Hardware tokens are physical objects that are subject to mechanical wear and tear and can be lost. Hardware tokens are also subject to ending up on a hardware attestation blacklist because of security weaknesses. I have already had to repla

OK. Let me know when I can migrate FIDO credentials from old Yubikeys to new ones. Earlier this year I almost lost a domain because $REGISTRAR forced 2FA and I had forgotten to add them to my key spreadsheet.

Corollary: If a digital product is not actively being sold, piracy is not stealing. No, an old physical copy being on sale on Ebay does not count. Nintendo, take note.

I'm still waiting for NIST to deprecate plain-text* passwords in favor of PAKE, and W3C to come up with a mechanism for that. *) plain-text here means any and all methods that give the attacker access to the original password, includin

Software that keeps revocation lists (or whatever they are called) up to date stopped accepting keys generated on that hardware. The Yubikey itself continued to work just fine, but I had to switch to externally generated keys.

The last time Infineon chips had a crypto-breaking bug, Estonians got new ID cards for free. Meanwhile my less than two months old Yubikey 4 stopped working as a hardware attested PIV smartcard.

Depends on the angle I'm looking at the screen. The top edge is visibly green while the bottom is clearly blue.

I've been planning on turning an old ambidextrous Logitech Marble Mouse into a cheap CAD spacemouse and this might be just what I need.

PKI, with I in bold quotation marks. While it supports serial numbers, expiration dates and key revocation lists, it does not allow certificate chaining. That means whoever signs keys for end users has implicit access to the master key.

One more: Make developer velocity one of your top priorities. You should be able to give anyone in your team the repo URL and have them running unit and local integration tests in five minutes without prior knowledge.

Is it related to the 11 year sunspot cycle or just a coincidence?

The SS7 telephone signaling network is regulated here because telcos could not be arsed to implement security measures themselves.

Not just randomly tilt - it will align itself with the poles of a spinning celestial body. It's used in applications that can't rely on correct magnetic variation, like surveying and aircraft inertial navigation systems.

But it's usually DHCP that sets the wrong DNS servers. It's funny that some folks claim DNS outage is a legitimate issue in systems whose both ends they control. I get it; reimplementing functionality is rarely a good sign, but si

Syntax is the easy part. The real difficulty is in trying to make sense of the whole ecosystem, including the strange runtime-IDE-hybrid approach.

My pet peeve is UX designers who design GUIs on large color-corrected desktop displays with no light reflecting on the screen, often with hairline fonts. Then the application will be run on an embedded PC with a small low-contrast touchscre

Most of the bad habits stem from how C is taught. It should not be the first language freshmen are taught in universities. All the effort will be wasted on teaching basic programming instead of the actual language and good programming habit

Interesting. I'm running the developer edition everywhere and they didn't apparently consider it necessary to re-enable it there :-)

The drag down gesture in Firefox was disabled last year because it interfered with page content. Are you running an old version or did you explicitly re-enable that behavior somehow?

Depends on your legislation. In EU EVGA would be responsible for direct damage, i.e. the disks themselves. Indirect damage, such as loss of data, is not covered.
