    Technically Pixel 6 has the pKVM feature too (I have the terminal app from the feature drop when it was added). We're just missing DP alt mode introduced from Pixel 8 onwards

    I do wonder if part of it is down to Android default animation speeds.... Pixel 6 here, Gboard snappy enough. Something I do on every android device I own though is go into develop…

    Reading through their guidance they don't really mention anything about password strength indicators being a good or bad idea. Sure, they list out a set of rules to verify password…

    I think it's unfair this comment has been flagged or downvoted or whatever. It's pragmatic information! The mobile hotspot thing... I have to do that to do anything involving Okta.…

    Thanks, I'd not found these yet! Very helpful :) > Until you know more, strongly consider suggesting the company just hires someone who knows that. Just because you're available to…

    I'm in that boat. I'm watching all of Christoph Paar's cryptography lecture series on YouTube -- it was recorded in 2010, so I do wonder if it's missing any new state of the art / …

    Huh, I'm in the UK and certainly every time one of my workmates has said "to table" something it's meant "let's stop fucking talking about this now"

    Chromecast Audios are still easy to pick up on eBay (or if you're in the UK, CeX, that's where I got one). Any old cheap plug tied to Home Assistant (or plain old Google Home in my…

    I think you have good points in your middle paragraph, but I disagree with your first sentence. I can see a growing trend of dismissive "this reads like it's AI-generated" when I f…
