WOODEN computer chips reveal humanity's cyber elf future

Bought a wooden computer...

but it wooden work.

Password manager LastPass goes titsup: Users locked out

Stop

... but why not back up those LastPass beauties

Might be worth noting that you can keep your LastPass encrypted data locally as a back up.

Also worth remembering that you can then use that backup to access your password data without being online. So next time LP's servers need a tea break, you'll still be able to log in to stuff.

Do a search for "offline-access-to-your-lastpass-vault" to get the details.

Naturally I haven't got round to doing any of this myself and would have been mightily stuffed had the outage affected me. Nor have I kept a secured copy of my master password; if I get concussed & forget it; still stuffed.

Life on the edge.

Never mind the jetpack, where's my 21st-century Psion?

Re: Drifting OT ... one thing I recall

Reminds me that even in late 1990s I used to see a TV sketch-show* writer pacing up and down outside the studio, typing merrily, without looking at his MicroWriter/AgendA device. I watched him enviously, while squinting to type on my beloved Psion 5. Still have it, long defunct though/

Thumb Up

I'm on it...

I'm turning our house into a nuclear power station immediately. I shall operate it from my chair by the TV.
