That is more or less what the old TrueCrypt (and also VeraCrypt) systems did. One password gets you the real data, the other opens a different partition that could be stuffed with dummy data.

True privacy/security night involve a hybrid, where it opens the device to the fake partition+profile but also kills off internal keys to the real data when the duress is used

    Not just car insurance. My house insurance went up 25-30%, and the agent said there's not much point in switching because companies "don't want to take on houses older more than 40yo"

    While my general Province hasn't been great for various disasters, my city and neighborhood are on the safer end. The house itself doesn't have any of the nasty stuff like asbestos, aluminum wiring, failure-prone plumbing, etc. The furnace was replaced when I moved in, AC and after tank are new within 5 years, and the roof was just done.

    It's just a fuck you tax at this point

    I have a couple PS3's. Bought used. No online games. I think I've bought more of their titles on PC than console.

    It's not even a boycott, I just haven't seen value in their recent offerings and would rather spend my money elsewhere.

    Really? Ripping kids away from their family and having everyone think their parent is as abuser based on an unsubstantiated "tip" from some rando is better?

    Both seem pretty fucking bad to me.

    And yet there's also a bunch of complaining when a (not very good) movie does poorly in the big office that is because of misogyny, racism, etc.

    Funny how you can have a GOOD movie with (talented) female actors of varying ethnicities and it still sells tickets very well.

    Hell, it doesn't even need to be able "resisting urges". I'd be more behind a guys-only gym where I'm less likely to end up in some random chick's social media session.

    Yes, guys do the social media crap too but at least in my experience they tend towards places that don't involve broadcasting everyone else (except maybe the dudes with the creep glasses, fuck them). I'm tired of having to dodge some glam-girl who has decided to make the beach, park, gym or whatever her personal studio and including me or my kids as unwilling participants in their narcissism.

    Yeah, it really depends on the album and the way the artist has put it together. Any sort of "mix" album if matters very little the order you play it in, or which songs. Something Iike a concert recording, an (e.g. Pink Floyd) album where one song transitions to another, or a Rock Opera that tells a story across songs, the specific songs played and order can matter a lot!

    I've got my own music collection on a self-hosted server which I can stream to my devices, and would love to have some sort of "not a singular/standalone" flag for songs which really don't fit or sound good outside of the larger album when I'm playing random/mix mode.
