Help Eric Arduini and family
As some of you may know my brother was diagnosed in February of this year with a rare form of primary liver cancer that is unfortunately terminal. All funds will be donated to him and his family for medical bills and other household bills so that his family can spend the rest of his time with him and not have to stress about money as much during this difficult time.

PSA: Password managers are probably the safest way to establish and manage secure passwords, but they aren’t bulletproof. One security setting in particular is perhaps a bit too lax in some managers, which could give attackers a way to grab users’ passwords in certain situations.
