I had previously successfully used my Solokey (a Yubikey-like product) on my Samsung S21 mobile phone. I was able to use it to log into Google, Fastmail, Facebook, et al. At some point in the recent past I lost my ability to use my Solokey.

Can you expand? I thought updates required a restart no matter what platform or distro.

That has been my experience as well. I've not come across a laptop that accepts a charge from a low power USB-C PD charger. I'm aware the standards allow for falling back to lower voltages but it seems laptop manufacturers specifi

I've managed to tick all your boxes on not one but two Lenovo ThinkPads. Ironically I've had trouble with suspend on my previous work Mac laptop running macOS. Also issues with WiFi on the same Mac laptop not present on other devi

I'm not a software engineer or anything like that and I still have three screens including a laptop screen at my desk. Almost everyone at the small NPO I work for have at least 2 monitors including the likes of finance, customer servic

Gasp, Google ignoring established standards. /s Google has a strange relationship with spam. When I operated my own mail server I discovered much more than 50% of spam was from their network. So stuff like this comes at no surprise to

I did look into that for my family domain but the storage space for the basic plan was so low I ended up sticking with regular accounts. Only two accounts though so bearable. If I was in OP's situation with six family members I probabl

I back up to both rsync and Hetzner. Both have reasonable costs and rsync has given me good long term discounts too without even asking.

In 2017 I was on a late running DB train and was given a form to complete to get a refund. Problem was I live in New Zealand and have my bank account here. I fill out the form using my NZ account details anyway and posted the form from New

I've had both Apple and Lenovo laptops over the years and both seem to perform similarly on my mixed 2.4GHz and 5GHz network. Lenovo have always been Intel WiFi chips whereas Apple seems to go for other brands such as Broadcom. I find

Incorrect, they can have an assigned phone number and can do anything a normal SIM can do. There are SIMs (either physical or eSIM) that do not have a phone number and/or has restrictions on what it can do. It's not the form itsel

Which models? My personal S series has no such thing but I was surprised that my work A series came with ads and stuff. Seems to be a similar strategy to Microsoft pushing crap on the Home versions of Windows but not doing so on the corpora

Australia has the worst rural service I've come across in my travels so I wouldn't hold them up as a good example. There are medium sized rural towns with service only from one or maybe two telcos and even then the capacity is oft

Can you give an example of how this could be used?

Netflix tests usually go to the Netflix cache at your ISP's nearest POP. Usually I find the Netflix speeds at close to max speed for my connection as I'm in the same city as my ISP's Netflix cache. However other test sites sh

I think it's good that there's a standard for zone files. I've migrated from one dns server to another and being able to just carry over the same zone files has been useful. I also for some time had a master using one dns sof

That's why I'm surprised they only include one USB-C port. If you use that for power input can't use it for anything else. I expect machines released in 2023 to have at least two especially if it supports USB-C power input.

Ads appears even on fresh installs, so not sure how that helps?

The very first thing I do anytime I set up a new email client is switch off threaded view so I can see the individual messages. I find it more hassle than it's worth. I prefer to keep specific messages in my inbox related to what I nee

Agreed. I find Macos on a fresh installation and new hardware will work fine, but over time it seems to fall apart somehow. The last Mac I used (when I worked for $FORMER_EMPLOYER) would sleep fine but whenever I woke it up several hours la

I'd imagine most people making donations are using their personal accounts which are unlikely to be paid subscriptions.

I use it for small recurring payments to some online services. Some online services only accept Paypal so I just pay via Paypal using my stored Amex/Visa details and Paypal process the payment and passes it on to the service operator.

I have tried the Apple ones a few times and every time I go back to a laptop that has physical buttons it just feels so much better. I also find I get much less cramping in my fingers too.

I find it interesting how in some countries IPv6 on mobile is more common than wired. Here in New Zealand not one of our mobile carriers offer IPv6. All have no plans to do so stating that there is no demand for it. This also extends to wir
