That's not easy. I mean it's not that hard computationally but you're talking about very specific attack requiring some dedicated tools. Real life you would have two scenarios:

  1. You trying to break into my specific account like gmail. This will not help you because they will rate limit you, use captcha and eventually just block you.
  2. You have a leaked list of thousands/millions password hashes and my password is among them. Hackers would just use existing rainbow tables. They will not think 'hey, maybe some of those passwords use song lyrics, let's check'.

This would be bad pretty much only in the very specific scenario of hackers trying to hack my specific account and having leaked hashes of password for this account.

Still I wouldn't really use this method. I'm just saying it's better method than some printed card generating short alphanumeric password.

True story: some newspaper in Poland organize a competition for the weirdest name. The guy who won had last name of 'Zyc or Cyc' (in polish, of course). Basically when his grandfather was registering his name some guy couldn't read it or something so he put 'Zyc or Cyc' and it stayed like this in the documents.

According to this guy when police would stop him and try to write a ticket they would get confused and ask him which one was it? He would say that maybe they shouldn't write anything because their boss will they they're stupid or something. They would usually let him go.

Crack how? With 4-5 words you're going to have a pretty long password so bruteforce is out. Do you mean that if you will have one of my password you will have the rest? That's because I gave you obvious example as a joke. What if my password is TakePicturesOfYou. What other password are possible? How will you crack them?

Better idea: memorize lyrics to a song, for each website choose a different starting word, use 4 consecutive words as password. You only have to remembered one number per page, you don't need to print anything and you can have longer passwords.

Mine connects through pihole with all LG domains blocked. I'm not getting any update request, notifications or anything. Just Netflix.

I guess it's for some startups that want to run streaming service from their garage.

Nothing. 6.6.6 was already released.

All grocery stores where I live have this device consisting of swivelling plank separating the packing area into two. If someone is slow at bagging the clerk will simply move the plank and all groceries go into the second half where the second person can bag them. It gives the first person time to bag and the next customer again has their groceries place in the first half.

That's it! That's the final straw. I'm not going to buy it after all.

What's in the contract between Google and Samsung? What exactly are the conditions for including both stores? Can any phone manufacturer get the same deal? What are the requirements for licensing Android? What number of phones on the market don't include Play Store by default? What % of applications are only in Play Store?

Monopoly is not about exceptions but about market control. Until you know what companies have to do to use Android and function on the market you can't really tell if it's monopoly or not.
