Popular password manager LastPass to be spun out from LogMeIn

Vaultwarden

I switched from Lastpass to Dashlane around the time they took over Xmarks, I quickly but found Dashlane to be very annoying and switched again to Bitwarden. I've been running Vaultwarden (Bitwarden compatible backend) self-hosted for a couple of years and don't plan to change. I've also used Bfolders for several years mainly for secure notes and banking logins, that I'm slowly migrating to Bitwarden/Vaultwarden

Surprised with the comments here that Bitwarden is 'too difficult'.

Forget China and India, Sweden is tech's superpower

LLB etc

I wonder where Sweden gets this long legged blonde stereotype from?

Swedes have got to one of the most reserved societies in existence, besides fika they need the internet to communicate with each other, hardly any pubs, monotonous food, the list is endless.

'Wrong amount of snow' caused Heathrow chaos

Where Was The Snow?

After being stranded due to this for 3 nights in Gothenburg Sweden, I was expecting to meet polar conditions at LHR. In reality I had difficulty seeing any of the white stuff.

This is even more of a reason to avoid LHR as a hub, besides being worse than many 3rd world airports.
