Interesting. So if you want to delete FB account and all your data, all you have to do is VPN from Iran?

One of the benefits of using the browser is that the generated PDF will be using vectors/fonts etc whereas Canvas will be mostly an image in the PDF. Not a big deal for the most use cases.

Well, you can use .pdfp to print it on Windows.
You will need adobe acrobat (free). This is a very old trick but still works on Windows 10. We use it with the latest edge.
I do wish that the browser had a special direct printing option.

I have FD in an Indian bank, and I lost the receipt/certificate they gave me. It's going to be a month-long process to get my money back.
In America, it's not like Indian bureaucracy levels of insane slowness.

.pdfp extension

I don't think there is any free/open option to scan from scanner.
The other option is to use puppeteer to print directly.
Let me know, if you figure it out.

I m that cynical boomer.
I use mostly apps like Whatsapp, and garage door opener.
Can't use banks apps as you can only login to one account.
Everything I do is on the browser. https://hn.premii.com & https://reddit.premii.com - almost 10 years old, it still works. No need to update the framework or need someone's approval.

Yesterday, someone posted a really nice editor too.
I wish one of this is available as a custom element with attributes and callbacks, and I can just use it.

I use google authenticator. I backup the QR code in the TrueCrypt vault when I add a new account to the google auth. I am not sure how secure it is, but I am very scared of losing access to google authenticator.

Ruckus offers one time PSK and PSK per vlan. Very easy. I started seperating my home devices on a different vlan.
Mikrotik, you can associte PSK with mac address. it's not easy to setup but basically, PSK & mac address need to match in order to access the network. I think it also puts user in the configured vlan.
