In the Apple ecosystem, passkeys are stored in your iCloud, and access to the passkeys is device bound. So if I generate a passkey on a MacBook, I can then use it from my iPhone as well, because it's encrypted to all my hardware device

It takes very little money to rent massive botnet capacity to perform crippling DDOS attacks. Unfortunately there are only very few CDNs capable of absorbing that kind of attack.

No, lack of maintainers and maintenance on Xorg would have made Linux desktop unviable altogether. High DPI and fractional scaling are very badly supported on Xorg, and architecturally impossible to build. Wayland is where development happe

I'm not saying that Kubernetes isn't complex, I'm saying it's a fallacy to claim that the Hashicorp stack in any way manages to be less complex in practice. All of these moving parts are unavoidable if you want to run so

Docker is not for production. Nomad at scale in practice needs a lot of load-bearing Bash scripts around it: for managing certs, for external DNS, you need Consul for service discovery, Vault for secrets. At that point, is Nomad still simpl

In the Netherlands we have 'focus cameras' now that specifically detect smartphone use while driving, with hefty fines of €430. These cameras are mobile as well, so they get placed on different spots over time.

It's not like the browsers can just switch to some better maintained XSLT library. There aren't any. There are about 1.5 closed-source XSLT 3 implementations, Altova and Saxonica. I don't want to sound ageist, but the latter

macOS does ask you if you want to allow a program to access your files in $HOME. Not sure if it's a perfect solution, but still, it's something. As a more additive approach than just giving up and running everything as root, I thi

This distinction is a technicality, given the The Hague Invasion Act signed into law by G.W. Bush. Or to use your example, would a hypothetical attack on the UN building in New York not also be a violation of American sovereignty?

Many important plugins are only in the official marketplace, and it's not allowed to use this marketplace from open source builds. The practical effect is that open builds like VSCodium don't have access to things like the C# plug
