    Great talk
    Using humour gets information into people brain without building barriers .
    Using the freechild is far more effective than lecturing on the adult level as barriers are not built straight away . However put something over with humour the seed is planted . It is called transactional analysis

    Regarding the iPod touch pricing. The Most expensive model is the least gigs/dollar. I wonder how this fits into the context? Everything I purchase is made by cost per unit, not by price itself.

    Using an online password manager is basically using the same password for everything but with extra steps, if the password manager gets breached, which is a thing that does happen, you're fucked. Though I'm totally for using a "password manager" in the form of a physical or digital (offline) leger where you store your passwords, best would probably be physical. As long as your passwords are unique and hard to guess (in terms of entropy and resitense to dictionaries), your only challenge is keeping the passwords secret. There are methods for generating secure easy-to-remember passphrases like this (for example diceware)

      And: Don't use them as written, have "secret rules". Like all letter A's become 7's, or something. So even if your list is compromised it becomes useless

      Fun. that is opening up a huge vulnerability to social engineering techniques. All passwords on one copyable sheet, with all the information. Seeing as your using it whilst browsing, you probably have it near your pc. I'm guessing you have a pc because your commenting on an old conference video. You probably don't stick it on your monitor, too young for that, but there is probably a drawer to your right contain a leather booklet full of orderly complicated passwords. There is really nothing stopping me from calling your mom/roomate/S.O and claiming that there is a dangerous hard-drive full of Really illegal material, like idk im gonna say you stole the louvres collection of nfts in a daring heißt with me your online friend that you sometimes talk to and that they really need to pack up all your hard drives and corrospoing passwords and bury them at these specific coordinates in the woods so we can pick them up again after the cops come knocking. That person will be slowly walk to thier car with every password in toe in less then 7 minutes. Seriously nothing is safe. Write down a new password every time and place the pieces of paper in every corner of the house locked away with only one phisical key or something idk no system is safe

      Any method you use; Physical, password manager, etc, you will be storing all of your passwords in the same place. So the only difference is that if you store physically in say some kind of notebook or document there is no master password and anyone who finds these automatically knows all of your login information, While with a password manager there is first of all less chance of compromise (It's harder to crack the security of a password manager then to find an unencrypted notebook/document) and second there is an added step of the master password.
      In other words you are wrong. Dangerously wrong

    32:14 - 32:38 Insulting / mocking an audience member in front of hundreds of people might not be a good way to win favor. After his poor attempt at humor at 42:02, I shut him off. Stick to your topic. It's not politics.

      Yeah, his talk did have its fair share of that plus needless tangents and jokes that went on for too long. Also the notion that not using a password manager being objectively bad practice is just flat out wrong. Come to think of it, very little of these 50 minutes where specifically about social engineering in the context of security, most of it was either the aforementioned jokes or about deceptive marketing techniques, he didn't stay on topic for very long.
