> Like, if they hadn't paid for some of the wrap/unwrap features on one of their HSM

Also depending on the FIPS configuration of their HSM, some functionality like wrap/unwrap might not be available

I mean Anthropic can't even build an app that remembers my 'Run on startup' configuration, so I don't really see frontiers models being good at building whole new products

Here in France firefighters are first responders and fires are usually a small part of their workload. Last spring I was with a school group that visited a barrack of the Paris firefighter and one of the firefighter who was showing us around told us that firefighting is less than 5% of their responses. And we were shown their garage, where their two fire trucks were (one with a ladder, the other without), but their two other vehicles (two ambulances) were away.

At least Anthem tried something different with the flying robot suits, whereas hero shooters aren't exactly new

> Mass Effect 3 was a bit controversial on release due to the bad ending (but I think it's agreed the rest of the game was solid?)

Mass Effect 3 had plenty of problems elsewhere, like the whole Cerberus, subplot, the idiotic fights with Kai Leng, the whole Crucible concept, how important parts got shoved on in DLCs...

And while DA:I seemed to have been well-received, I don't think it's a very good game

oops, I meant to say without that DLC

The only major part of story of ME2 that got paywalled is the Lair of the Shadow Broker and I don't feel like I missed much by not playing it (at least on my first playthrough, second I had the DLC). And even if you take a ME2 save with that DLC to ME3, I felt like ME3 does a decent job of explaining what had happened.

> It took two decades for that to happen

I think 2 decades is a bit generous considering the state of Bioware recently. When was their latest game that was well-received? Dragon Age Inquisition?

I mean Germany even sent soldiers to get trained in the URSS in tank usage, while Germany was still pretending to follow the Versailles treaty. And the trade in commodities between the two continued right up until June 1941

As a French, I've been eating speculoos like a few times per year, usually with coffee at some friends' who like them. And I never realized it was written with 2 o and I was thinking it was from Spain. Now I've learned something

New comment by baud147258 in "Passkeys are not a trap"

baud147258 — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 14:58:17 +0000

I've been working on passkey-adjacent systems recently (including systems integrating the physical passkeys developed by a team in the same open-space) and I don't feel like the passkey industry has answers to that, in terms of ease of use/usability. Right now I'd say between an OTP on a phone and physical passkey is that it might just be quicker to plug in the passkey and push the button (if applicable) than fishing my phone out of my jacket, unlocking it, launching the app and typing the code...

Most wonderful fact is that 55% of people dream of visiting Paris. Of course living just next to Paris puts a damper to any desire to visit
