Most simple comparisons are flawed. Even just comparing the transistor counts of CPUs with vastly different architectures would be quite flawed.

That seems like a separate problem, since no authentication mechanism can somehow force a competence floor onto your local government office. Even if passkeys become the industry standard (or even required by law) your local government offi

There are certain tools for which we heavily restrict which users have access to the entire supply chain. That's still about users, I suppose, but it's also about tools.

The problem I have with cheap inkjets for occasional use is that they tend to stop working after just 1-3 years. A lot of people say it's because the ink dries up and clogs up the works if you don't print regularly. I'm not s

Sounds like it could have just been a quirk. I've had a couple of iPhone earthquake alerts around 0-2 seconds before feeling it, so it's definitely not a general problem with iPhones. I've also had many more of the AMBER aler
