Weekly Update 165

Yes, I'm in my car. I'm completely disorganised, rushing to the next event and really didn't plan this very well. But hey, what an awesome little soundproof booth it is! That said, I did keep this week deliberately concise... until I went to edit it and then Adobe Premiere (or the NVIDIA drivers on my laptop) decided to turn a 16 minute video clip into a multi-hour shit-fight. That's before the multi-hour upload process too because "Australia" ?

3. You'll also need to pay FinecoBank €0.95 if you'd like to change your password (frankly, I'd be more inclined to change my bank!)

5. 1Password has had a $200M funding injection (I have enough faith in their leadership to believe they'll do great things with it)
