Is there any magazines like this left? When I was a kid, I used to buy these. I didn't even have a computer, I was just enjoying imagining what I could do if I had one. Didn't understand 10% or the content though.

Yes, of course. People's willingness to trade with a country goes down when the country threatens to invade.

Many people in EU wants to distance themselves wherever possible from US. It's not an all-or-nothing. Of course people will continue to use Nvidia, Netflix and so on, but if there are European options then many people prefer that.

Are you certain about that being "good"?

Good stuff.

I'll take this opportunity and ask a beginners question. Aren't skills just text files describing how to do something?

I am a bit paranoid and don't like the idea of running some software like this to download text files. I have a browser already, so feels like I'm missing something.

So it's end to end encrypted except that third parties can see who you communicated with and when? Sure.

I can bring my own encryption to tiktok as well. Has roughly the same usability and usage.

Couldn't that be solved by whitelisting specific commands?

Sure. But I think that is same scenario as me loosing my phone today, since I use that for two factor auth.

My plan was to continue using bitwarden for passwords as well, but more as a break-glass mechanism that I really use. I want to use passkeys mostly for convinience.

Your email account would hopefully have 2FA enabled, so if you lose your belongings, then how would you log on in your scenario?

Assuming your 2FA tokens are generated by phone, of course. But I think that's by far the most common way.

I was planning to make use of passkeys when logging on to various services, so I ordered three physical devices, supporting passkeys (yubikey). I ordered USB C and USB A variants, with NFC support.

Is this a mistake? I am already using password manager and totp for my accounts, but I am tired of dealing with passwords.

Even when using a password manager (bitwarden in my case), it just get tedious bringing out my phone, starting auth app, locating the correct account, reading 6 digit token and logging on.

Maybe not. I checked OPs blog and he seem to be putting up 2-3 longer posts per day. Since it is LLM content, I have no idea whether it's mainly hallucinations or based on facts. So what did I learn from reading the article? Maybe nothing, maybe it's just made up.

This isn't a bug report.

Do you honestly think that the developers working for apple looks at the "keyboard experience" and thinks "yeah this is good"? Of course, not. They are competent developers.

tuwtuwtuwtuw — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 20:02:07 +0000

I am guessing a high percentage of wordle players prefer a wordle version which uses common words, and New York Times would prefer cater to those, rather than a smaller group of enthusiasts.

Do you work as a consultant then? I've been with the same employer for a long time, so if my team creates a mess, I get to look at it daily.

I bet most mainstream users thinks it good that FBI can access suspects data.
