoft (Windows, office), the whole lot

They'd need a crap ton of money to throw at it lol, especially if the cheese makers decide to use Mifare NFC tech. That relies on the chips being signed using a write-once private key, and optionally also returning a kind of OTP that is only known to the NFC chip when it's sent a special command or "challenge".

Transit cards and contact less/chipped bank cards rely on something similar to prevent cloning (although Bank cards are actually running a Java-based OS, and can perform more complex calculations, or even just applications as programmed by the bank)

I'd be shocked if they picked some insecure type of nfc tech lol, or relied on the chip IDs which are easily cloneable

Completely unnecessary and hostile reaction ☹️

Different cultures, education, experiences and upbringings lead people to have different interpretations of and feelings towards various ideologies. IMO It is only fair for OC to establish the definition first, rather than unknowingly discuss something completely different with the other user.

Responses like this are why a shit ton of users on these platforms do your username and don't interact with anything

Backblaze recently revised B2 storage, it's gone up by $1 and they offer free egress equal to I believe 2x or 3x the data you have stored with them. Let me try find a link to this...

Used to work in an office where dell's wireless peripherals would every once in a while randomly enter pairing mode and connect to someone else's machine... often to the humor of those nearby. Their tech was based on Logitech's older Unifying stuff but I have no idea what they were thinking when adding auto pairing to it.

For wireless peripherals do research beforehand if this is something you're worried about. Personally I stick with newer logitech stuff, which encrypt the connection and don't start auto-pairing when peripherals are switched on

The majority of their investors are record labels now, so there's also an incentive to prevent competing streamers from taking Spotify's position

I dns blocked them after constantly clicking on the first result and it being their site. The "please enable cookies" wall started to get old fast
