That is understandable, and, as I said, your choice. You did mention business use in your original comment though, where I wouldn't say it is, or should be. On a flip side though, I've seen so many older folks loose so much time a

Your comment feels like it came straight from 2014's /g/. This is literally "My time is too valuable to do X" argument. But perhaps you don't care. Fair enough. You do you. You are, however, absolutely in dange

There are the same exact problems on Windows though. Microsoft nowadays basically treats it's install base as beta testers and you regularly hear about breaking updates. There are devices out there with funky drivers, most notably Nvid

I'm not talking about compatibility updates for your network card, but about security updates. That is why you should be updating first and foremost.

I couldn't be so cold as to give Graphene to my grandmother. That said, I am writing this from Graphene myself, having never touched an Apple device in my life.

They arguably never did. Android updates are all-encompassing, unlike Windows. You still depend on manufacturers of your hardware (motherboard, CPU) to provide firmware updates (BIOS, Microcode). How old is your Motherboard's firmware?

They do have extra 2 years of partial "transitional" support, if I'm not mistaken. But yes, even they will not support them forever as it's not financially feasible without help in the form of first-party updates.

Not quite true, many popular services do have it. Especially the big ones. The thing is, I was mentioning DNSSEC as a "full disclosure". Any attack enabled by non-validated DNSSEC on passkey applies to any other form of verificati

I think this sort of argument misses the point of my comment. I really don't want to write serious software with Perl, I want something more powerfull than AWK, but not as cumbersome as a more "structured" language. I literal

Thank you everyone in this thread for suggestions. I personally learn by practice. Writing stuff. I've read good things about the "Modern Perl" but I'll check out Conway if people here are vouching for it. Also, Perl&#x2

Can confirm, recently written scripts require modification pretty much every minor version. Take the limit on the default size of BigInts now. Why? Just... why? I had to look into every script add the override line at the top (or check the

I discovered Perl basically by accident. For scripting/systems administration its simply unmatched. It's been clearly designed for speed and utility which is what I always wanted and I'm a bit disappointed nobody ever mention

I understand. In that case I still think it's a bit of an understatement to call it a password, since especially inexpirienced users are more vulnerable to phishing, and this does protect against it, unlike a long password (even paired

No, it's not "just a long password". Here are the main benefits not mentioned, which a password cannot offer, regardless of how securely it is stored: - Phishing protection - passkey credential will be uniquely bound to a dom

This. This is the only thing that actually solves all warts of authentication nowadays. Companies really should switch to a webauthn-first mindset. The technology has been here for over a decade, it's not new. There is a standrad and a

Mainly familiarity I'd say. Realise that as early as ENIAC we've used accumulator-based ALU architecture, whereas the first Forth chips started coming out in the eighties. It's hard to overcome such momentum, even if the alte
