Sometimes I see someone post about ADB and I get excited before I realize they mean "Android Debug" and not "Apple Desktop Bus" #macintosh #retrocomputing

Can any #ITSecurity folks point me to some useful resources on how #passkey actually works?There are plenty of guides on how to use it, usually with a focus on one particular platform, but I can find very little implications on how it works or the *implications* of using it, other than broad, unqualified promises that it's safer and better.

In particular, I'm weary of creating a situation where my authentication is tied to a particular platform or provider, or only works on major platforms.e.g. Is there a way I can manage passkeys myself without Google/Apple/etc. being involved? Will any of this work in Linux? Will it work on devices that don't have biometrics? Is there proprietary magic in the mix?

Okay, I thought I understood this, but then tried doing the demo on my iPhone and instead of creating a new passkey my iPhone gives me a QR code and asks me to take a picture of my iPhone with another iPhone and I'm back to being confused.

Okay, apparently this was me forgetting I'd disabled Apple's built in password manager, meaning I had zero valid passkey providers on my phone, and it was (confusingly, but usefully) offering to hand-off the challenge to another device. Neat.

Trying to read an online article on my work computer, which is normally impossible because it doesn't have ad blockers and the VPN bypasses pihole.Just discovered that the Print Preview dialog renders most web pages completely intact without any animations...you can just read an entire article there without distractions.

For anyone who doesn't work in corporate America, here is your occasional reminder that yes, it's exactly what you think it is.

@futurebird The demand is there, but the truth is that society has literally forgotten how to build cassette decks like we used to. Those things were marvels of miniature mechanical engineering, and re-bootstrapping the supply lines to re-manufacture old designs would be an incredible undertaking.

@foone Let's keep making this idea worse(better) - the mouse runs a Synergy server internally, and switches USB inputs when you move the cursor to the edge of the appropriate screen.

@art Hell, I replaced Google Photos with Vim ages ago, why's it taking everyone so long to keep up?

@lynn Also, allow me to share the PUPDEPLOY keyboard which was actually used by our team at a previous job.
