We are using ruftfs for our simple usecases as a replacement for minio. Very slim footprint and very fast.

Sure, it's doable, and I'm on Linux desktop as well and not missing anything. She never had a computer other than her iPad. So it's hard (for me) but for her it's the best solution right now.

I'm using Debian an when working for a client that requires Windows, I'm working in a VirtualBox with Windows Server 2022 as my desktop OS. It works really well (running mainly Visual Studio) and licenses are pretty cheap. But the best part is, that there are no ads and other Windows 11 Copilot nonsense.

Picked up a Framework 13 for my daughter for Xmas. She’s a politics student, so she needs a solid keyboard. I hate installing Windows on this hardware, but she absolutely relies on Office and Citavi. Plus, proficiency in Windows is a standard requirement in her field. Maybe she'll discover Linux eventually!

Looks like https://monkeytype.com/ is driven by monkeytype ;)

As far as I understood, it's not using triangulation. It's using machine learning to classify wifi fingerprints.

No, you don't need beacons here. It works using "fingerprints" (and machine learning) of nearby APs.

They claim a typical accuracy of 10 square feet (< 1 square meter) which would be really really good. Even systems with beacons are not better.

There is an native U2F implementation for Android by yubico: https://github.com/Yubico/android-u2f-demo. Also take a look at this webinar https://www.yubico.com/2015/10/u2f-webinar-from-concept-to-i.... The client data part is what you have to send to the authenticator.

AFAIK yes. The spec defines the high-level API you use withing the browser.

I just tested exactly this with this sample app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webviewbro.... But it isn't working. I think the FIDO API is not implemented in the WebView right now.

Why do you think PayPal is involved when you do a U2F login?

I was suprised that when signing in to my Goole account on my Android device with Chrome Beta, the Google Authenticator App pops up to do U2F with my YubiKey NEO via NFC. That was really seamless!

Does anybody know, if it would be possible to use this within a WebView in a native app?

My experience with other (commercial) NPR is, that it's better to narrow down your expected search results to those countries you are looking for. The whole EU would be too wide...

Yes, that are common plates. But there are also special ones. Look at the personalized plates in austria.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of...

Most cameras offer a HTTP interface to acquire images. You can feed those to the LPR. Some LPR stacks offer recognition of license plates directly from video streams (MJPG, H.264).

Sad that they showed a node example. What about asp.net on .net core?
