As a summer lifeguard when I was younger, I agree with the premise - drowning doesn't look it. Each time I encountered it the key was someone simply staring at me - they don't rais…

Absolutely! I now won't enter the site because they kill the back button.

Why would you want to? Just create a new passkey on the other machine. If you're saving them in a password manager, just create a new entry, "Another Machine's Passkey."

There are two types of passkeys (1) resident, hardware-bound, non-copyable, installed on Yubikey etc., and (2) non-resident, copyable. Technically, by not being copyable, a residen…

I've installed KeePassXC on my Mac and Linux machines and it stores Passkeys. Low-tech syncing is by Signal Notes to Self. If there were an audited app for iPhones I'd still be usi…

DuckDuckGo also suffered from the SEO infection, but recently - the last week or so, perhaps - it has improved. SEO probably still controls it, but when I put in "-Amazon" it does …

As a long-time user of KeePassXC, I switched because of the difficulty of syncing databases. Basically, I used the sneakernet and a thumb drive whenever I thought I needed to for f…

If there hasn't been a study of the negative effect of inviting crypto miners to use cheap energy I'm not surprised. It would probably show a huge negative effect and Texas isn't i…

I was told by a furniture store owner 20 years to use local cabinet makers to build bookshelves for you. He said never to have shelves installed in your house - a movable bookshelf…

My participation has changed since the API change. I use old.reddit and uBlock Origin as I always have. I limit myself to scanning a few sub-reddits to ensure nothing bad has happe…

Curious about how Passkeys work at the website level. Passkeys strikes me as essentially an authentication method. 1. Signing up or logging in to a website today you'd expect your …

My limited syncing requirements are met with Signal. Put something into "Notes to Self" and it then exists anywhere I have Signal, which is on everything.

That password thing isn't as useful as I'd hoped. Mine is maybe 20 digits and I use it frequently when I'm calling my phone carrier for routine activities - they do check it. For t…

I'm in the same boat. The people who understand Age assume everyone can use man pages. I can work my way through them, but I could really use a few explanatory articles with exampl…

On the positive side, "noblesse oblige" actually works in The West, e.g., The Shire, etc. - (that's how you can tell the books are fantasy.) The lords actually care for their peopl…

When it it runs, Linux is great, but when something breaks fixing it can be labor intensive. When something on Mac stops working a call to Mac support will usually fix it in a coup…

Yes. I was interested but finally gave up on the link before it loaded.

I agree with the concept of starting small - I didn't. I have various accounts in various banks and now have 26 accounts that need to be balanced, all in order to have live "net wo…

Amazon Sidewalk shares signals in a blatant misuse of my WiFi password.

My new 65" Sony has never been connected to the internet. We can't get 4K resolution, presumably because it's never been updated. Sony tells me they don't have a USB update availab…

If open-source routers don't interest you, you might try reviewing this site: https://routersecurity.org/ The short answer is the line of routers from Peplink, including their low-…

Recommendations for American electric kettles for use with hard water? Cleaning calcium residue out through a narrow opening sent me back to my microwave...

Nor do I. Their router recommendations are based on speed, with no consideration given to after purchase firmware updating. Their car reviews in the past were manipulated by choice…

* today: the Amazon shopping experience is so filled with bullshit that it’s actually easier to buy from the producer’s website and pay shipping* True - After Amazon search doesn't…

In case of a shooting war all those F-35 would get destroyed by cruise missiles before they could take off. Possibly, but aircraft in their sealed revetments are a difficult target…
