At least according to the studies, and reports from people I work with and friends, yes, they do seem to work. Here you can read a Google translated article talking about the effects since the law came into effect in Chile in 2016: https://www-ciperchile-cl.translate.goog/2021/05/24/ley-de-etiquetado-evaluando-sus-efectos-en-consumidores-y-empresas-de-alimentos/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

It’s good to note that another consequence of this law, is that apart from the mascots being prohibited, it’s also prohibited to play ads for unhealthy foods (not sure if they need to specifically target children, or not) aren’t allowed until after a certain hour in the evening, like 9:00pm or something.

Chile started using these some years back. I honestly like them. We also did the mascot ban as well, so no Tony the Tiger, and even Pringles cans have a censored face

I just remember my mom buying a lot of batteries, and me being happy, because that meant I could have a lot of time with my Gameboy.

TIL that bible carts were developed for the Gameboy

Locks, lockpicking, and teaching English grammar.

A photo of one of my cats. Though in the past I used my face on WhatsApp. In Chile everyone uses WhatsApp for everything. Work, personal life, whatever

Wow! I never thought of it that way!

Good, because the $20,000CLP price is insane.

This is a hard one. So the first hurdle that I came across is with the font used for the padlock’s brand. My best guesses so far have been “Elsses”, “Elzzes”, or “Elcces”, but that doesn’t really turn up anything useful. This doesn’t surprise me much, though, because looking at the font of “Top Security” tells me that this is probably a pretty simple lock from a Chinese manufacturer. Given that it’s probably a basic 5-pin pin-tumbler lock loaded up with standard pins, which as you can probably imagine conflicts a bit with the “Top security” statement on the face of the lock, but that’s a typical thing these manufacturers do.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if the shackle was made from regular non-hardened stainless steel. It’s also likely that it used a regular latch on the inside instead of a ball-bearing, thus making it vulnerable to shim attacks. These two points being the most important since thieves will typically gravitate towards the quickest and easiest ways to get past security instead of taking the time to learn how to pick.

In the end, it’s an image that I see has been used for a number of posts and articles relating to security online. I wouldn’t be surprised if the manufacturer didn’t even exist anymore today.

Oh. Sorry, you were asking about password managers. I guess I got a little distracted. I use BitWarden. It’s pretty good.
