You’re using teams. Modern teams is built on Skype, which is why it’s shit.

In one sentence, you say, “just use a password manager”, on the next, “not really an improvement if you need extra software”. I’m not sure what argument you’re having, but neither one really addresses what this article is about.

This keeps the passkeys in the password manager (I use dashlane, it rocks, and synchronises the passkeys just like the passwords), but this new protocol allows you to change and export the passkeys to other password managers, preventing vendor lock in and allowing for transfer to another password manager.

Hope this clarifies things! And everyone should use a password manager of some kind; we should expect whatever site we’re using to be hacked, and the only way to be safe is to have a unique password per site.

It was a term coined to describe the step-by-step process modern tech platforms go through:

1. be good, get customers, grow
2. get large enough to corner market, concentrate on profits
3. get large enough to move to politicise their approach, drive out competition through aggressive tactics, and lock in consumers
4. drive more profit through dark patterns and ensure nobody wins but the stakeholders

It’s specifically that, and there wasn’t a word that described that process previously, as it’s only something that’s possible in a modern, “web scale” worldwide platform.

Crepuscular. Related to twilight, dimness, the golden hour.

As true today as when it was first penned.

“just just” - another ohnosecond moment.

Max and cheese has two ingredients. Good, quality cheese melted into fresh macaroni.

I challenge anyone to dislike that, with a good fresh salad (I like a chopped salad with a drizzle of oil and balsamic with a sprinkle of salt). The great thing is - there’s a cheese for everyone (except lactose intolerant, and what a shame for them) so this works on so many levels.

Mathacre was right there… right there. Ah well.

Fermi Estimation. Where you’re dealing with something so big, you’re just interested in the magnitude.

Those wrinkled stockings!

When she passed, the heart and soul that was shown as all the characters gave her a send off - no need for acting that episode.

I’m with you on the black towers. Still rocking an Antec P120 on my wife’s PC - “the monolith” it got nicknamed.

Lb-ft is force - the number of pounds per foot. Pounds is 1/14 of a stone, or a Stone is 14 pounds. 2.2 pounds per kilogramme.

Coding, system monitoring (Work / Home network), Slack / Meet / whatever… generally I’ll have 3 or 4x screens-worth doing work stuff, 1 or 2 for monitoring stuff, one or two for various chat sessions. It’s easier than alt-tabbing all the time.

I have two 4k monitors, and two laptops and a desktop controlled from one mouse and keyboard with seamless traversal across all of them thanks to mouse without borders. Desktop goes to one 4k monitor, split into 4 quarters to give the equivalent of 4 1080p screens, and each laptop is displayed side-by-side on the other monitor (plus their own 1080p screens to give 3x 1080p screens equivalent each… The picture in picture mode on these lg’s is actually usable). It’s an upgrade from the previous 4x 1080p screens to the equivalent of 10x 1080p screens, and I still need more screen space!

Is that me?

Fart Karen’s! Oh boy, that is hilarious!
