There are two honest ways to think about password managers, and they’re both right.

They’ll also dramatically improve your security over reusing the same three passwords everywhere. But they’re no longer equally trustworthy choices, and the … Read more
Streaking, skipping, or squeaking wipers aren’t just annoying — they’re a visibility problem waiting to happen the next time it rains hard on the highway.
