xmpp is still alive and is still an open standard

that’s not the point, passkeys are not vendor centric, they are a standard. you don’t want to duplicate a passkey for the same reason you don’t want to copy an SSH private key on multiple devices. it’s a security feature that allows disabling the account access in case the device becomes compromised (lost, stolen, infected, etc.)

a very long password that (ideally) is only bound to a single device, requires a second identifier (biometric, PIN, password) and that is phishing resistant.

easy, go at an ATM, get 20$ bills, and then ask people (friends, cashier etc) to change it for smaller or larger bills

don’t say it too loud the nerds on here will be angry at you (you’re already getting down voted for no reason)

do a blind test between ogg 320kbps which Spotify premium uses and FLAC and tell me your score then

my point is, if you’re not working on that audio, there is no audible difference between two

why all this fuss about lossless audio? Spotify premium is literally indistinguishable from lossless audio for 99.9% of the population and songs (because not all songs will be lossless or are even mastered in a way that makes a difference). granted if…

• you have the right hardware
• you have the ear trained to hear compression
• you picked a song that has audible compression artifacts however small they may be
• you are in a quiet room
• you are actively looking for compression artifacts

you may hear a difference. if you think otherwise, then do a lossy vs lossless blind test and be impressed that you actually cannot hear the difference most of the time (especially without actively looking for the artifacts)

release

such a large statement with such little evidence

It wouldn’t say corruption, I think it’s more that the law around the road was designed with a driver in mind, not with a company or even a robot. the consequences have been thought to hurt a person at fault because at the time only a person could drive

this would get a normal person’s car impounded and drivers license revoked. why can a company get away with it?

here we go again with he tariffs. his friends made back some money after the last crash he caused so now he can go back to crashing it

C# is better than java just because it doesn’t have as much brain rotting “DesIgN PaTTeRnS” gurus

To let you skip the article, they are pausing sales to the USA on the base models of the framework 13, presumably because those are their lowest margin models. The two affected SKUs for the moment are the Intel 125H and Ryzen 7640U

That’s actually a good change. “Parody” accounts have spread uncountable amounts of misinformation during the last election. I remember some time ago there was a Justin Trudeau “parody” account that was obviously controlled by a very right wing person because they kept posting fake shit under the name of Trudeau

Their prefetching game is actually crazy

Nvidia users having to shutdown anyway because the computer will hang when trying to put it to sleep:

Looks really good. Let’s hope it’s more reliable than their disastrous id4

But the thing is out of the big companies, basically none of them are in the business of selling the data they have. They are much better off if they don’t allow competitors to grow by keeping all the data to themselves.
