Windows has been showing popup USB speed warnings since at least Windows XP.... so 25 years? Let's not use this cope to mislead anyone into thinking this is a unique Mac innovation (it isn't) that trumps this abomination of human

$150 netbooks solved this by labeling the ports "SS" or using blue USB-A inserts, but those are matters inferior PC users have to deal with.

Maybe this is the kick in the ass Debian needs to upgrade the embarrassingly ancient dnsmasq in "stable" because while I can't think of any new features, the latest versions contain many non-CVE bug fixes. But I doubt it, the

A public key is useless without the private key. Which the attacker in this unlikely scenario doesn't have. So you login the first time and they either match, or they don't. If they don't you start over. The end. Ignore the f

Public keys go over untrusted channels. That's why they're public . I'm not confident you understand how crypto works. You do realize the entire threat model here is a house of cards perched atop someone else's softwar
