  • Sure just if fully given in this way it’s basically the same as an 11 character password.

    Only of the attacker knows whether it’s a password or phrase. I’d argue that passwords are far more common and that’s what a cracker would focus on first.

    should be resistant to attacks even if there is perfect knowledge of how it was generated

    As far as I know there still is no way to create actual randomness. You’ll still have some pseudo-random number generator and a hopefully unguessable seed. If you have “perfect knowledge” about that, cracking the password is almost trivial.





  • Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen

    So many people say that but I actually liked the menu. It opened very fast and you could far more quickly find and hit the right tile than that stupid nested programs tree that was the norm in the start menus of earlier Windows versions.

    I’d say considering that telemetry started to creep in primarily with Win 10, 8 was indeed better (meaning less bad).
