Da Red goez fasta. Hence the router beats the non red router to the punch.

No Valve system is console like. The PC / Console difference has always been that consoles are a walled garden. Consoles are PCs to be easy to use and not allow unauthorized software to run on it.

It's not though. We get the machine code for programs we run on our PCs. All the logic is provided to the end user. The only protection these days, is not doing all the game logic on the end users PC.

They don't organize over Instagram. One of many social accounts had issues. Around 3000 communities participated. They are doing fine.

I had been using Gemini to build OpenScad models. The other day Gemini mentioned CadQuery as an option. It's essentially OpenScad for Python. The big plus is b-rep modeler.

I still can use my password. I use the passkeys for the convenience and extra security. If I lost all my devices I would just login with my password and add a new passkey. I would also remove any for devices that I don't control or are damaged. I suspect even if the site were passkey only, they would have some account recovery workflow.

Can you login using a password on an untrusted PC and be sure it's still safe? And there is no lock in. You can have multiple passkeys from different providers I have Windows and Android setup for my bank. The lock in conspiracy doesn't even make sense. Who benefits. Let's just say Google tried to only allow passkeys. Why is my bank going to drop passwords and enter into passkey only relationship with Google and/or Apple. If I have that power I am not going to use a web standard anyone can implement. I would use a proprietary system that nobody else can.

It's not though. Passkeys are meant to allow you to have multiple. They also don't need to replace passwords. Take my bank setup. I have a password, a windows passkey and an android passkey. I saved the time needed to setup the passkeys, the very first time I used them. The passkeys are easier to use, than my password, and more secure.

It breaks the traditional login paradigm. I had a hard time trying to setup a single device as my passkey manager. Now I realize that you should make one on all your devices. My bank website, I have my password and two separate passkeys. Individual sites may have an implementation issue, but in that case I use the more troublesome password workflow. I still come across password implementation issues on some sites.

Passkeys are always more secure.

It's the Walmart Effect at internet speeds.

The public isn't saying anything of the sort. Police are buying them or cities. It's justified by telling us it makes us safer, but it's not. Let's be honest, if you have a license plate number, the alpr system probably isn't that useful. Criminals steal cars and license plates. Immigrants and activists don't.

It isn't an effective panopticon. It can find people who aren't trying to hide. How hard is it going to be to fool if you can subvert it with a few fake plates (even easier to make with those convenient paper plates and it). An effective system wouldn't be creating a bunch of false positives. Luigi Mangione got caught because of one security cam. If he had just changed his look, we would never have got the hostel picture.

January 6th was not a surveillance society win. It was a flash mob that live streamed their crimes, along with identification done by private individuals sleuthing in forums and chat groups.

The Nancy Guthrie case felt like ring cameras and Flock or traffic cams should have figured it out in no time. Yet it didn't happen. I feel like this is going to be something that only really works in cases, where investigation would solve it.

Luigi Mangione got caught because he messed up. A simple change of clothes or ditching the very individual looking items he was carrying. If he had done that, you wouldn't have had a facial ID on him.

The Nancy Guthrie case on the other hand went nowhere, because we couldn't definitively make a match.

On the other hand we have multiple instances of bad data causing people to be subject to being targeted by the police. We have police threatening or arresting people based on a lack of corroboration. Some times ignoring clearly exonerating evidence.

The world is a better place without license plate cams.

Cannabis use is the reason. Daily cannabis use has surpassed daily alcohol use in the US. Add on that it's generally perceived as not as bad for you. Finally the population brought up drinking is dying off.

I personally can't do that. I deal with aphantasia (I can't visualize anything in my head). I can put something in the fridge and not realize it's there, unless I can see it. Then on the other hand I can create 20+ character passwords (no words, numbers, symbols) and not need to write them down. I have way above average memory recall, but will often forget about items aren't normally in the fridge.

Vertical mounted bifacial panels are more efficient than horizontal mounted panels.

In California most of the land around the aquaduct is valuable cropland. The other side of it is at risk of wildfire.

There isn't a need for more copper. The canal already has electrical transmission lines.

Almost all the fields in the area is being used for valuable crops. It would be difficult to harvest them if solar panels were installed.

The wind on the valley side of the coastal range is intense. A cheap shade will need considerable maintenance.

There is little chance two separate projects would be cheaper than a combined project.

The GPL was released February 25th 1989 and the Free Software Foundation was founded in 1985. Open source was a concept already.

My read sees pi as a starter kit. It's job is to build personal workflows and not to dictate a workflow. Copy on the site calls it minimal and tells us to 'adapt pi to your workflow, not the other way around.' In other words a fleshed out pi is unique to you.

To switch off, just stop using Keepass. If you want want delete the entry on the site. You don't need to, since your Keepass file should be secure and passkeys are designed allow multiple for a site. Passwords are not equal to passkeys and not difficult to add. Everyone seems to think you need to create new passkeys for all your websites. You don't, add them as you go. The hassle of adding it should be less than using a password to login.

If you want to change it maybe tough. It doesn't have to be. Bitwarden has an open source self hosted option(you can also use their service), that can be set as provider in Android and Windows 11. KeepassXC is an option everything is in your kdbx file. Passkeys are so much more convenient and secure. If you do get stuck having to migrate, you can use your password (I would actually prefer just using multiple passkeys.) You don't need to do them all at once. Your average user is probably using whatever their device offers or nothing at all. I'd argue anyone that is tech savvy shouldn't be using either Google or Apple. If your account is disabled, you probably just lost anyway to retrieve your account unless you use a separate email address. I recently discovered cross device auth when a device I had a passkey was able to open my account on my pc that didn't have a passkey. TLDR ther are simple solutions that solve the 'lock in' issue.

I have to think people aren't doing any research. Both Android and Apple sync your passkeys to your account. You can toss all your devices in a wood chipper, buy a replacement and still have access to all your passkeys.

1) Install a keepass client and use it for passkeys.

2) See #1

3) See #1

KeepassXC supports passkeys. They suggest a couple mobile apps that also do.

You aren't considering all the advantages of passkeys.

Passkeys only work on the domain they were created for. Password managers usually default to providing the password of the current website, but nothing stops you from pasting that in at any site.

There is no danger to the credential db being stolen. The website only has your public key.

A website using passkeys can support cross device authentication which allows you to login to on a computer without it ever seeing your credentials.

I'm sure that isn't a complete list. My last point, despite all the comments here, there is no vendor lock in. Bitwarden provides an open source self hostable option. On both Android and Windows 11, you can change your passkey provider to Bitwarden. A proper passkey implementation, should allow multiple passkeys to provide access. My bank does exactly that.

Passkeys have an advantage in that the server doesn't have your password and every passkey should be unique.

This is one of the key security features of passkeys. I did a little searching and the work around is to do a standard fake website that prompts for your standard credentials. That should be a fairly simple fix. Require access from a new device to be authorized from another source with an explanation that they will never request this info.

Unfortunately probably implementation specific, but you don't always need to have multiple passkeys. There is cross device passkey login. I had this occur in the last couple weeks. Evidently I had created a passkey on my phone. Logging into that site on my PC, it identified that I had a passkey and allowed me to authenticate using my phone.
