    Yes, we've seen you repeat that we have to read it again. I reread this morning before the post, but really just found more things supporting my position. > To be very honest here,…

    Even with the current flimsy "What about iPhones?" defense against attestation, is there anything stopping say Microsoft from just forcing you to install a different app to use Mic…

    Well, having your passkey provider blocked for doing that might stop you. https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407 Of course, they might just block you for not bein…

    It just wasn't an important consideration, unlike the attestation anti-feature.

    The important part is the GDP is now increased because of the cost of energy and additional hardware needed expand and then compress the original data. Think of the economic growth…

    They're probably just trying to not get their implementation blackballed with the attestation feature like one of the FIDO devs immediately threatened to do to keepass: https://git…

    And how long until the attestation feature is used to ban their implementation? The threats have already been made to keepass.

    Can't comment on Google specifically but hidden scrollbars mean I often don't realize a dialog has scroll bars until I reach out into the dark edges to find what I hope is there. M…

    I've definitely seen them. A quick search shows them available at BestBuy and Walmart at least.

    IIRC the rule Mastercard cited was so vague that trying to workaround it almost seemed potentially pointless. It was basically a blanket "we think it makes MasterCard look bad so w…

    There's a youtube channel shadiversity that I haven't watched in awhile. It is mostly about fantasy media and swords but also spends a lot of time on medieval building techniques a…

    The silly part is unraid has all the pieces to do this. The btrfs file system which unraid supports for array disks could identify bitrot, and the unraid array supports virtualizin…

    I can only assume our accounts are linked by address and they do the recall notice (at least) by account address. In other words, they aren't linked but kind of are anyway.

    Can't they just go back to selling crack cocaine to fund themselves again?

    For some reason I received a recall notice for one of these from Amazon but I don't recognize it and could not find any purchases in my order history. I vaguely recall my wife migh…

    I read the FAQ on mine and it assures me it is totally safe and the voice cannot be forged. This mechanism was defeated in a hacker movie from the early 90s using a tape recorder b…

    Reminds me of the meme where they tricked an AI into deciphering a CAPTCHA by pasting the CAPTCHA crudely on top of a picture of a necklace and asking it to help read the inscripti…

    Yeah, but they can't wash the copyright off of that source code without an LLM as a go between.

    Yes, Capital One offers a similar virtual card service and when I read into the fine details it wasn't as useful as a thought. There were seemingly exceptions that could override s…

    F2P creates this problem. If you're eating $20-60 per account every time your anti-cheat is burned it isn't much fun anymore. But if you can roll new accounts for free, there's not…
