I’m waiting for a conservative hacker to do something simple like hack into the MSNBC chyron and report real news. It shouldn’t be more difficult than Tesla cars.

as an IT guy (before being shit-canned for refusing the clot-shot) I recommend picking your passwords from a list that is familiar to you but not easily guessed/linked to you and then adding counters to each item on the list to create passwords.

For example you could use a list of the cars you have owned by order. If your first car was a Camaro and your second was a Mustang then the first two passwords in you list could be Camaro#01 and Mustang#02. Doing this allows you to not only remember them but when you are forced to change your password every few months you can cycle through the list by memory.

For websites I always take the first letter of the website and add it in caps to the beginning of the site's password. For example for Free Republic I would use ‘F’ + ‘Camaro#01’ for ‘FCamero#01’ and if I am ever forced to change it the next password would be FMustang#02’ and so on.

It comes down to picking a password “rule” that is consistent and easily memorable but not easily guessable.

Brilliant. Could you imagine the number of jumpers from high rises in the big cities if their mothership told them the truth?

I used to moan and groan. To each his own, I guess.

I’ve read it also has a sensor that detects whether whatever you’re shooting at is actually threatening your life!

Let us know how it goes when you “upgrade” to the F-150 Lightning.
