They should move out, turn it into a museum and set up a fit for purpose modern assembly building. Possibly somewhere like Birmingham, Leeds or Manchester.

The smell of people in general. Not sweat as such, just that 'human' aroma. - hate it. Public transport is awful. Funnily enough, I can't differentiate between people, they all smell the same.

It's a very large glitch in the matrix

And that's the point, a password vault is literally all your eggs in one basket. It only gives security if you are secure across the board.

I won't say which manager I use, but I used a 'tool' on it which cracked my access password in very little time revealing all my passwords. - a bit worrying.

Do I still use that manager? Yes, it's convenient and fits my risk profile.

Have I upgraded my master password? Yes. Less convenient, but is all a trade off.

If I was a higher profile target, my assessment may be different.

Size: height depth width.... Can be easy to miss one dimension. Energy rating - obvious reasons Noise depending on the room it's in Ergonomics - can you reach all the bits you need to... Imagine filling it with your weekly shop. - better energy rating=more insulation=less space. Doors can generally be reversed, but check. Some FFs have two compressor circuits, others only one. Can be important if keeping it in a garage. Do you need a water cooler/ice maker thing? More to clean, more to go wrong. YOUR FRIDGE DOES NOT NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION Nor does it need funky windows & stuff Self defrost is a must. We spent ages discussing colour, now you can barely see it behind pictures & papers etc.

Think " is this a useful feature for me, or is it marketing fluff? "

Finally, while a fridge should be a long term purchase, is just a box that gets cold. Don't lose sleep over it.

"And nothing was ever heard from him again, except for the sound of Tubular Bells."

That when I grew up I'd know what I was doing and my body would work.

Not really read up on it yet, but can you do serial over Bluetooth? Quick Google gave me this: https://raspberry-projects.com/pi/pi-operating-systems/raspbian/bluetooth/serial-over-bluetooth

There may even be an android app that could help. Suppose it depends on the scope of your project.

Funnily enough I may have to do something with this tech myself later in the year.

Physically? Knees, even though they are the victims of bad feet.

After much thought I feel ID cards have their place, we kind of have them now as places expect you to have a drivers licence or passport to prove ID or age. My problem with digital is that it isn't necessarily secure and by the time it's been done it'll be significantly over budget.

What about people without smartphones? - they do exist, and this scheme will risk marginalising some of them.

I think the scheme needs careful thought. One ID which the different organisations can scan to get data relevant to their needs only. NHS, tax, proof of age, proof of address, national insurance etc. If the card was sufficiently smart it could hold emergency data, allergies/ health issues, next of kin etc.

I'm comfortably into my second half century. In time I'll give up on passports and driving licences. I'll probably give up on smartphones as well (the screen's too small to see easily already). What then? I won't be able to prove my existence via the accepted means. I worry that the digital destitution will lead to physical destitution and isn't something I look forward to.

Digital isn't a panacea.

A physical ID card backed up with appropriately integrated government services rolling out over time would get my vote, but I'm confident it won't happen.
