True, there were a couple teams recently with proof of concept for a cold boot attack on BitLocker, so I guess it's still not so secure. But unless you've got some crazy blackhat or a three letter agency after you, I'd argue you're probably not at risk ;)
But that's not the point. The point is they have to break past your login screen, or, failing that, pull data from your storage while it's "offline" (i.e. not booted). If it's encrypted, they can't pull data off your drive externally, and as long as they can't login you're fine. Plus all the data is stored still encrypted. It's not like it decrypts the drive when you boot, it just enables an decryption algorithm that decrypts data on the fly (AFAIK).
I hadn't thought about that, but I suppose it's possible if he was on mobile. However his unusual use of Either twice also makes me wonder if maybe he's foreign and is as confused by English as native speakers are. This language is crazy
flooring as in the floor under your feet. flooring, especially wood, is sold in "panels". therefore you get wood flooring panels. no idea why the guy spelled 'flour' like 'floor'.
Apple Pencil support would be super cool on the iPads. Also worth noting, aside from typical handwriting inputs like Wacom digitizers, found in laptops like Lenovo's Tablet lineup, the MSoft Surfaces, etc, Wacom also makes pen tablets at a price point of less than $100USD, although they may be a little different to write on as they are just digitizers, and you'd be watching the screen to see what you're writing. Works great for art though!
