Reply to comment by AwakenGreywolf in Millions of passwords stolen from LastPass earlier than company disclosed: Report by BasedSweet
Any online service you use is volatile to your password being stolen. In this case they just got the encrypted database, but with those remote services you usually run a browser extension. They're updated automatically, so you as a user would not even know if someone manages to smuggle password stealing code in there. The best password manager is one that is run on your local device only. If you use a good master password, you don't have to be concerned about your password database being synced over untrusted cloud storage providers.
End to end encrypted providers do exist though.
The people that stole the databases are not after anyones password specifically. They're running a huge password list against them and take what they can. data breaches usually work like this.

I use an S20 which uses hardware authentication to check for a locked bootloader.

You can, but some apps refuse to run if they detect that your phone is unlocked. The silliest that I found so far is the McDonalds app

The bottom part is just a touch screen. The LCD display is just that, an LCD display. They're naturally transparent. Your standard calculator has a mirror behind the display so it appears opaque. And LCD computer screens have a lamp behind them to make them work in the dark and not depend on an external light source. The displays have liquid crystals sandwiched between two glass panes. Sending a current through the panes will align the crystals, and in combination with a polarizer foil, block the light. In other words, the black "ink" you see is not actually ink, but the absence of light, or a shadow.

Nope. Totally works. You get used to the dalays eventually. The only thing that really doesn't works is FPS/realtime strategy games.
The round trip time is not that important for communication or remote desktop protocols. The other parties hear you with a 300-400 ms delay and you hear them with the same delay but people eventually get used to this.

Evem without it, Europe already has very affordable Sat broadband. It uses satellites in geostationary orbit, so the delay is quite high (approx 700 ms). Fairly fast and not as expensive as you might think.
