> A surfer was pulled out to sea by a rip current and was stranded in the water. The sheriffs department used their drone to find him, and used the drones loudspeaker to tell him to swim farther out where a boat could reach him.
Worth noting that the Gatwick incident mentioned in the first paragraph is highly contentious and it hasn't been proven to have been by a drone. You can read my summary of the event[1] or one by the guardian[2] on the same -
If your news diet is consumed by negative press and sad stories, they become more readily available[0] to you and can affect your decisions adversely by making you think that the base rate of such bad events are more common than they really are[1].
Yeah I evaluated a few team password managers for a friend's small business and Bitwarden was the clear winner (1Password was second, but fell due to the requirement for a long random master key). I was surprised by just how bad Last pass and Dashlane were considering how much they spend on advertising
I often run into problems where the bloody stupid "use bitwarden to fill this field" hover button pops up over the field i need to paste something into. I need to do that because the app hasn't detected the app i'm using is actually a password i currently only have the web URI password saved for.
I looked into Bitwarden for work, but there's no password reset option for admins. I don't know how many times people have forgotten their password manager's password and I've had to reset it. Without that feature, Bitwarden is a non-starter for a corporate environment.
I hope this makes it into bitwarden_rs, which is what we use at work, soon. That and/or the ability to disable personal vaults would go a long ways for us.
Killer feature for me is the URI matching options. Each entry can have URIs, and each URI can match based on: Base Domain, Host, Starts With, Exact, or Regex.
This simplified a bunch of things for me:
* Dev deployments of an app, where I have one or two different logins (eg, the default admin login) but it's deployed on a bunch of subdomains and/or internal IPs and/or internal non-FQDN hosts
* A bunch of work systems on different domains where there's old-style SSO (synchronized password, but login form as part of the app)
* Android apps just get a URI like com.domain.AppName and can otherwise be consolidated with other entries, etc
I don't think it's quite what you were asking, but I always avoided Two Factor Auth because I don't use a smartphone and all the approved methods seemed to use phone apps.
A year ago, one of my accounts forced me to enable two factor auth, so I spent time looking into how to make it less onerous. Turns out the TOTP code stuff is an open standard and there is a command line tool [1] you can use to generate the codes.
Thought that was really neat. I wrote a little script to integrate with my password manager and went from avoiding two factor auth to enabling it everywhere.
Seriously I LOVE 1password. I moved away from LastPass to it after reviewing some of the OSS offerings. I have not found a more feature-complete (and pretty for that matter) alternative.
One of the my favorite features that I cannot find in other password managers it the built-in 2fa support. Click to login to a 2fa enabled site and it copies the code to your clipboard so you just paste and voila at the next screen. Perfect!
I mostly like Bitwarden but I really miss the 1password feature where it shows your password in big text with each character numbered. I have a few accounts that do that dumb "give us the 5th, 12th and 21st characters" thing.
The test is easier than a full part-107 exam and I was able to finish mine in less than half an hour for free. The FAA did the right thing by making the test free to take. If there were any fees involved, it would hinder adoption and work against FAA’s goal. Some might see the test as another thing to do, but making it free really does have a lower barrier of entry, and is a necessary step in the right direction which could’ve easily gone wrong if a fee was involved.
