Good footage. AI slop commentary.

That’s not what I said

I just saw that tinder is testinf ai to match profiles.

Thanks. Will check it out.

Good way of putting it. How many people have three devices they can use for storing passkeys? I don’t and I’m a nerd.

Yeah this is my situation. My personal computer is really infrequently used and as such I’m already in a dangerous situation when it comes to sign-in risk detection kicking off and asking for further authn proofs. I’ve had my phone die (and come to life when its replacement arrived) and that was a harrowing situation because all the MFA is stored there. Passkeys seem to make it worse, unless I subscribe to a sync service, which I need to infallibly trust (and I’m iffy on that; 1Password has a good security model and all that but passkeys are a different level of trust).

You create unique accounts for every team member so that access can appropriately be logged.

Or you implement a PAM tool that logs access and vaults the password and rotates it after use.

They’re device-bound certificate based authentication with some shiny bits.

Or they’re portable-via-certain-services certificate based authentication with some shiny bits.

Either way they’re new and try explaining that the user needs a new one for every device (or needs a new app to carry them around in) and that if the device dies, or the app dies, they lose it all. I have quite a few people in my life who can’t wrap their heads around using a password manager.

Personally, I find them irritating. My chosen password manager on iPhone doesn’t support them, so I need to have the iOS password vault turned on (yes, this is a dark pattern Apple has created to try to increase adoption of their password vault) to use them. Adoption needs to be much higher, interoperability needs to be better, and they need to put back the hint for which vault to use (which was removed early on to keep Microsoft and google from forcing chrome/edge vaults, but has the actual effect that chrome/edge tend to win the race over other options and means that the passkey prompt might be for a different app than the one that you prefer, leading to further user confusion)

That’s an IAM no-no.

How many unemployed people do you know in the trade? You can’t learn it overnight. Existing projects are underway, and the equipment needs to be built.

Edit - reread the summary there and they broke ground in 2019; you’re right that’s silly.

Globally, there’s going to be continued need for your skills.

Locally, it may vary.

Look globally. And good luck with finding your path. I have done the unemployment track and it is unpleasant.

My toilet needs to flush somehowsomewhere

Edit: flush somewhere, now somehow.

Unpopular opinion: cats are an invasive species in most places, like dogs, and shouldn’t be subject to different regulations than dogs.

Keep them on a leash if you care about them.

Is this a bellwether for how the car will handle a kid? Perhaps. Worth thinking about.

They’re useless people. Look how much change Israel has accomplished in the last 60 years! They created a large economy, industrialized, created so many farms and made the land productive. None of the Arab states want to take all the Palestinians, which shows you what they really think. And the Palestinians are terrorists too.

I just can’t even with people sometimes.

This is why unions matter. Aside from negotiating employment agreements, they can lobby government. Enough unions across enough industries will make change.

Simply, check for cloud dependency; can you set it up without the thing’s app, without internet? Does it keep working when the internet is down?

• zigbee
• zwave
• onvif/rtsp
• matter
• if it supports HomeKit, there’s a good chance you can use a bridge to bring it into Homeassistant

Thread and matter can have “unique” implementations but it’s better than proprietary.

Yeah it wasn’t that long ago that 1t was a big deal. I guess that’s what inflation buys you.

Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good enough.

What platform would you suggest they use going forward?

I just saw that they’re bringing back local controls but I bet it’s going to time out if the service is down for more than X time to refresh your license.

Ah my definition of smart thermostat is one that is IoT. We’ve had the offline, scheduling and multistage compatible for decades.

Definitely agree on the UI experience. Apps are nicer.
