That's the optimal solution, IMHO. You don't want to enter an address in the navigation system with buttons or a scroll wheel, that's just horrible. So you still need that touchscreen, but hopefully not while driving, or only

You're listing only the negative aspects, but in truth it's all tradeoffs. What you get is fishing-resistant authentication, that's pretty easy to use. > And adding more devices is not the answer either. Why not? What&#x27

Just the other day I idly wondered how LED "light bulbs" regulate down their 230V (here in central Europe, at least) to the ~2V needed per LED. Although it's from a different starting point (AC, not DC), after reading the art

There have been several attempts at developing intranasal COVID-19 vaccines, all of them have had disappointing results so far (mostly that the immunity waned pretty quickly, if I remember correctly). It would be far more convincing if the

That helps if you meet them in person, but if you communicate through radio waves, they'll have no way to know how to decode signal into an image with the intended left/right and up/down orientation

How would you describe it? One approach would be: you're moving along a straight line, perpendicular to a large body that attracts you through gravity. Now "down" is towards the gravity, "up" is the opposite directi

I don't find the idea absurd, especially for the entertainment system: * it makes it easy to separately update different apps that are shown on the same screen * it unifies the update process * you can download the update in background

Why do you find UK intelligence fishy? The briefings regarding the state of the war/front lines regarding the war have been pretty well corroborated by other sources.

I'm not aware of a single type of orbital rocket reaching orbit successfully on first attempt. Not all of them blew up, but many did.

There are fingerprint-unlocked hardware keys. Not perfect, but also not trivial to get around in the time it takes to report the key as stolen.

Most of these inventions don't live up to their initial hype, but some do find a niche (for example cell chemistry optimized for large temperature ranges, optimized for certain safety features, longevity over charge density etc.), and

There are scenarios, but they are pretty out there. For example, a service might import hashed passwords from a directory, and an attacker has limited influence on the network connection to cause some random-ish data corruption. > Like,
