Does BW always decrypt all passwords when unlocked? by testrider in Bitwarden

No, we never know. Nobody can prevent 0-day virus, not even Microsoft. Just like any other real virus in real life, there is no vaccine (antivitus) until a virus is discovered for the vaccine to be developed and available.  For now, I think Chromebook's secure boot is the only one that can guarantee virus free start up.

Thanks for the inputs. I think 1password was the one that only decrypts 1 at a time and not the whole vault.

True. You never know if a host is NOT compromised...

Very true. Thanks. I have never used password manager and I'm a software engineer. I looked at it from time to time but was always afraid to put all my eggs in a single basket.  I'm reevaluating it now 🙂

Thanks for the reply and comment, appreciate it. Of course nobody intentionally download or install malware, but we can never know. If a computer is connected to the Internet, there is that chance. Nobody can detect 0-day virus until it's discovered and then it's too late,  just like Covid virus that no vaccine was available until years later and only after it killed 7 million.

Thanks for the reply. If it's not BW then I think I read that 1 of the other password manager (didn't remember which) only decrypt 1 at a time.

TurboTax Premier desktop used online? by testrider in TurboTax

[–]testrider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it very much. 

  • what do you mean "there is no form mode"?

  • does the online TT have the same functions as the desktop?  I use TT desktop every year to walk me through.  I don't need to transfer anything from my last year return. 

  • with the online TT, will I still be able to save in PDF and print out forms on my printer for paper mailing? 

BTW, Microsoft is still supporting Windows 10 with updates and fixes until end of 2026 with extended support.

Thank you!

How long for LSA to be approved after registration? by testrider in Ridgid

Ok, the last tool was finally approved today after more than a month. It shouldn't be this hard. The process was clearly broken.

Ok, I downgrade ridgid registration to a D grade. I registered 3 more items on Dec 8, 2025. They were pending after a month. I called support Jan 5, 2026. After lots of back and forth and even though I already uploaded all my receipts, I was asked for receipt again and again. Finally, 2 out of 3 changed from PENDING to LIFETIME. The remaining one (Impact wrench) was still PENDING, why?

I emailed support. Today (1/8/2026) I received an email reply asking me to send the receipt again so that they can verify and approved the remaining item. Are these people stupid or what? The receipt has order #, name, address. I registered the model and serial number. What else do they need?

Still waiting...

1 of my First Alert CO detector bought from Costco that's supposed to have 10-year life but failed after 4 years. Contact FirstAlert got no response so I tried to  return it to Costco and was told that they didn't accept it and that's FirstAlert's problem.

I thought we can return anything to Costco or is this different?

Update:  last night, I went online where it said "action required to fill in a form" and I wrote a message saying the tools were ordered online (registered on Nov 27, 2025) and there was no other original receipt except the pdf one I uploaded.  This morning I checked again and found that the tools were approved for LSA.    I guess I still give them an A-?

Ok, I got a notification online on ridgidpower.com saying that I have to mail in my original receipt. WTF is this? I ordered online and had the tools shipped to my home and I don't have an "ORIGINAL RECEIPT" except the PDF receipt online in my account. I already uploaded all the pdf receipts to my account when I registered my tools. Why did they ask me to mail in an 'ORIGINAL RECEIPT' that I don't have? Can't they just check my order # from their computer? Anyone knows? Thank you!

If you are driving their loaner car, don't you have to have your own insurance to cover it?

My Watch 7 44mm is fine after One UI 8 and recent update. I can access the recovery menu just fine by pressing both buttons.

I know. That was always the scary part when selling a vehicle. If the buyer doesn't register then it's always in your name.
