So a few days ago when I was in our local trinket store, I came across something called

"The Internet Password Book"

Some people may poo poo the idea that people are writing their passwords down in a book. My personal opinion is i'm far less concerned with someone breaking into someone's house and stealing their password book, as I am with someone having a file called passwords.txt on their computer and calling random phone numbers that appear on their computer telling them they are infected and letting strangers remotely connected to their PC as well as using the same password on every website.

I do this, except my file is called ThisIsAllMyPasswordsL33tHacker.txt
of course all my real passwords are in ThisIsntAllMyPasswordsL33tHackerSoDonTLook.txt

I doubt they'd look in that one though.

I come across quite a few customers that have it. Not that I go looking for it, they always announce that they have it in an excel spreadsheet on their computer usually called passwords that have all their passwords.

I suppose, but you would probably get a few strange looks if anyone saw you with it.

What about picture of limes on that book?   That would make people think it's a cookbook.

 

If it was lemons, they will think that you have Lemon Porn.

 

hahah.

The book cover should have something that reflects the book itself. None of the suggested stuff so far is relevant to the book.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
