You don’t stand on a treadmill. Ever. That’s how I know.

What’s withings?

Dunno man, I just hop on the treadmill, do the thing for an hour, and hop off. Every day. I don’t need to count every single second or calorie I spend on it. Why all this paraphernalia around it all is needed is beyond me.

> the treatment people were happy with might as well have been a no-op and whatever problem they have would have gone away by itself in a short time.

Haha what ??? Sure a totally rotten tooth would likely fall off by itself anyway but if that’s your baseline, we’re probably having different enough conversations that it’s not worth continuing to waste our time here.

A cavity requires intervention before your body tells you it does - by the time it does, you’ll be in excruciating pain and basically lose half a tooth to the drill. If you fix it before then, it’s much easier.

How will you know if you have an ongoing problem otherwise? When was the last time you accurately spotted a cavity needing treatment?

What was so horrific about it? Share some deets!

(Just avoiding going to the dentist is pretty extreme tho - probably reasonable to get them looked at at least yearly?)

Right. It didn’t suggest it but the phishing message was convincing enough that the tech-savvy person fished the password out manually and input it anyway. A mistake for sure, and one the password manager was trying to help with, for sure, but this mistake would have been impossible with a passkey.

I’ve seen tech-savvy people getting phished into entering their password on a fraudulent site, despite the password manager blaring alarms that the login looked fishy.

This cannot happen with passkeys at all because crypto magic.

So tune your firewall? Sounds like you’re asking OP to fast forward time so his understandably brand new domain passes your weird age hurdle?
