Serious question: what is a US multinational?

Exactly. Some of the digital ones have haptic feedback but I've never played to know how good they feel, and they are very, very expensive. I don't even have space for it, really, so I'm just window shopping. :)

The point of this post was the ASMR factor, but it did lead me down a bit of a rabbit hole and now I'm ogling $5,000 digital pinball machines.

Have you considered joining the reserves? I've been a pacifist my entire life but am wondering about it now.

Devil's advocate: the better question is what percentage of Canadians will eventually max out their TFSA?

I don't think it's a good policy anyway, as the administrative overhead of managing yet another registered investing account (or making TFSA reporting more complicated) is more hassle than it's worth.

I can think of easier ways of compromising the data besides brute forcing the keys, off the top of my head, and I'm just some schmuck. Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/538/

  1. Compromise their endpoint with a malicious app on the app store.

  2. Gain physical access to the device and compromise it. Use your imagination – pickpocket, traffic stop or customs inspection by a compromised agent, seduce them with a honeypot, etc.

  3. Socially engineer them to mistakingly add you to their group chats.

  4. SIM swap

Signal might be fine for journalists, criminals, cheating spouses, and general privacy when used properly with good OpSec but nation state adversaries have significantly greater resources than your average attacker, and thus require more significant security.
