You beat me to the punch. I fully abandoned Google and Facebook over two years ago. No regrets.

When KeePassRPC (version 1.13.0 or higher) detects a previously authorised client which uses the same encryption key as the one used during a successful exploit of the first related vulnerability fixed in KeePassRPC 1.12.x, we display a warning message.

In the current version of KeePassRPC, this reads:

Your KeePass instance may have previously been exploited by a malicious attacker.

The passwords contained within any databases that were open before this point may have been exposed so you should change them.

What I like about this article is that they just find a few weirdos in Japan who actually end up doing that, and you get a blanket statement like "Audiophiles in Japan" while the proper headline should be "A few crazy old rich people". Journalism at its best.

That depends on what categorizes "Audiophiles". If out of a million self-proclaimed audiophiles, a few hundreds are genuine ones and if out of those, a few tens are behaving this way, I think it can be reasonable to say that the audiophiles are behaving like that ;) You must be aware that the audiophile community lives in a completely different world, where recreating sound is of more importance to them than rather enjoying the music on its own. The amount of money and time these people put in satisfying their "passion" is unrealistic. So, no. The article is right in talking about the weirdest of the weirdos ;)

Would have been a better title if it named the material instead of making it sound like a new concept.

Memory metal's been around since 1949: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape-memory_alloy

Same thing. I don't understand what exactly is the difference?
