Not necessarily. Presumably the change password form requires entering the old and new password at the same time. Then they can compare the two as plain text and hash the old password to make sure it matches, then if so, hash the new password and overwrite it. Passwords stored hashed, comparison only during the change process. A theme on this is checking password complexity rules during the login process and advising to update to something more secure. It's possible because you're sending the password as plain text (hopefully over a secure connection), so it can be analysed before computing the hash. This even works if the hash is salt and peppered.

Hidden and Dangerous

Only H&D2 is on steam

The original was fantastic and v2 built on that. Fantastic 3rd person WW2 tactical shooter. Haven't seen anything like it in over 20 years since.

What set up do you have?

Buy a USB floppy drive for each one and then create a RAID 0 disk array. It'll be super quick and gloriously noisy.

Big fan of good quality music reproduction. I'm no audiophile, but I have a HiFi I'm happy with. Had the same set of speakers for 20 years, bought an Audiolab 6000a last year after suffering with a poor second hand receiver for a few years and it's so nice to have dynamics and some punch back. Mostly paired with a Wiim mini or a NAD CDP.

I can tell the difference between 320 mp3 and FLAC (there's some online comparison test / quiz that I can get right 80% of the time). I don't have particularly good hearing, bit once you know what to listen out for then its quite apparent when it's not there. Storage is cheap so all my CDs are ripped to FLAC now, because even if I can't hear the difference on every track, why not?

My Mrs happily listens to music through her phone speaker or some cheap Bluetooth headphones. I know it shouldn't, but it really annoys me. She's also the kind of person who won't stop to take a stone from their shoe and end up with a big painful blister on their foot

No human had a hot shower before a hundred years ago and now I have at least one a day

Scrub with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then rinse with mouth wash twice a day.

Bought a Helix LT a few months and have basically not used my tube amp since. There is a bit of option paralysis with it. I have about 20 patches set up now with various snapshots, previously I had about a dozen pedals. There's definitely more options, but part of me thinks there's maybe something missing at times.

Its basically gone and died already. It's as if it never existed to almost everyone, even those who watched it first time are not re-watching it.
