I mean, this might be a complete waste of time. But it’s ironically funny how “serious” he is about changing how the public calls “boneless chicken wings”, and how proud his council member father is, “that’s my son, right there!”. It isn’t any worse than one of those reality TV shows.

There are two types of passkey. Syncable and device-bound. (see https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/). Theoretically, the device-bound passkeys never leave the device and users don’t have any access to it except to use it for authentication. The syncable type will first and foremost be synced by the platforms themselves (Google, Microsoft, and Apple), but eventually the 3rd-party password managers will be allowed to be sync providers, but possibly only on newly-released OSes.

As far as I know, the passkey implementations currently on Android and Windows are device-bound; they are not synced to the cloud.

It works for Google, Adobe, and Github for me, on Firefox; those are all the sites I use that support passkeys. It even works with Firefox on Android 13.

Do you have Windows hello enabled? You may want to investigate this more.

This is from the horse’s mouth: https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/

It is a FIDO alliance protocol. This is meant to replace/supplement password, not as 2FA. The sites I use that implement it, Google, Adobe, and Github use it to supplant both the password and 2FA. Cool thing about it is more less: 1) unphishable 2) doesn’t matter if the website’s passphrase data leaks.

Good question. My bad.

And Tiktok!

Firefox ESR 102.15 & windows 11 (Hello) seem to work fine.

Yeah, neither seems likely any time soon.

Yeah, it spreads to everybody that is a “threat” to the power that be.

Thx. You don’t seem to be the only one.

In July 2022, Charlie Osborne of ZDNet suggested that individuals who suspect a Pegasus infection use a secondary device with GrapheneOS for secure communication.

Well, that’s most terrifying. Can you do anything about it except not using smartphones?

Sure, justifying for your own folks. 🤪

Yeah, no Google either. I heard Apple is currently spending over a million dollar a day for AI training. Soon, you’ll have something beyond Siri.

I wonder if, for Meta, being open-sourced wouldn’t fit the company with the rest. Also, for now, it looks like a publicity stunt with no real teeth. Those more substantial AI companies maybe holding out for more favorable treatments.

Yes, there’s already an update.

Since webp is Google’s, I wouldn’t be surprised that everybody is using Google libwebp’s derived code to display webp images. There was an advisory to check updates for ALL your browsers on ALL platforms. Edge also had a recent update.

No, unfortunately, I haven’t. Maybe sometime…

Opting out is likely impossible for people living outside the GDPR area right now.

You are right. The EMUI outside of China is still based on Android with its own eco-system, although the other EMUI is also based on HarmonyOS which may/may not be compatible with Android, especially in the future. It seems, the phone has disappeared from some international markets altogether, the countries being friendly to China or not, probably because consumers are worried that their phones wouldn’t be supported by critical apps.
