I think this isn’t justified. There’s people who are control freaks, but it’s not necessarily OPs case. In a product I delivered (I do hardware design), I helped the “firmware team” (one guy at that point) to get started because I was more

So you are arguing this is better because you don’t have to throw it all together but then arguing throwing everything is not that bad? At least USB has and will be supported for years. The next revision will likely be incompatible with t

I wonder what kind of success this might have, because this is clearly something they built either internally or for a client and turned it into a off the shelf product. I have built stuff who could even compete with that.

Special character requirements normally end with most people adding # to the end of their dictionary vulnerable password, plus a lot more of valid password reset requests that could hide phishing attacks.

I think this piece is overly optimistic and maybe even ignorant about how semiconductor supply chains work. Semiconductor fabs take years to start production.

Maybe, but part of the issue is the massive shift of component stocks from suppliers to manufacturers. JIT allowed a lot of different manufacturers to “share” stocks, by keeping inventory in a supplier instead of in house. In the end we tra

In terms of user experience IMO, what you’d want is something similar to how Apples “share wifi password” work but with extra features. You want to log in to x, there’s a place to put the owners email or phone number, they get (if you are p

And then Apple changes some mechanical aspect of the haptics actuators and suddenly you are getting false results without knowing it. I’d rather get a custom device if my life depends on it.

I think they just rolled the dice on that one. Spacex will probably IPO soon and needs Starlink to look like it could actually make money at some indefinite time in the future.
