Just trying out this search engine, as an alternative to evil empires.

DuckDuckGo Search Engine

(just got one of those 'mattress in a box delivered to your door things'. Spent money with the company and now I get blitzed with ads. Their product is supposed to last 10 years, its wasted effort. No AI)

 

Have been using this for over 10 years - it is my "go to" player, especially as it doesn't care what region my DVD is made in and plays them all with ease. A lifesaver for anyone who has lived in a number of countries that fall under different regions . . .

 

I use KeePass on Linux (...apparently it also works on toy operating systems like Mac & Windows) to keep records of all those passwords I can't possibly remember. For many less critical applications (like this forum) I also let Firefox save the login details, so I only refer back to KeePass if I switch browsers or have to re-install.

But for anything that involves 'money' I look in KeePass each time and do a copy 'n paste. This allows me to use very complex passwords that I couldn't hope to remember.



The alternative is to use "12345" for everything, which I understand is very popular!
