how would they know there is a difference if that's their baseline experience?

Then let's also recommend removing every newborn's left eye. If their baseline experience is having no depth perception, how would they know the difference, right? Pirates with an eye patch are sexy, and they won't have issues with eye infections on that side anymore!

even if you steal my password (database)

That's a big leap you're doing there, equating stealing a password to stealing a password database. Those are very different. Stealing a password can be done through regular phishing, or a host of other methods that don't require targeted effort. Stealing a password database, if properly set up, is a lot harder than that. It depends of course on what password manager you're using, but it usually involves multiple factors itself. So equating that to just a password, no matter how strong and random, is just misleading.

Mind you, I agree that it's less secure than "proper" MFA, and I'm not saying that everybody should just use MFA through a PW manager. I am using physical security keys myself. But for a lot of regular people that otherwise just couldn't be bothered, it's absolutely a viable alternative that makes them a whole lot safer for comparatively little effort. Telling them they just shouldn't bother at all is just going to create more victims. There is no such thing as perfect security, and everyone has a different risk profile.

More like 1.5FA, at least. It still protects against passwords being compromised in any way that doesn't compromise full access to your password database, which is still a lot better than using just passwords without a second factor.

Didn't want to be too combative from the start lol

Like it or not, words have meaning, and black and white thinking is comfortable, but doesn't help anyone. There is still a massive difference between the gates foundation having a 0.5% stake in Kurzgesagt and them being "owned" by PE, and pretending otherwise just means you're not actually interested in any kind of productive discussion.

For electric heating, you basically only have two options, heat pumps and resistive. Within just that comparison, 100% is the lower limit.

If you want to compare it to other types of heating, efficiency becomes much harder to measure, because the inputs can differ.

If you're using electricity generated by burning fossil fuels it's simple enough, but the "100% efficient" resistive heating loses again because you could just burn the same fossil fuels in your home to heat it directly which is much more efficient.

If you're using renewable power, then "efficiency" kinda becomes meaningless because you're using entirely different resources to produce the heat, so you can only try to abstract it by using either money or environmental impact per unit of heat as a stand-in. I don't have the numbers on it right now so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think resistive heating would actually be more expensive than fossil-fuel based heating, generally speaking - there's a reason that it's not really a wide-spread thing for heating whole homes.

So unless I'm wrong on something here, resistive heating is really not going to be among the most efficient options, unless you specifically only look at environmental impact and are using regenerative sources for it. But even then, the heat pump just wins by miles.

It is solid logic, as long as you're only utilizing heat that would have been produced anyway, independent of whether it's used productively or not. It goes bad if you start justifying inefficient hardware for longer than you otherwise would have because of it.

Bringing this general issue up in a thread about Kurzgesagt, without also providing evidence that Kurzgesagt specifically is actually part of that issue, is at best irrelevant and at worst misleading though

Do you have actual evidence for Kurzgesagt being among PE-owned channels, or are you just extrapolating? Because the video you linked doesn't mention them, and a quick search didn't turn up anything about that.

Summit embeds just the thumbnail, which had me confused for a sec until I noticed the link to the video below it that I could click and that played perfectly fine then.

if you are entitled to using a paid version for free (e. g. students, educators) you cannot opt-out of sharing your code.

That is incorrect. According to the page you linked elsewhere:

For individuals on non-commercial licenses: Data sharing is enabled by default, but you can turn it off anytime in the settings.

(Emphasis mine)

And for all other cases it's opt-in. No idea how you got from that that you cannot opt-out. It literally says the opposite.
