I agree and always write it like that at first, but it’s also true that for example fifty kilodollars (50k$) just looks better as $50k

…although it might just be silly enough that it works…

One could argue there aren’t enough pixels and the artist just “filled in the blanks”

But will you be punished for not telling them that the key is under the mat? They will get in either way. They can get into your hard drive with brute force too, it’s just a wee bit more trouble for them.

This feels weird to me. If your password is “ILikePotato”, which is then used to decrypt a text file that contains “IStoleTheMonaLisaAndReplacedItWithAPhotocopy”, how is that any different in terms of “incriminating yourself” than if it was the other way around…?

And if you actually forgot your password, that’s 3 months jail for you, because they’ll hardly believe you? Better have just one so you’ll surely remember!

I wonder, if you use special markings to keep track of your illegal doings, and one of your notebooks is found during a search, are you required to assist in deciphering the contents of it? That’s basically the same thing as decrypting your hard drive.
