The fingerprint only switched the USB connection on; nothing on the card was encrypted.

      Kind of like that, yeah, but with a solid helping of “I tried to warn you idiots two decades ago, and you dismissed me as alarmist” thrown in for good measure.

      Present company excluded, obviously.

          And speaking of feels, you just made me feel like I made a friend. A virtual friend, perhaps. But a valuable and appreciated friend nonetheless.

            That’s one of my goals here, ngl. I want to show people that it’s possible to spread love anonymously online. All the best to you.
