My Dad is in the same boat. What about a Titan/yubikey? They are fairly easy to use - although you might have to help your parents with enrollement.

If my math is correct, driving 1,725km in a Prius (assume 6L/100KM - which is fairly conservative) would cost about $135 CDN in fuel - (approx. $1.30 per litre). Not much more than $120 spent on charging. For a car that is much less ex

This doesn't really seem immune from spam. I got signed up for goodreads (book review site), and I get tons of spam. It's not quite the same as your idea, but it is a currated list. I don't know how you stop spammers from add

I have a printer story for you young whipper-snappers. Back in the day I worked for Sun. They had a laser printer called the SPARCPrinter that did all the rasterization on the workstation - which made the printer very inexpensive, but it bo

The explanation is largely the same as in the US: It's very expensive to run cable / fibre to the house. It's a natural monopoly. Having a US incumbent enter the Canadian market isn't going to change that.

According to [1], there are more than 90,000 Flutter apps on the play store, growing at over 10,000 per month. Now to be fair many of these are low quality throw away apps, but there some significant apps including Hamilton, and Google Stad

It's not quite as bad as it seems. We have had a vanishingly small number of breakages as we upgraded from early verions of Kubernetes. Mostly just tweaking a few resources where the API got promoted from beta to stable.

The temporary removal of that app (its back now) had nothing to do with retaliation. I have a hard time believing that Google leadership would be that stupid. See https://www.androidauthority.com/blue-mail-play-store-114347.
