A fingerprint sensor isn't possible, appreciated, but what about a U2F activation button? It could even just be a wireless pass-through for USB to allow your yubikey to work for example (I'm certain this can be done on Linux but u

Perhaps your supposedly unique work is more repetitive than you thought: it just has a decision tree that's difficult to model with a regular algorithm, and annoyingly, it turns out you can just brute force that decision tree if you ha

Which region? I've been using it consistently all day in Ireland and London. I just tried some USA endpoints and it seems to work fine also.

1k sounds like a discretionary amount that would quite neatly fit within a manager's budget for external consultants and so on, which is probably what they'll say you are when accounting for it. They're trying to fly under th

I have hidden recovery information in a few places on the internet - someone stumbling across it would not know what they are looking at, or what it's for. For example, you can hide the TOTP secret for an authenticator app, but it&#x27

Email is not a good second authentication factor anyway. I have 6 u2f tokens on my high priority digital accounts, as well as printed recovery codes in several places. Only 1-2 tokens ever actually travel with me, the others are kept safely

You can use the powershell command Add-MPPreference -ExclusionPath[0] and ship a script with your app if you want. I do the same for Terraform providers - whenever a new version comes out, for a time the process can be randomly killed as I

I would hope that high value target sites such as banks would implement CSPs to prevent that or make it more difficult though.

I'd make it a pluggable middleware with a document on how to implement your own and provide a reference configuration that uses something like Vouch [0] which will redirect the user to another identity provider. You could also provide

One of the techniques for a voice assistant to distinguish its own voice from background sound is called a Fourier transform, although I expect that the state of the art in this area also includes some other techniques and research. If you&

Companies can quite happily hold two opposing viewpoints when it suits them. Apple's products usually have some kind of pleasing consistency but that doesn't mean their corporate dealings have to be. In a similar vein, a startup w

This is relevant to a discussion I am having at work right now. I am not a fan of using a templating language as such to generate string templates, especially for a whitespace sensitive language. I would rather use Terraform's Kubernet

I love the idea, unfortunately having read a few of these contracts (albeit not for a space so large), they do specify what the premises are to be used for and what they should not - I read one which specifically mentioned that paintballing

I now haven't used Mercurial in about 8-10 years or so. However, I recall enjoying the workflow a bit more, and I did like how commits were explicitly linked to branches as opposed to branches being effectively pointers to commits - it

The two came out at roughly the same time and for the first few years it wasn't really obvious which was better. Personally, I chose Mercurial to start with, because I liked the Windows tooling available and it felt a lot more like Sub

I hadn't heard of this website. Is there a page that describes what it does? When I navigate to poe.com, it just wants me to enter my email address and make an account, and I'd like to learn about what it can do first.

I too am not a lawyer. The current patent owners are Samsung and a Czech university [0], so I agree with this comment. It is always possible that rent seekers will appear but remember, a good parasite never kills its host, and at present yo

How you solve this problem depends on why you want to solve it in the first place. Is this a business partner, a colleague or a friend? What makes you certain that the technical decisions are bad? Any examples? There might also be economic,

If this discovery is confirmed then someone will figure out how to do this safely, using robots or other kinds of machines to produce superconductor wires. The benefit derived would be simply too great to ignore it. Perhaps superconductors

I used to find it very had to get into coding after a few hours of meetings and I find a 20-30 minute nap to reset works really well to fix that. Of course, it helps that I work from home and my schedule is reasonably flexible, I don't

Lemmy has already massively improved since I first encountered it a few years ago. There are so many more users and so much more activity. I expect the usability issues will be worked on and resolved in time. Without a corporation behind it

Some options spring to mind: 1. All rights reserved - the source is visible but not open. 2. AGPL, to ensure that if someone does take this forward, no part of it can be closed source without your agreement. 3. MIT, which is extremely permi
