> In the current Iranian war the UK is only allowing it's bases to launch defensive missions, i.e. strike offensive capability

If Iran struck all of the UK's missile factories and military bases, would it be considered a defensive or offensive action?

I'll believe that you believe that your bank statements only need to be private for a year, when you upload all of yours until a year ago.

Signatures aren't as urgent to replace as encryption keys are. You can wait until someone is about to build a quantum computer, then change all your signatures. Encrypted data is more critical because the NSA's going to store all internet traffic for centuries if it thinks it can decrypt it later.

In terms of actually doing it, it's still very remote, but not as remote as it would have to be for us to completely ignore it. And the NSA has massive data centers full of hard drives storing our encrypted internet traffic.

Just make a new one and start using it for new things. Move things over piecemeal. You don't have to close your old account.

Do casual computer users use the word "malware"? I think people only know the term "virus" but when I say "windows is a computer virus" everyone thinks I'm insane.

I can see that chrooting into an empty folder can make it look like everything is deleted but it's actually the mkfs command that deleted everything.

I think it's a case of projection. Megatech CEOs feel that avoiding interactions with peons is the most important thing, so they add this feature assuming that everyone else also wants that.
