Two points to take into consideration:
0: Vivaldi is actually pretty cool (although I use three other, cooler, browsers)
1. Microsoft has turned into an @rsehole academy.
OK, I'll side with the cool guys, just like I did when microsoft was cool*, and IBM wasn't.
* Dear God, how long ago was that?

Anyone who can't change the browser in Windows 10 should probably not be using a computer. Seriously, it's not hard.

"Organisms created with synthetic DNA pave way for entirely new life forms" [^]Quote: Now, the first living organisms to thrive with an expanded genetic code have been made by researchers in work that paves the way for the creation and exploitation of entirely new life forms.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

2016 was the year that DevOps became part of IT organizations’ everyday language. And by "mainstream" they mean, "stuff your manager keeps reading about"
|
|
|
|
|
And worse, stuff your manager keeps directing you to do, complete with committees, compliance departments, new and stupid security policies, dept re-orgs that break everything that was working smoothly and doesn't fix anything that wasn't working. DevOps became part of IT organizations' everyday language, like "toilet paper", "water cooler", and the PHB.

CEO: You mean, we can fire the entire testing and IT department and just let engineers declare things done and release them? I'm in!
Months later

Imagine a future where you tap an app on your smartphone to summon a self-driving car. Heard this one already? Okay, what about when your robot car drives into an airless tube hundreds of miles long and careens across country at close to the speed of sound? What's the worst that could^H^H^H^H^H will happen?

The popular Pattern Lock system used to secure millions of Android phones can be cracked within just five attempts – and more complicated patterns are the easiest to crack, security experts reveal. It's still better than some people's passwords

Agreed. And then why couldn't they go on to know where your thumbs moved on your onscreen keyboard, also? I would think that would be the next step.

@raddevus This could interest you, it looks similar to your C'YaPass.

Thanks for drawing my attention to this. I appreciate it.
I read the article yesterday because I was a bit concerned.
However, this "hack" is odd. It's more about the motions that your thumb and arm take than anything else.
The C'YaPass grid has more grid elements. That could change things.
Also, wouldn't this mean that they could read your movements of thumbs when typing too?
I'm just not convinced by that study and write-up.
It was also odd that they said that the more complex the pattern the easier it was.
Of course, with C'YaPass, they'd also have to have your site/key (initial hash is generated from the text you choose in that box).
Further, I can still implement a third random hash (selectable by on/off checkbox) that would be stored on the device where you run C'YaPass that would allow you to make your passwords tied to a particular device. That could be a new option that would make it even more secure. Most people wouldn't like that though, because they'd be tied to the device.
Thanks again.

A federal judge in Seattle is set to hear arguments Monday morning from the US Department of Justice as to why he should halt Microsoft’s efforts to allow it to tell users, in most cases, when the government demands customer information. I'm so glad Microsoft is taking a stand against spying on users
Yes, my eyes are rolling with that one.
