If The Next Big Thing can be sidelined by simply blocking its login option, that’s a problem. Not only is it not secure, it’s not even reliably usable.

Wait, haven’t some sources been touting how ultra-secure and unbreakable passkeys are? And now we find that they’re susceptible to comparatively simple MITM attacks?
That isn’t even remotely what it says.
Short of buying the IP catalog, Microsoft seems to be doing right here.
I’m not suggesting that you should. But if the government that controls a TLD is not trusted, then no site under that TLD should be trusted either.
Avoiding “crypto” obfuscates the truth and avoids the scammy reputation that crypto now has. Calling it “open source” also lets it slide into more communities.
It’s just marketing for a YouTube channel.
Bless you. I do have them blocked. I don’t need the aggravation in my life.
If you trust the government that controls a TLD, then use the site. If not, proceed with caution.
Good to know. Thanks!
It would also be nice if there were a way to use them anonymously. ChatGPT seems to allow this, but I’m not entirely comfortable with OpenAI.
One suspects, for numerous reasons, that your employer will never allow any user, especially a North American, to stop data collection by the central servers.
However, you might refer the customer to your colleagues in the EU. They will have stronger data protections that could be used to force the issue. The Europeans might be able to share how it works with your North American customer.
So has this been addressed in OS updates?
Mint on a couple of old laptops. Debian command line on a hobby server. Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi.
Didn’t love Arch (too complicated for my skills at the time). Fedora was okay and would do in a pinch. I remember liking OpenSUSE, but went back to Mint for some reason that I don’t remember (probably driver- or repo-related).
I’ll likely never try it myself, but I’ve known new users who did ok with Zorin.
Now what’s Putin going to do? Put his shirt back on?
Tomshardware is a blog, not journalism. It seems to be a generally credible blog (passes the CRAAP test), but it’s still just a blog.
That said, sadly, I have to agree about the general state of almost all US-based “journalism” these days. About 90% of headlines today would have gotten the editor fired on the spot in my newsroom. That was a point of strong disagreement between me and the station manager, and It’s one of the major reasons that I left the field.
That is one possible interpretation of the language. Without knowing something about the author, the blog itself could be a disinformation campaign.
Assuming it’s genuine, we agree that they have the right to say whatever they want so long as it doesn’t present a clear and present danger. And readers have the right to decide they’re wrong or uninformed.
Exactly. Non-count nouns can’t take indefinite articles (because indefinite articles are a version of the number “one”).
Together with the other ungrammatical elements, this article has little credibility. It can probably be safely dismissed.
Journalism is no place for jokes. This isn’t the only ungrammatical language in the article. If they want to be taken seriously, a good proofreader is essential. Otherwise, they’ll be perceived as you suggest: a joke.
Misleading headline. This improvement was only the best video encoding result. Most relevant improvements were in the 7-17% range. Still an improvement, but not so spectacular.
I haven’t either because I don’t see the advantage. Cases like this show that there may not be any.
