>>107525225
The principle is true yes
In reality you want a few more bits than that, 44 is pretty low. The comic says the average user shouldn't worry about cracking stolen hashes, but IMO with how frequent breaches are, there's no reason not to defend against that; and moreover if you're protecting a local veracrypt volume, then a local cracking attack is pretty much the main vector of brute forcing.
Around 80-100 bits of entropy is basically uncrackable at this point, and if you want to remember it in your head then a passphrase is almost the only way to achieve it. Six words from a list with 10,000 options is just about 80 bits of entropy. Eight words from a list like that gives you 106 bits of entropy if you want to be extra sure.

A similar password with completely random letters, capitals, numbers and symbols (about 72 possibilities) would need 17 characters to be comparable. And it'd have to be completely random, so you'd have to memorize a nonsensical and arbitrary combination of random symbols and letters and stuff. A password using the "troubadour" scheme is basically always going to be completely worthless so is not even worth comparing.

Maybe not such a stupid question but here goes:

What happens if I use a CPU in a motherboard, that the motherboard has yet to get BIOS support for? For ex. I have a current AM5 B850 board and plan on putting one of the new CPUs on it that will come out in early 2026 (probably after CES). But until then I don't have a CPU and so I can't update the BIOS (it has a firmware dated to 2025 August so probably no "hidden" support for new chips either).

Will it completely fail to boot whatsoever, or will it boot but without proper support for overclocking and such, perhaps at some lower clockspeed?

>>107521442
Change the launcher to Projectivy or FLauncher?

>>107526478
No, this is purely assuming you have N words in your wordlist that you are selecting randomly, and which you are able to remember with relative ease.

Maybe in practice if you have a very strange wordlist whoever is bruteforcing it will not actually use the correct one. But if there's like 10 different options for different wordlists (adding or not adding couple of foreign languages, adding or not adding fictional words (of which there aren't that many)) that's like adding an extra digit at the end of your password: a couple of extra bits of entropy which really don't add much compared to, for example, just adding one more word. So you should do whatever makes it easier for you to remember, if you add some klingon words or whatever but then you can't remember them for shit or you have to make the passphrase shorter then it's gonna be worse.

In general a good rule of thumb is to assume that the attacker brute forcing happens to know the logic you used to get your password. Because it's not that hard to make your password strong enough even if you assume that, and if you do then you're not relying on any assumptions for security. And sometimes the assumptions work out but other times they don't and the security they add might be much less than you assume. So just imagine the attacker always knows the exact algorithm you used and make your password secure despite that, and you'll have peace of mind.

>>107526576
I don't get your question. The motherboard doesn't have support for it because the CPU hasn't come out. But since the CPU hasn't come out how are you putting it into the motherboard?

Or is your question "how do I update the motherboard BIOS if I don't have an already-compatible CPU" - if so in recent years it's become more and more common to have USB flashing as a feature, so you don't need a CPU installed at all to update the BIOS. You put the updated firmware on a USB stick, boot the computer without a CPU, I think sometimes you have to hold down a button on the mobo or something, and it updates its own firmware. Then you can install the new CPU and it's already supported by the new firmware.

As for what would happen if you still tried to boot with unsupported firmware, I don't know for sure, and I think it will depend on a case by case basis. I wouldn't be surprised if some generations were similar enough that some or most features could work, while others might change things enough that the mobo would not boot at all. I don't really know for sure though, and with USB flashing it doesn't matter in practice.

BTW before USB flashing became common, it was actually a real problem and people would sometimes buy old used CPUs from the previous gen just for the first flash, so I'm assuming it was not common to be able to boot with an unsupported CPU.

>>107526615
>But since the CPU hasn't come out how are you putting it into the motherboard?
By waiting 2-3 months until it is released, then buying it, then putting it in the motherboard that I bought back in August but do not currently have a CPU to use it with.

>As for what would happen if you still tried to boot with unsupported firmware,
That was the question, yes.

USB flashing sounds like the way to go, I think the board can do it, so that leaves me with a safe plan even if it won't boot with unsupported new chips.

That's why the comic is misleading. It's a somewhat reasonable assumption for this "most common password" pattern of punctuation and number at the end, but put the symbol at the end and the caps somewhere in the middle, it's not.
He also set up his strawman to be perfectly at the point where it's plausible but short. Get it up to 35bits and it's a year to crack with the attacker still having this magical perfect pattern knowledge, which would be more realistic but not look as good for him.

>>107527571
>It's a somewhat reasonable assumption for this "most common password" pattern of punctuation and number at the end, but put the symbol at the end and the caps somewhere in the middle, it's not.
The sentence you quoted was not me explaining the comic. It was direct advice from me, completely unrelated to the comic. When using anything related to security, always assume the attacker knows your algorithms and methods, and make sure your system is secure under that assumption. Even if the assumption is far-fetched, it's better to be too conservative and then never have it be the case, than rely on this assumption and one day the attacker somehow social engineers you into revealing it or it turns out your assumption was outright wrong.
Putting the symbol and the random caps at a random point in the word does not add much security. The word has 9 letters, that's just over 3 bits of entropy per position, so 6-7 bits added total. And if you truly randomise it, it's bloody annoying to remember. The ratio of security added vs. difficulty to memorise in your mind is very bad, which is the point of the comic.
And also demonstrates exactly why you should assume the attacker knows the scheme, because even if your scheme is "oh just put the caps at the end instead of the start, they'll never guess it!" the attacker can intead just try caps on every letter and it doesn't add much security, and so your assumption that they would never try your specific position was wrong. So just assume the attacker knows it and you completely eliminate all risk of mistakes like this.

>35 bits
Like I also said the comic is extremely lenient in assuming that local hash brute forcing is not a problem, and for anon's case of an encrypted volume that's outright wrong since that would be the primary method of brute forcing it. You NEED 80-100 bits of entropy. 35 bits is a joke just as much as 25 is.

Been considering getting a bigger SSD for my laptop that has a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. Would there be any issues if I put a 4.0x4 in that slot? From what I've read it's backwards compatible, but some people warn that it might overheat. Finding a 4GB 3.0x4 seems quite hard in my country, and often the 4.0 ones are cheaper.

Followup question: Assuming I'm not upgrading to a laptop with a 4.0x4 slot in the future, is there any reason to go for any pricier 4.0 alternatives or do they all run at the maximum 3.0 bandwidth of ~4GB/s?

I have a shitty keyboard (but I like it!) that's wireless. It connects to its own proprietary usb dongle (which isn't bluetooth apparently?). I have another usb dongle that IS bluetooth for my mouse. They're both connected to the front ports of my tower (so I guess these are pass-throughs that make their way to the MOBO eventually).
For some reason, when dragging a lot of files to a flash drive or sometimes doing other activities, my keyboard will just become unresponsive or extremely delayed (and will miss keystrokes).
Is there some weird throughput issue going on with the usb ports? The odd thing is that the mouse is perfectly fine when this is going on.

I like this cheap keyboard. It has the right shape and clackyness. All of the "upgrades" that use true bluetooth and a better dongle add shit like wrist rests and other stuff that I don't like or want and will probably upset my RSI / wrist issues.

>the comic is extremely lenient in assuming that local hash brute forcing is not a problem
You could say that but more like it's a cherry-picked number that fit his point.
Realistically there's no 1000 tries/ sec remote service, especially not for normies. There's local attack on leaked password databases and then there's local attacks on encrypted data.
The former it's probably some shitty SHA-1 so a consumer GPU can do ~25M/s so his 4 word passphrase is cracked in a matter of days by any of us, too.
The later, using something like veracrypt, a consumer GPU does more like 35K/s, even less with triple encryption, so ~1000x slower with the same password.

> Even if the assumption is far-fetched, it's better to be too conservative and then never have it be the case, than rely on this assumption and one day the attacker somehow social engineers you into revealing it or it turns out your assumption was outright wrong.
I don't disagree with you but doesn't change the fact that assuming the attacker perfectly knows the pattern is misleading. Except for the passphrase case that is a super standard attack, to user common wordlists.
>Putting the symbol and the random caps at a random point in the word does not add much security. The word has 9 letters, that's just over 3 bits of entropy per position, so 6-7 bits added total.
28, +8 bits for "random" caps and +2 bits for unknown postfix/prefix. But realistically, + another 8 up to bruteforce-n because the attacker does in fact NOT know the password and will try incorrect patterns.

>You NEED 80-100 bits of entropy. 35 bits is a joke just as much as 25 is. You NEED 80-100 bits of entropy.
I don't really disagree with you there other than 80 being overkill for something slow like veracrypt, at least for now.

>>107530159
My point is that debating "hmm will my attacker guess my super special scheme or not?" is not an exact science and it is way easier to just assume that he will and make your password secure regardless. I don't see how this is misleading.
The most secure type of generation is where you pick completely randomly from some list of options, whether that be characters/symbols or words, without any rules as to what goes where or how it's modified or anything. As soon as you add rules, in the best case the attacker just does the random attack anyway and you're fine, but in the worst case your password basically has a backdoor and if the attacker somehow gets ahold of the information suddenly your password is way weaker for no reason.

Normally the main reason to add rules is to make the password easier to remember. "Troubadour but with an & and one of the o's being a 0" is alright to memorize, while something like

b_a?]<R2?:cDjv&[

would be absolute hell to type from memory unless you specifically spend time drilling it and regularly refresh your memory.
And the point of the comic is that if you just pick like 8 random words instead it's actually fine to memorize. Here's KeepassXC's passphrase generator giving me 100 bits of entropy:
>thicket backlit trembling fondness stagnant subsystem surface survivor
I could type this in a few times, or maybe come up with a mnemonic story stringing the words together or something, and I'm good to go, way better than the abomination above.

So the ultimate conclusion is that you CAN make passwords/passphrases that are inherently secure even if the attacker has perfect information on how you're selecting it, so why wouldn't you?

The only exception of course are systems that have arbitrary character limits on passwords, but then you really gotta generate a random one and save it in a manager rather than making it EVEN weaker on top of being short too by adding arbitrary rules on how you come up with it.

>>107529816
I don't know for certain but I expect either the same or worse. As I understand it, astigmatism makes bright lights in the dark look blurry. On an IPS there's backlight everywhere and the black pixels are just dimmer than the white ones, whereas on an OLED the individual pixels emit their own light so the black parts are literally completely turned off, and the white ones will stand out way more.

Just use light mode themes, their contrast and readability is superior even for normal people, the only reason people use dark mode is because of a psyop about how it's a cool hacker aesthetic and light mode is for "normies" so now it's a self-perpetuating stereotype.

Can Gemini AI read your clipboard content without you actually ever inputting it into the chat box?

I opened up a new instance of Gemini to ask it what DNS flush does exactly out of curiosity, and in a separate tab, on a different website, I copied a list of cmds someone suggested using to reset one's internet connection. I went back to the Gemini tab with the intent to paste that list and ask if those cmds are safe to run for most users, but I accidentally forgot to paste the list at the end of the message before hitting Enter.
Regardless, Gemini provided a response that went through each of the listed cmds I failed to paste, naming them in the correct order and providing me details on each one.
Reminder, the only two inputs the AI effectively saw in this case were: 1) what does DNS flush do? 2) are these commands safe to run?
and no, Gemini did NOT list any of the copied cmds in its response to my first question. Yet somehow it perfectly listed the cmds I failed to paste, and didn't include any cmds NOT in that list.

When I asked it afterwards how it was able to respond perfectly to my list without me actually pasting it yet, it did that Gemini thing it sometimes does where it stops sending you text responses and just gives you a bunch of hyperlinks related to your inquiry.

Increasing contrast will make it worse. Though the difference between IPS and OLED probably won't be enough to notice.

Why does my computer not have Wi-Fi? I have an msi b850-p pro Wi-Fi motherboard and am running windows 10 ltsc iot. I tried tethering my iPhone as well and that didn't work. I even tried a Bluetooth dongle but the speed was only 0.5mb for some reason. I installed AMD deivers but that didn't seem to do anything. Please respond.

Windows 10 doesn't support WiFi 7.

>>107533739
But shouldn't it at least have normal Wi-Fi? Or does the motherboard only have 7?

>>107533764
>But shouldn't it at least have normal Wi-Fi?
No. The wireless NIC simply won't work. I know this because I had to replace my mobo and didn't realize it wasn't supported on the new one I purchased. In my case it doesn't matter because I use ethernet. But still annoying.
Note that you should be able to get BT working using the Windows 11 drivers on the MSI site. At least I was able to and my board has the same Qualcomm chip yours does. I'm on Win10 Pro. Not sure if anything you need is missing in IOT.

I want to use my iphone as a hotspot through usb but it just doesn't work. Windows 10 ltsc iot and iOS 16.1.1 on iPhone 13 mini. I have it plugged in and hotspot turned on with maximum compatibility.

Do you have iTunes installed?

>>107534006
I do. Version 12.10.11.2

>>107534453
I read up on how users can install the "Apple Devices" app from the windows app store thing and you don't have to use itunes to get USB tethering to work, maybe try installing that.
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9np83lwlpz9k?hl=en-US&gl=US

Also are you using the USB3 ports? Maybe try the USB ports that are not 3, usb3 should be backwards compatible but who knows maybe there is some bug/issues with older iphones using usb3 spec ports. it was not until iphone15 did apple support usb3.

Manually extracting the drivers and updating them worked. Thank you so much.

What's the best way to practice vim? I know there's vimtutor, but aparently that's pretty short.
This year I learned home row touch thping, after typing with 6 fingers for my whole life, and what helped a lot were all the training sites like monkey type and keybr. Is there anything similar for vim? Just using vim without some kind of program seems harder and harder to stay motivated and measure progress.

>>107519859
you can try installing firefox-esr. It is an alternative version of firefox (for extended support.) You should get a separate configuration for it and a separate icon on your desktop, but almost the same browser.

>What's the best way to practice vim?
just use nano lol

Vim keybindings are mnemonic, they are meant to be easy to memorize. Like "cw" means "change word" etc. Just use vim keys regularly to edit text. Add vim plugin to other editors as well, if they have one. They often do due to Vim's popularity.

>>107535344
Good to know they are mnemonic. I just hoped there would be some trainer to drill that into muscle memory. When I'm programming I'm thinking more about the code and sometimes I get a biy lazy with the tools, shortcuts etc. So my improvement is slow without dedicated practice.

Is there an easy/ghetto way to expand the contact area on one of these membrane button pads? As in picrel, maybe, which I'm not sure is feasible.

>>107535493
Maybe there are some. This comes to mind: https://vim-adventures.com/
But I personally never used any trainers.

>>107535838
The gray areas are the contacts.

Does Wi-Fi 7 use some brand new networking stack or whatever or do manufacturers simply ignore Windows 10 when writing drivers or what?
>>107533478
USB tethering has nothing to do with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is expected to be sluggish.

>The gray areas are the contacts.
Huh. Well that does make sense. Could I still somehow get more contact area from modifying that or the rubber buttons themselves?
It's just that it's dropping inputs, and not because it's dirty/worn down. Just chinkshit quality.

You enabled tab unloading?

No when I reload my previous session.
And I should say the pages aren't actually connecting and loading anything until I open them individually. But normally the browser's UI doesn't even come in for several minutes

The Windows 11 unzip function is hilariously inefficient. Out of curiosity I put it to the test against WinRar, using "Extract All" vs "Extract Here" The test ZIP file contains 32168 files across 187 folders which is 568 MB large compressed to 245 MB.

WinRar did it in 12 seconds

Windows 11 in 66 seconds

Is it supposed to be this bad?

I use neither, I find 7zip outdated/shit UI and WinRAR adware, there is just no 3rd so I stick to whatever functions Windows allows.
