    They seem to have calmed that down in recent years, and rely on the dumb public to store all their secrets on readily accessible corporate servers.

    The maths war is hard to win (bigger keys handle most of that), and I honestly doubt most current encryption can be beaten reliably even with quantum computing.

      Ive never understood how the same crowd that spouts not your keys not your crypto would ever trust any password manager they havent personally read the source code for/compiled/self hosted.

      Not your server not your safe/secure password

        Because the pop security YouTube crowd goes through great lengths to avoid these conversations which reveal the limits of their own knowledge and abilities. Because a YouTube channel which just says “you are vulnerable to state actors and should focus on protecting yourself from more benign threats” doesn’t generate as much traffic as shilling VPNs.

      It’s because they don’t care about encryption when they can just side channel the endpoints. You can infer device state from observing EM emissions, and in theory observe keys being loaded into the registers under the right circumstances. This has been demonstrated conceptually many times over the past decade, using a wide variety of devices and methods.
