I suspect they just want more people to buy the more expensive pro devices, and there is no pro mini. You'd almost need entirely separate marketing for the mini to try to separate it from the rest as "interesting" and I suspe

Interestingly, the iPhone 4 is physically not much smaller than the iPhone 12 mini, but has a significant screen size bump. I was curious about this because my old Droid Eris had a 3.2" screen and I was curious how it physically measur

I have an iPhone 12 mini. I switched to iPhone with the XR and felt it was too big. My old Pixel 2 feels larger than the 12 mini with it's 5" screen versus the 12 mini's 5.4", and that's because it physically is ove

There is actually an argument to be made for trying to deliver high quality content at the lowest acceptable bitrates. First, most people won't know the difference (ie: my parents), and second it seems like high speed internet is still

I think there should be a distinction between data hoarding and piracy. One can consume pirated content without keeping it around, effectively looking a bit like just paying for a streaming service, since that's effectively what you ge

I was the same way. Interviews were very intimidating. Imposter syndrome didn't help. It took time for me to figure out the power dynamic in this process, and to learn that, as a candidate, I have more power than I previously assumed.

As a technical interviewer and team lead, I liked to spend the first half of the interview on technical questions and answers, and maybe some discussion on that, then the second half just having a conversation. I've rejected candidates

The first thing you need to understand is the interview process goes both ways. They're not just trying to figure out if you have the skills to do the job and figure out if you're a good fit for the team, you should also be figuri

The article specifically discusses auth via app, but if it's involving the FIDO alliance, it'd be weird to exclude hardware keys, I guess. I still don't like the idea of going single factor, but if it's with a hardware k

What this article is about is authenticating the request with an app on your phone, not a hardware key. This ends up being a device totally disconnected from the device requesting the auth, and neither have to be in the same geographic loca

You're looking at an exploit from a technological point of view, which I expect this community is likely to do. Think of it from the perspective of the average user. I know for a fact if my mom was told by an attacker "if you see

But this seems like a technological solution to a very human problem. If I can trick a user into approving the login, then hardware fobs, secure elements, etc, are meaningless. The audience here is likely to assume that the security is soli

In a multi-factor scheme, I would agree with you. I use FIDO/U2F myself...as a secondary factor. There are active attacks that attempt to exploit human lack of vigilance in an authentication approval flow. With a password as a first fa

The weakest link in security is always going to be humans. Account compromise is is more often a human problem than a technological one (spamming requests, password reuse, simple passwords, (spear) phishing, direct social engineering, etc).

I've noticed there's been a lot of shoe startups in recent years. This is of interest to me because several years ago I broke my foot (Jones Fracture) thanks to poor advice from a shoe salesman for an expensive stability shoe of a

I had a lot of trouble with the quality of Hanes socks in recent years, and Fruit Of The Loom seemed not much better. Switched to Dickies and haven't looked back. Still far cheaper than Bombas.
