I usually just export my bookmarks as a HTML file and use that on desktop. On mobile I just make a ods spreadsheet after copying all of my bookmarks manually (select all, share, copy to clipboard etc…)
Backup your stuff

I do something similar but instead of a VM I just have windows installed on a separate hard drive and just boot up from there when I need it (I don’t play games though)
Hopefully the editing portion takes off. Been using open document reader from fdroid to view and just been editing the actual ods files and such on my computer. Can’t wait to see what the future has in store
Ahh didn’t think about laptops with touchscreens just assumed touchpads or mice. That’s fair honestly never knew that was a popular way to navigate would assume people just get tablets for that but you make a solid point.
No i get people use more than one computer but I don’t understand your point though about using wayDroid specifically vs a desktop totp manager? You can achieve the same by just having your totp seeds on one computer and manually filling the generated code on the other. Only difference is no android application needed just a standalone desktop totp manager
Was straight up asking myself this the other day and still couldn’t come up with a good answer. I keep reading for 2fa or my passwords but that’s not really a reason IMO. Why not just have a copy of your totp seeds (any good android totp manager should let you export) and then use a desktop manager like keepassxc, the same with your passwords. The only reason i can personally think of are games but even then which games are worth keeping on your desktop that don’t already have a port? Another application that might be worth emulating could be like Shazam but not sure how good the desktop alternatives are
A hell of a deal
Huh weird I do have experience of this happening especially on used drives that are technically beyond their lives, +7 years etc, guess it depends on manufacturer and classification since you haven’t personally experienced it. When I say slow down I’m referring to the read and write speed not the platter rpm even though that could happen such as with motor bearing wear. There’s really multiple potential hard wear issue that could cause read and write speeds to slow down: head wear, platter degradation, etc. Although i do want to clarify that I’m not necessarily saying its dying or even if its 100% a hardware issue since fragmentation could be the cause. Not even sure if it’ll be throwing out errors yet so I can’t wait to see what OP updates us with.
Iirc with time mechanical drives do slow down significantly due to wear and tear so it kinda sounds its on its way out. If speed is a must maybe look at how much storage capacity you’re using and switch to appropriate sized ssd/s. You can keep the mechanical drive as a cold backup.
Edit: not sure if you already done this and I usually don’t recommend it if you don’t have backups but benchmarking would show you the read and write speeds. Also depending on warranty status, you also have the option of doing a manufacturer replacement. Not sure what info Toshiba asks for but doesn’t hurt to look into if you do decide to replace it.
Thought so too I can also swear they had some trouble with Google and pixel launcher something about their code. Great to see them still trucking
Oh not at all just like having options available in case a project becomes inactive or some other problem happens. Love Veracrypt
Ooo haven’t read the article yet but I’m hoping its a veracrypt alternative, hopefully they also have options to use keyfiles.
Edit: the article mentioned some customization but not at the level of veracrypt still not bad at all. It’ll probably really take off after an audit but looks pretty neat. Also seems to have been around for a few years now, earliest article is around 2017, so I guess its not very popular but curious if anyone has experience using it?
The a stands for “almost the same price” now
Kinda think its to keep costs down. They already have their builtin totp generators so making a separate application seems kinda redundant. Unless you mean why they don’t make their own hardware security key? That’s probably also to keep costs down (materials, vendors, marketing, upkeep, etc…). I would also like to have a rival with the same credibility for yubikey though in case something happens to the company.
I rather buy used ssds off eBay from a known brand.
Trackercontrol, obtainium, openboard, and newpipe
Regardless of where you get your secondhand drives do yourself a favor and make sure they package them correctly (antistatic bag, 1-2inches of bubblewrap and a cardboard box) by messaging for that. That’s my biggest complain when I brought used drives. Think Serverpartdeals and goharddrive are the main eBay sellers with great reps but I sadly haven’t done business with them so can’t verify
That’s pretty cool I just been using a flashdrive and a Usb C hub
Plus isn’t your phone’s encryption at its strongest state after its been rebooted, before it’s been unlocked? Guess it’ll be useless unless OP has an outdated security patch, a weak passcode or if it was snatched while unlocked
