Encrypt all the things!

Your The Man

Open sourced software, at least so should be okay on that front. All bets are off though on hardware

...if there are enough independent, adequately-qualified individuals reading the whole thing.

Sadly Linus's Law "Many eyes make all bugs shallow" is demonstrably shaky (c.f. recent OpenSSL and bash problems).

It drags on a bit but still an interesting read

Ever downloaded or searched for privacy software? Then the NSA is tracking you as an "extremist"

But loads of people -not- finding bugs like this includes black and white hat types. It's still better than closed source where no one gets to poke around except the devs (and the NSA).

Lucky I was in that internet cafe with all the other Brazilian electricians..

It's not just the NSA or GCHQ that's tracking you if you've got a smart tv

Google's true mission, according to Kevin Kelly, from a longer article about AI

http://www.wired.com/2014/10/future-of-artificial-intelligence/

Around 2002 I attended a small party for Google—before its IPO, when it only focused on search. I struck up a conversation with Larry Page, Google's brilliant cofounder, who became the company's CEO in 2011. “Larry, I still don't get it. There are so many search companies. Web search, for free? Where does that get you?” My unimaginative blindness is solid evidence that predicting is hard, especially about the future, but in my defense this was before Google had ramped up its ad-auction scheme to generate real income, long before YouTube or any other major acquisitions. I was not the only avid user of its search site who thought it would not last long. But Page's reply has always stuck with me: “Oh, we're really making an AI.

I've thought a lot about that conversation over the past few years as Google has bought 14 AI and robotics companies. At first glance, you might think that Google is beefing up its AI portfolio to improve its search capabilities, since search contributes 80 percent of its revenue. But I think that's backward. Rather than use AI to make its search better, Google is using search to make its AI better. Every time you type a query, click on a search-generated link, or create a link on the web, you are training the Google AI. When you type “Easter Bunny” into the image search bar and then click on the most Easter Bunny-looking image, you are teaching the AI what an Easter bunny looks like. Each of the 12.1 billion queries that Google's 1.2 billion searchers conduct each day tutor the deep-learning AI over and over again. With another 10 years of steady improvements to its AI algorithms, plus a thousand-fold more data and 100 times more computing resources, Google will have an unrivaled AI. My prediction: By 2024, Google's main product will not be search but AI.

I've been using LastPass for a while - I've just added a YubiKey PREMIUM
NEO (https://www.yubico.com/)

The U2F doesnt currently work at the same time as the OTP (Only found that out after purchase, but they say it will soon) I like the NFC for mobile Authentication too, works well with their App).

I finally caved and dropped a wad on 1password for mac officially as its on offer (still £25) but means I can fully dedicate to it at work now too.

It was the post(s) upthread about Richer Sounds & smart tvs,
and their data transmission,
that ensured when our old crt tv gave out we bought a non-smart tv.

Would have preferred a dumb-as-shit monitor but 40+ inch monitors
are too expensive,
so a dumb Toshiba with no internet connection, (lan or wifi) will suffice.

Does anyone here use KeePass ?

What Mac client do you use?

Used to use KeePass but only at my last place where we had to use Windows. One of the reasons I left

I use KeePass, had a look around for a Mac client but didn't find anything I was really happy with. Would be keen to hear if you find a good one

Secure Messaging Scorecard
Which apps and tools actually keep your messages safe?

I use MacPass, it's the only decent one I found.

Currently KeePass stores my bank/cc/anything dangerous accounts.
I also use LastPass for all the other web accounts (like this forum, supermarket etc...)

Annoyed that Apple block programs from logging in for you, but I can understand their reasoning (on iOS)

1password ftw #applefanboy

Chatsecure appears to be awesome...

Wow. Quick we better ban encryption and start policing the internet.

He also said encryption on mobiles had made it harder for police and intelligence agencies to gather data

Tough titties, copper...

Private members clubs are havens for tax dodgers, paedophiles, fraudsters, corrupt officials and racists.

We should ban private members clubs.
