Dentist: So, do you floss?
Me: Do you use a unique password for every account?
@catsalad πŸ˜‚β€‹πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@catsalad answer: of course. It's "Iflo$$daily69@" + the service name πŸ˜‚
@xitrox @catsalad with that number in the password it’s not a bad idea to floss daily :D
@catsalad πŸ˜‚ I want to star this twice.

@catsalad @GossiTheDog

I do **one** of those two 😎

@catsalad LOL.

I literally want scolded 2 days ago. My automatic toothbrush of yore has stopped working so she convinced me also to switch to an automatic toothbrush again.

I went to Amazon and bought the first one I saw on sale. Turns out it was IOT, connects to my phone and I had to create an unique password for it. The app reminds you of flossing every day. I am not so sure how to think having my flossing data on the cloud.

FTW.

@aspuru Just wait until Big Dental buys that data and uses it to deny a claim.

@erswippe Thoght of that.
Luckily I live in #Canada

But yes my #Garmin sports watch is storing every heartbeat of mine on the cloud. That is quite creepy.

@aspuru @erswippe Heh, no need to worry in that respect; Garmin's lawyers have the leadership team far too scared about GDPR to even think about using your data. And even if they did, Garmin seems to buy up innovation in most areas lately rather than brew it up internally.

@aspuru @catsalad the industrial revolution and its consequences

@aspuru @catsalad fwiw: ultrasonic is to automatic, what automatic is to normal

And unlike Philips shavers, I really do find that the more expensive ones get better. Higher frequency and higher strength. This is one area of commercialism that I do find has benefited me and everyone else presumably.

Perhaps it’s the Dyson moment to vacuum cleaners, that they were to dusting brushes.

@catsalad I use the same password (which was exposed several times in previous hacks) on low value sites - those that don't take CC details and aren't email, SM or public forums. Convince me I'm wrong ;)
@catsalad I don't know any password! They're mostly like cozbel-2dEqju-wuttif
@catsalad πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@catsalad Best toot I've seen so far :)

Dentist: So, do you floss?
Me: Do you use a unique password for every account?

No idea...

@catsalad I hate seeing the networks at doctors offices.
@catsalad knowing how bad the it-security of doctors usually is...
@mxk @catsalad I once saw a password-less Wi-Fi network while in the ophthalmologist waiting room. I connected to it and I didn't get Internet. I thought "must be an unsecured printer then", but I opened 192.168.0.1 on the web browser and instead I saw retinal scans and patient names and ages 😱
@catsalad yeah, I floss: free, libre, and open-source software
@catsalad I'm fairly vigilant about both these days
@catsalad @lgatto it’s so hard to follow the good practice on all aspects :(
@catsalad if I could automatically floss every time I went to brush I’d floss a lot more :D
@catsalad @kwerb I need a password manager for flossing.

@jtlg @catsalad You must not have paid to renew your floss license.

Floss not FOSS!

@catsalad Yep. Might try to remember to use that next time πŸ˜‚

@catsalad Adding this to my snarky dentist.

 I'll file it next to the reminder of how close my hand is to his crotch in response to letting him know if I feel any pain. 

@catsalad Yes and yes! They can both save you a lot of trouble.
@catsalad oh loook at Big Password here telling everyone how to act, I'm using 1234 on every last account and you can't stop me, freedom!
@catsalad Ahaha. Same response: Sometimes.
@catsalad If they answer yes to that, would you be sufficiently impressed to floss for them?
@catsalad Getting a water-flosser is analogous to using a password manager
@catsalad I will have to remember this one.

@catsalad

Dentist: So, do you floss?
Destiny's Child: I got my own

Do you have a sense of humor?

Can you carry a tune?

@catsalad Cute, but I do use a password manager. I have no idea what my passwords are, and I like it that way.
@dankennedy_nu Yeah, it's actually pretty easy if you use a password manager. I should be flossing more though...

@catsalad I use a floss manager. πŸ˜‚
@catsalad absolutely, I will try LOL 
@catsalad You can tell a lot about a person based on which one of these they think is drastically more important.
(It’s the flossing.)
I use a variation of the same password for like, every account that doesn’t work with Safari's strong password generation, doing the bare minimum to get it to meet its requirements πŸ™ƒ
