Pretty good disclosure text. There are much bigger companies that don’t manage to be this clear.
The only nitpick I have is saying “encypted” with bcrypt, even though they clearly know that bcrypt only hashes things.

Ah this bit is sad. The exception only covers bypassing DMCA protections to fix your own stuff not distributing the tooling for it.
It is still a crime for iFixit to sell a tool to fix ice cream machines, and that’s a real shame. The ruling doesn’t change the underlying statute making it illegal to share or sell tools that bypass software locks. This leaves most of the repair work inaccessible to the average person, since the technical barriers remain high. Without these tools, this exemption is largely theoretical for many small businesses that don’t have in-house repair experts.
I got a weird one. Multiple friends, including one who is diagnosed with autism and one who is diagnosed with ADHD and family members have asked me if I thought I had some form of neurodivergence. The autist friend thinks probably autism, the ADHD friend thinks maybe ADHD. The others, who don’t know much, mostly asked about autism or aspergers. But I don’t see ASD as fitting at all.
I’m quite introverted and don’t do well in big social situations, sure. I also don’t deal well with conflict even if I’m not directly involved. But I have no issue with faces, or eye contact, or body language, or reading emotions, or sarcasm.
I’m quite analytical in my thinking, but not overly so, I would say. Sometimes I get episodes of hyper-focus where I stay on a task for unnaturally long, not managing to take a break to eat and such. That one is a bit suspicious, but it’s also a pretty rare occurrence.
