The passkey terminology is describing a "primary factor" user experience, which requires certain WebAuthn features to be implemented. A U2F-only key does not have storage so it cannot implement discoverability on its own. So it wo

A webauthn library will likely support things which you don't need for simply accepting passkeys, such as attestations and extension support. A minimal implementation can be dramatically simpler; the problem comes in conveying to an ap

Android and iOS 17 have native API to supply passkeys via system API, which will surface in browsers as well as native apps. A pure web extension password/passkey manager currently has to go the injection route, and will not surface cr

Not that everyone hates it. Competing models of usability/openness. Security keyfob vendors have had attestations for years because they were selling primarily to corporate markets who have closed user bases and stringent authenticatio

You have a (constantly expanding) choice in what software or hardware your passkeys are provided by, and can decide based on your own risk/convenience trade-offs.

The devil's in the implementation details though. The operating system may provide both fully-preemptive threads on which to schedule user space cooperative threads (scheduling on system call). At that point green threads (e.g. threadi

I always wonder about whether such comparisons take into account the 50% increase in global population between 1990 and 2019. This BMJ charts do not appear to do so.

This implies that my use or not affects other people and not solely myself. Awaiting numbers as to how much plastics in the water which comes out of my tap is from washed microwaved plastics.

If the scale winds up being that eliminating my microwave usage and throwing out plastic containers from my house entirely reduces my plastic consumption 1 %, then I wasted a whole bunch of time and money, and distracted myself from trying

My guess is that it is a difference in volume. While a microwave is very efficient at exciting water in food, the range top is putting out a _lot_ of heat based on a 220V (in US) electric source or natural gas source.

There are some sold for privacy which do not have the data pins. However, I believe this prevents negotiation for power delivery. Even if not, you need the CEC pins for the cable to function and that is a data channel as well (there are fir

Yep. My replaced lightning and USB-C cables were all with the iPad, because in landscape I’ll have the connector at a tight bend. Now I just use a usb-c cable with a 90 degree bend built in.

USB-C to C cables to spec need the data pins for USB 2 and to support 30W. Beyond that it is cable-specific. Unless an included cable came with a hard disk, monitor or eGPU, you can be reasonably sure it is USB 2 speeds. If it didn’t ship w

I haven't checked code - but since my wiring had the dishwasher and garbage disposal shared on a single 20A, I would expect that each now have a requirement to not consume more than 1200W. At 1200W and a 2.5 gallon wash cycle, I'd

American dishwashers hook up to the hot water line, vs the cold water line in some other countries. They do have their own heaters, but household models are limited to 1200-1800 watts. The pre-wash/pre-rinse cycle may only give enough
