what’s wrong with just texting

If you have friends in another country, it might cost a quarter every time you send a message.

In regions of the world (e.g. Europe, and a lot of Asia) where some countries are the size of a large city (or perhaps the entire country is one city), that’s a problem. You’d be sending international texts all day every day.

There really isn’t. For example web browsers can execute assembly now and a good “web developer” (I’d call them a software engineer) will use assembly where appropriate.

Personally I use Bitwarden (paid account even) but I’ve also recommended 1pass to apple only users because it fits well in that ecosystem.

Bitwarden works perfectly “in the apple ecosystem” these days, but personally I prefer 1Password - it’s quite a bit better on all platforms. It has a few features I couldn’t live without and a million little things that are just… nicer.

On the other hand, Bitwarden is either free or very cheap, and it’s a great password manager.
