The benefit of passkeys over passwords is that they’re phishing resistant and use strong encryption. They’re effectively an iteration on yubikeys meaning you can have as many (or as few) passkeys associated with a given login as you’d like. So, you can easily prevent there being a single point of failure in the system.

Passkeys are tied to accounts and devices and those devices are the only devices used for authentication. This means you can access your account form a public device without that device ever knowing your credentials provided you and your secure device are physically present so it avoids the whole keylogger issue.

Yes! This is a movie my parents let me watch when I was like ten or eleven and it definitely stuck with me.

I think you may be mistaken, friend. The USB 3.0 controller is part of the A17 Pro SoC. It was specifically called out during the keynote when discussing the A17 Pro. You can read about it here too: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-a17-pro-3nm-iphone-15-pro

It’s clickbait because they’re using last years chip like they always do. It’s not out of spite. The usb controller on the A16 Bionic does not support USB 3.0 because lightning never needed it. The A17 Pro in the pro models has an updated USB controller.

MagSafe wireless chargers definitely let you pick them up and use the phone like you would when it’s plugged it. Wireless charging certainly has its drawbacks, but constrained usage seems like an odd angle.

For instance, a few months before my most recent trip I bought a nifty MagSafe battery pack from Anker that also came with a travel stand I could set up in my hotel room. I could let my phone sit on the stand or I could slide the battery pack out and use it like I normally would. It reminds me of the days where I could just swap my cell phones batteries.

I meant the computations are expensive, i.e. slow to perform even with good processors. When you need to do something millions of times, anything to make that faster helps with the overall safety of the system.

No mention of the multiple award winning Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? This list is a farce!

Colorado here, and at most restaurants you’ll usually be asked what type of tea or be brought a mug/teapot of hot water and an assortment of tea bags to choose from.

Optical cameras alone have issues as well that can’t be handled though. It’s the combination of the two along with other things like ultrasonic sensors that makes them safe. More sensors in general are better because they reduce the computational burden and provide redundancy - even if that redundancy is to safely stop.

Cost is certainly an issue, but on $40k+ vehicles it’s cheap enough for other EV makes to include it in the cost. Volvo for instance is using Luminars version at a cost of about $500 (https://www.wired.com/story/sleeker-lidar-moves-volvo-closer-selling-self-driving-car/).

Image processing is expensive even with dedicated hardware and LiDAR provides enough extra information to avoid needing to make make certain calculations off of images alone (like deltas between image series to calculate distance). Those calculations are further amplified by conditions where images alone don’t provide enough information - similar to how there are conditions where the LiDAR data alone wouldn’t be sufficient.

Just commenting to say I thoroughly enjoy your choice of username. Loved that little joke.

These are really popular with people traveling to Colorado ski resorts and getting altitude sickness. They’re useful to grab to avoid getting sick and combating the symptoms if you do.

I picked up Overload recently, and it’s from the creators of Descent. I really enjoy it - even if I’m flying into the walls most of the time.

They’re not. They used to be the cheapest cut of chicken because most places would just toss them out. As buffalo wings became more popular people have been consuming them more driving up the price. They taste good, but they’re definitely not priced well at 3.99 a pound. I would expect them to be on par with the cost of chicken breasts.

Lately, I’ve seen it for controller detection on PC games. Larian games like Baldur’s Gate 3 at least use it to change how they render the “Main” menu. I mean, the “Main” menu also changes if I plug in a controller so maybe it’s just an aesthetic thing held over from older video games.

This game is everything I wanted Divinity Original Sin 2 to be. I’m so happy that Larian knocked it out of the park with this one.

I feel like Dominions 5 might fit. It’s a pretty niche game; very deep, but I don’t know too many others that play it.

I don’t believe they’re insinuating that you were the one that created the mistake. Rather, that you seem to be knowledgeable of the specific problem and may be the one most capable of fixing it. The two line fix may be obvious to you, but may not to the main Lemmy devs. Until phriskey got involved, a lot of db tuning was being avoided (they’re responsible for most of the big db improvements this version).

I think overall I associate more people on the left being vegan than the right; however, anecdotally I know more vegans that are conservative/right leaning. I don’t know why that is other than maybe it being a fairly well off area with hippie roots.

You did it! Hello, and welcome to the club. Lemmy has been my first foray into hosting a site on a VPS and it’s been quite the rabbit-hole; for the better of course. I hope you have fun.

Wow, here in Colorado there’s well over 70 that match that description within 30 miles of me and up in the mountains there’s at least a few even in the more remote parts. There are definitely large swaths of Kansas that could use them. I wouldn’t trust a road trip to Dodge City for instance. Hopefully they spread them out in to those empty spots!
