    Can you elaborate a bit more? If I create a passkey on https://passkeys.io on my Mac, then store the passkey in a password manager like Bitwarden, I can log into that site on my phone. I was kinda under the impression that Bitwarden stored the private key on their servers, so if their site gets hacked, then the attacker has access to my passkey.io account?

    Thanks for posting this. I keep hoping that on one of these releases that we’ll get a separate ssid for iot devices.

    It feels a bit different to me. Tesla hugely invested in their own charging network, while everyone else let EA do it for them. Tesla could have kept their network private to sell more vehicles. As for the exclusive Rivian chargers…I’ve never seen one, but the nearest one to me is about 300 miles away.

    This Chipotle blog entry describes things the best as far as I know: https://chipolo.net/en/blogs/chipolo-point-delay-and-google-find-my-device-app-update

    Basically, in December, Google and Apple (and others?) came up with a standard on discovering trackers that are being used to stalk people. Because of the large iOS install base, Google has elected to wait for Apple to roll out that feature on iPhones before enabling the tracking device support on Android.

  • I’m new to the Steam Deck and I haven’t really been in the PC gaming scene since Quake 3/Unreal Tournament more than 2 decades ago. So, I have a lot to learn. (I have a small child and we’ve been exploring the world of games on the Switch) Said small child is really into hot wheels, so we picked up Hot Wheels Unleashed on the last steam sale. We’ve played it successfully for the last couple of weeks, but all of the sudden (today) the game stopped working right. When driving a car, the joystick won’t let the car turn left. It works going to the right, and it works going left on the in-game menus. (And it works on other games, so it’s not a hardware issue) Since I’m so new to the steam deck, I really haven’t learned how to debug it yet. I tried changing the Proton version with any success, and I’ve tried some different keyboard layouts without success. I’ve tried the reboot solution and verified that I’m on the latest version of steamOS and the game. Is there a standard set of steps to debug these type of problems?

    US antitrust case against Apple's App Store is 'firing on all cylinders'

    There are so many scam apps in the AppStore today. So many apps have slot machine style mechanics that get people addicted and convince them to pay for more turns. In addition, a bunch of kid-friendly apps have really short subscription periods (a day?) At a high price (say $3.99).

    It’s not to say that App Review has no value, but when it comes to scams that separate people from their money, Apple has 30% of a reason to look the other way

    I'm not really surprised to see that he signed with LA...he seemed to like the area and he wanted to win...but I was a bit surprised to see that he signed for $700 million over 10 years...that's...a large number. Let's get a few more pitchers and start planning for a parade!

    T-Mobile Achieves New Milestone With mmWave 5G

    That’s exciting news. One of the downsides of T-Mobiles mmWave deployments has been it needed an (often saturated) mid-band signal to work. So, this )once rolled out) removes that limitation.

    Next, we’ll need them to actually roll out mmWave antennas so that we can all take advantage of that extra capacity!

    Thanks for the hat tip. I was surprised it actually happened. That being said, the AD probably described the culture as a positive just to be nice. Brady retiring saved him a giant headache.

    Getting a CD on the N64 would have allowed for some cooler videos in the middle of the game (and would probably have made things cheaper for developers), but, in my opinion, the thing that really killed the N64 is the tiny (4k) texture cache combined with high latency RAM on the system.

    That’s why N64 games have a “look” that can be easily identified.

    Brady Hoke at San Diego State would like you to throw his name into the hot seat section. After going 12-2 in 2021 (w/ a good defense and the punt god), they are 10-11 over the past 2 seasons, and regressing quickly. Their most recent game ended with a 0-6 loss to Nevada, which hadn’t won since Sept 2022 and was second to last in points allowed. There is a brand new stadium that they are struggling to fill. His buyout of ~$5 million is probably too much for them to afford, but that seat is certainly hot.

    I'm curious who you'd want to better represent people from West Virginia? Trump won the presidential vote ~69% to ~30% in 2020 (and by a similar margin in 2016). If Manchin retires, he's going to be replaced by a MAGA republican. Even though he is far to the right of the typical Democrat, he's really the best the Democratic party can hope for from that state

    Part of me thinks that the point. He’s never coaching in college again with these accusations. So, my guess is that he is trying to make this as ugly and costly as possible in order to get Michigan State to pay a large percentage of his remaining contract in order to shut him up.

    I mostly have the same experience. I did a Xamarin.Mac app to port some windows code to the Mac. In some senses, it was amazing, because most of the business logic just worked and that saved a bunch of time. The UI was app kit, but with c# to obj-c bindings. That also mostly worked, however, when something broke, it really broke and was incredibly difficult to debug.

    There are some use cases I’d recommend Xamarin for still, but the majority of cases are probably best solved by writing native code directly. (Or at least using a portable language such as C, C++ or Rust for cross platform business logic)

    There is a bit of trickiness to the NACS announcements. They are using the NACS physical connector with CCS signaling. So if EA or EvGo or ever release a NACS connector, you’ll need that CCS module to get electricity

    I’m excited that it has 4 Ethernet ports that are faster than 1gbps. However, I’m less excited about the price. You’d really need to have some use cases that requires WiFi 7 to justify paying $599 for an access point!
