Isn't PIX a payment scheme? Open banking is slightly different, as it's more about account access (although with read+write access, you can kind of build it into a payment scheme as well, although it's usually clunky).

WebUSB is indeed great, but this particular tool would not work in it, as it does something different (HID input remapping as opposed to, or maybe in addition to, reprogramming a HID device to behave differently via vendor-specific commands

I don't think you can expect a significant fraction of people to immediately switch based on a (presumably temporary) discount.

Obviously it's going to have to come up with unambiguous shorthand for itself during gradient descent. My point is that that shorthand doesn't necessarily have to be unambiguous to human observers.

Requesting site access by click or by URL really isn't rocket science. Not nearly every user will get it right, so extensions will probably still have to be monitored for malware for the foreseeable future, but it gives many users at l

Significantly reducing the risk is enough for me in many cases. Chasing “zero risk” is often a fallacy.

Not GP, but sometimes I want my browser to do pretty random/niche things without that compromising all of my browsing data.

Why should there not be a middle ground between “can do absolutely everything with all my data” and “is basically a glorified bookmark button” based on the level of trust I have for an extension?

Ah, I love these as they're generally much thinner/lighter/more flexible than USB-C 3 cables but still support at least 60W power delivery! Advertising them as USB 3 is a shame, though.

You can "install" the PWA on iOS by adding it to your home screen, then your ntfy instance can use APNs directly (via Web Push)!

What do you mean by "battery consuming application"? At least the PWA of ntfy can use Web Push, which uses your browser's existing push notification service and should not consume any additional battery.

If you can afford it, I'd honestly throw these out. "Charging only" is not a spec-compliant thing in USB-C, and personally I wouldn't want to re-discover which devices do and don't support them every time I just wan

Great utility. The only wrinkles for me are that Macs apparently don't interrogate cables when they don't have to, i.e., when the power adapter supplies <= 60W (not sure if that's a USB-C protocol or an Apple implementatio

You actually raise a great point for regulating high-risk (and recently heavily gamified) options and futures bets more like gambling for retail investors.
