I also find some difficulty in reading the next word because of the animation obscuring it; this has my net wpm at 61, but my monkeytype average wpm is ~120

ON only one occasion in ~20 years, someone refused to do business with me because they thought I was impersonating them and told me I was being disrespectful by using their brand as my email, and even after explaining how it works they weren't happy.

Locked iPhone owned by law enforcement target will accept remote firmware push from trusted device?

some endpoint protection services will block anything not signed by a trusted signature or that doesn't match an allow-list of known-good file hashes

I thought branches happened when a wavefunction 'collapsed' -- i.e. for every possible value of the wavefunction, you get a branch with a unique answer for 'value of the wavefunction'?
