    There are “defect detectors” on railways to warn engineers when their train has a chain, air hose, etc dangling and dragging along the ground - which is a potential for accidents of many varieties.

    I guess now you can replace that with trains that automatically stop when the Katamari of dislodged solar panels eventually builds enough mass to force a car off the rails.

    He did debate with Hasan on stream for like 3 hours and I’m sure (assuming) he got a lot of texts from his business partners (one of whom I understand is Muslim) so maybe he really did take a hard look at himself.

    I sure hope so because, man - what he said was ignorant AF.

    FPGAs would be considered “hardware emulation” but a lot of people don’t like that term, and think emulation should be a term limited to software.

    Like, there aren’t real N64 chips in there. The hardware IS emulating an N64 - it’s just not doing so in a way that’s comparable with software emulation at all.

  • What is a passkey, in practice? Is it a file? A token? Can I keep it in an USB drive? How can I save it in case of device loss?

    Passkeys are basically client certs for website logins.

    Server stores a public key, encrypts a challenge on login attempt. Client browser uses private key to decrypt challenge (and sign it maybe?) and respond to web server to authenticate.

    Hackers can’t get a shared secret (like a password or password hash) by hacking the website’s database becaus the public key is all they store; useless without the private key.

    Not foolproof, but much harder to exploit than passwords - which many people re-use across multiple sites.

    Bitwarden just announced a consortium with Apple, Google, 1Password, etc to create a secure import/export format for credentials; spurred by the need for passkeys to be portable between password managers (but also works for passwords/other credential types)

    All the major password managers store passkeys now. I have every passkey I’ve been able to make stored in Bitwarden, and they’re accessible on all my devices.

    Article is behind the times, and this dude was wrong to “rip out” passkeys as an option.

    Read the article, it’s literally about replacing Import/Export CSV plaintext unencrypted files with something more secure.

    I.e. moving your passwords/passkeys between password managers. This is not about replacing stuff like OAuth where one service securely authorizes a user for another.

    With passkeys you never need to worry about the storage method used by the site. Some sites STILL store passwords in plaintext. When that database gets hacked, it’s game over.

    A public passkey, even stored in plaintext, is useless to an attacker.

    Maybe that doesn’t matter for you or me, with our 64-character randomly generated passwords unique to each service, but the bigger picture is that most people just use the same password everywhere. This is how identity theft happens.

    Dial Tone

    Sometime, probably close to 20 years ago, but perhaps more recently, you heard a dial tone for the last time and you didn’t even realize it would be.

    We have Local Calendar now, which is great! Is there a way to add this calendar to programs like the iOS Calendar App, or Outlook, or anything like that? The idea would be that I would make a calendar more accessible for non-techie users, who don't access HA from a desktop browser often but might want to be able to see/edit certain calendars (light settings, sprinkler timing, etc). I can't find much info about this anywhere; I assume it's not currently possible?
