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?

Don’t remind them, please. 🤪

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.

You were right. There is an in-game controller settings menu that got changed. So, that fixed my problem! Thanks for the help!

 

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?

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

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.

I think there business model was to make money by running a recruiting service. In theory, prospective employers could see how well you really know a topic based on your answers.

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

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)

Technically, I think the ability to sign enterprise apps (ie. Apps that can be side loaded for your company) cost $399/year.

Agreed. It’s an awesome feature, but Apple isn’t likely to do the work to replace crappy enterprise software. Those software companies spend lots of time developing central management consoles (is everyone up to date?), they provide “reports” to show that the company is compliant to a ton of requirements (ie. SOX compliance), and other features that describe exactly what their software protects against. While none of those tools provide benefits to the end user, companies dig that crap.

Tough choice. I’d personally pick the 2020 model 3. It should have the second generation Intel CPU for the infotainment system, plus it should have HW3 for better autopilot behavior.

Plus, the 2018 Model S is now two generations old on the powertrain, so it’s likely that the mechanics only get minimal training on those older systems. And the battery uses older chemistry compared to the model 3.

That being said, you’d get a ton more space with the model s, and it’s likely going to be a good car.
