This is impressive! Perhaps this is because I’m from an English-speaking country, but I believe even in the real Criterion Closet, the spine title text orientation is top-to-bottom…

There's a more-recent post on the same blog that gets into the details of how they're using the WebAuthn PRF extension to store key material, but for platforms and browsers that do…

The posts tend to get quickly flagged and thus buried. Search the archives for relevant names and keywords, and you’ll see lots of relevant yet flagged posts. Even discussions abou…
