Lets take this one step farther, call it identity fraud and not just fraud; otherwise, identity theft will probably be with us.

I agree. Also, the code repository has no changes since 2017 (at least on the default branch).

I thought of that (adding a number) when posting, but then one has to remember that number...

This looks to be the same as https://www.grc.com/offthegrid.htm (pointed to by normal access).

I am not sure how this works, when say in the example one's example.com password has been breached and example.com is forcing one to rotate the password. Then it looks like one has to have two sheets. One for all current passwords and a second sheet just for example.com. Am I missing something? (Does one rotate all of one's passwords so that one can use a single sheet? Seems time consuming to rotate all passwords.)

Whenever I see articles like this, I have to question our drug policy. People have been getting high since before we were human (non-human primates get intoxicated). We can't stop people from getting high as we discovered with prohibition. Why not legalize drugs to help bring it out into the open and have laws to make sure one uses them responsibly (need to be an adult, don't drive, etc.). This way the user can know that they get something that is not tainted with fentanyl. Also, when purchasing, one can sign or get a sheet of dosing and symptoms to watch for (in case one needs to call 911). Also, it could have standard tax sales tax applied (can't make it close to 50% like cannabis is in California otherwise, dark market will still exist) to bring in some revenue. This should also reduce violence of drug dealers/gangs and reduce expenses associated with prosecuting, jailing and forth.

This seems like the feds pissing into the wind to get into headlines so that it appears that they are doing something.

That would make for a good topic. Also, it is difficult to maintain older cars going when parts become harder to get. So, even if one does not want to buy a new car; at some point one might be forced to getting a newer car. I very much appreciate these hackers and hope that there will be a thriving and vibrant hacking community for new vehicles. I am personally not interesting in unlocking unpaid for features; but for privacy, security and safety reasons.

I would have thought that EFF and FSF would be more active in trying to promote open source in automobiles for privacy, security and being able to repair and modify the vehicle. I would think that it would be rather mind blowing how much information is gathered by the new vehicles about oneself. I have enough money to buy any model of Tesla, but will not due to privacy, security and safety reasons. (I consider drive by wire braking and acceleration a safety issue. With a stick shift I can insert the clutch and know that the drive system can be disabled. I also consider that the software can be modified over the air forcibly by Tesla a safety issue because it could be used for nefarious purposes.)
