so these devices... Where are they made?

lunacy get your supply chains in order

I wonder if Bill Gates giving away his money has the same satisfaction as Linus Torvalds knowing he made the world a better place

History will show which one actually gets remembered as a good person and my bet is on Linus

Lesson I learnt... chasing money ends poorly.

why cant we have a consistent base API rather than compatibility layers.... then custom depending on what the dev's want to show off now we just have DirectX and a complete monopoly that steam have to work hard to provide a layer for....

Vulkan exists and works on the majority of phones...

what are steamOS recommendations for game dav's ?
(do they have a equipment/dev pipeline recommendations like netflix do ?)

This is how I've come to understand it. I welcome any and all corrections.

Passkeys are a cryptographic key stored in a Secure Element. This is usually a private key inside a small cryptographic engine. You feed it some plaintext along with the key ID, and it encrypts it using that key. The outer software then decrypts the ciphertext using the public key. If the decrypted text matches the original plaintext, then that proves you're holding a valid private key, and authentication proceeds.

The private key can be written to and erased from the Secure Element, but never read back out. All it can do is perform operations using the secret key to prove that it is indeed holding the correct secret key.

On phones, the Secure Element is in the hardware of your handset. On PCs, this is most often the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip. In both cases, the platform will ask for your PC's/phone's password/fingerprint/whatever before forwarding the request to the Secure Element.

Yubikeys can also serve as a Secure Element for Passkeys; the private key is stored in the Yubikey itself. Further, the Yubikey's stored credentials may be further protected with a PIN, so even if someone steals your Yubikey, they'll still need to know the PIN before it will accept and perform authentication checks. You get eight tries with the PIN; after that, it bricks itself.

The latest series 5 Yubikeys can store up to 100 Passkeys, and Passkeys may be individually deleted when no longer needed. Older series 5 Yubikeys can store only 25 Passkeys, and can only be deleted by erasing all of them.

Theoretically, you can have multiple Passkeys for a given account (one for everyday access; others as emergency backups). Not all sites support creating these, however.

ok how about you stop optimizing your tax

keep your monopoly but you pay Tax and no more charging Apple AU variable rates to use your "brand" to avoid tax's etc

and you actually host rather than cache things in australia rather than sending all the locations and imessages of politicians and ADF to the USA

much love

Australia
 

Congratulations, you feckless imbeciles. You've "innovated" general software package management a mere three $(GOD)-damned decades after Redhat and Debian did it.

While you're at it, why don't you "invent" a tiling window manager that can be driven entirely from the keyboard... Oh, wait...

Honestly... Why is anyone still voluntarily giving money to these chowderheads?

there is no details

just an announcement that they will be claiming against the insurance and that they could claim £100mn (pounds not dollars) means they did not have much insurance...

frankly americans routinely leak customer names, dates of birth, home and email addresses and phone numbers

whats actually worrying is household information, and online order histories

thats going to be hard to clean up and expose a LOT of people

JJ

all services

must be 2FA or passkeys

or suffer

users can not be blamed...

why would a government approve this apart from bribes ?

this was in my onion a bad choice they have plenty of talent and technically literate why would you choose russian or american solutions...

I learned a thing today (on Slashdot, no less!). Thank you very kindly.

Perhaps I'm ignorant of the underlying biology involved, but is anyone besides me having difficulty seeing how "antibodies" can be effective against hemotoxins or neurotoxins?

Sixty billion dollars?

Is there any breakdown of this figure? Even if you paid up front for 100,000 headsets, you might only get to $0.1 billion. Where did all the money go? How many prototypes did they make? Were the optics made out of DeBeers diamonds? Did they use AWS or something?

true but case insensitivity is not accurate and not tested correctly - thats the point

basically its all broken and we should run away or fix it
