As someone that is just attempting to get a better understanding of this aspect of a tech stack, when you say many apps don’t need Auth0 what is the actual alternative for the whole user authentication story?

I ended up going down the rabbit hole looking into this practice and discovered companies exist advertising the ability to get any US citizens employment/compensation history for a nominal fee. An example of one such company: https:&#

The official Matter SDK has examples targeting the ESP32, along with other low-cost chipsets: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/tree/master/...

Thread and Zigbee are entirely distinct protocols; Matter does not use Zigbee in any way, at any layer of the stack, with the exception of some influence on the high-layer device/data modeling

Thread is an IPv6 bearing mesh network; and if you have a border router that has the appropriate IP routing rules, and your firewall allows it, your Nanoleaf bulbs can most certainly reach out to the internet (granted, they only have the co

Stating that Thread is a rebranding of Zigbee is incorrect. Both are based on 802.15.4 for their physical layer but the two are entirely separate and managed by different standards bodies (Zigbee under the Zigbee Alliance, now CSA - Thread

I have been at a few companies now that seem to have drank the "server-driven UI" punch and were actively architecting their mobile applications to be entirely dependent upon a stable connection to their backend to display anythin

A few years back I got frustrated with the unreliability and cost of my home printer and a friend suggested I pick up an HP LaserJet 4000N - a printer that came out in the late 90’s. After a bit of convincing I found one that was being thro

I’ve read through the GitHub repo and your message here and was surprised to see this is an 802.15.4 IPv6 mesh yet I see no mention or comparison to Thread - for which this project appears to be heavily influenced by or copy of. I also have

Curious how something such as this is actually implemented. Is there a feed that you are subscribing to? Are you consistently polling posts looking for changes? Or is it some third option?

an async runtime inherently requires knowledge of the underlying system which Rust remains agnostic to. Rust can be written to target bare-metal (where no OS exists) to WASM and everything in between. If a runtime was added to the language

I've done 400km in a single day (19hr with stops), all gravel, single track, and forest trails. This ride always ends up being almost more mentally challenging than physically challenging. Even with the differing route conditions, I ca

PAF can be thought of as basically a broadcast message to any and all WiFi devices in the area, regardless of if they are connected to the same access point or IP network. In the case of someone like Amazon, a device when it is first powere

It's a bit of an open secret at this point that Amazon is also using 802.11 PAF (Public Action Frames) to aid in the magic "unbox an amazon device and it immediately is online". Would admittedly be interesting to have this si

I personally have found that one of Discords major shortcomings is the lack of support for threaded message chains. For those times when you may have 2+ parallel conversations in a channel you end up dramatically reducing the ability to eff

If this really worked and made such a drastic improvement why not get one of the plethora of bike power meters available on the market and show the needed effort to maintain a set speed with this wheel and without? Also, if this really work

I think personally this is one of the biggest details that is being entirely overlooked. In past keynotes Apple has mentioned they are actively working with other companies on the new Project Connected Home Over IP working group[1], which a
