I was at Menard’s the other day, and they had wood endtables/nightstands that had integrated charging pads for $39.
Made me laugh, because, around here, the top wouldn’t be clear enough to use as a charger past the first 9 minutes!

Our newish nightstand has two USB ports integrated. I plug the pad into one of them. Just integrating the pad seems like a logical next step. Never thought I’d see the day I have to plug in my nightstand, but here we are.

Man alive, I'm so very, very tired of seeing warnings online about where NOT to store your 100-plus passwords. "Don't write them down!!!" Where the hell does everyone else store them?

"Don't write them down!!!" Where the hell does everyone else store them? Several years ago, someone I knew was describing his company's password policy - don't write them down, no actual words in the password, minimum of 10 characters, must include a number, must be changed every six months, no using old passwords, blah blah. With those rules, I can guarantee that EVERYONE was writing their passwords down, because the normal human brain can't remember all that. Mine are written down in multiple places (office, home). My "just in case I die" file tells my survivors where to find them so they can clear my accounts. They're not on a sticky note on my computer, but they're at least as safe as password manager using the cloud would be. |

We use a service called Last Pass that creates complicated passwords and stores them for you. We signed up less than a year ago, but so far we are satisfied with it. |

I write down my work password on a sticky note by my computer...I know. But, my understanding is that the real security risk is someone attempting to remotely access my computer using some sort of password randomizer. Whereas the risk of someone with ill intent walking past my desk and digging through the papers piled on top of password-post-it is...real small.

To everyone, YES. We're set up by all these rules to have no alternative but to write them all down, especially when my work asks me to make up a new one every 3 months, and chides me if I use one that has been "used before", grrrrr. I write down my work password on a sticky note by my computer...I know. But, my understanding is that the real security risk is someone attempting to remotely access my computer using some sort of password randomizer. Whereas the risk of someone with ill intent walking past my desk and digging through the papers piled on top of password-post-it is...real small. Exactly, which is why I'm nervous about services that make up passwords for you, Ladybug . Meh, I mostly work at home, they're on stickies in an out of the way place, my sister knows where all the important ones are, and for now I'm going with that, lol. |

I use an app called Password Keeper, I have to log in to get to it. Though none of my financial stuff is in there. |

I make a spreadsheet every year of the registrants requesting assistance from the organization I volunteer with, and last year I put my password spreadsheet at the bottom of that one and changed the font color to white, making it invisible. My two older kids know where and how to access it if necessary.

We're trying to keep my physically and visually impaired father entertained as he's pretty much housebound during the winter. He has a google home that he uses for music and I'd like to get it to play audio books for him. I'm at square I one with this idea and I don't have much in the way of google so don't really know where to start. Can I send him Audible.com books to play. Books from the library? Am I only limited to books from the google books collection?
