You also get additional protection because rather than each website holding onto a hashed (hopefully) copy of the user passwords that can be stolen in bulk, stealing the public keys for a passkey from a site wouldn't compromise the account. Someone would have to get access to your physical device or hack your password manager individually to get access to your passkey.

And and, the magic for most people is no more passwords and 2 factor stuff to deal with. The standard is still new, and in the cases where you want to use physical keys, its always best to keep 2 in case one gets smushed or goes through the washer. Some sites that have passkeys enabled only let you have 1 passkey. So in that case its kind of risky to make a passkey the only way to sign in.

Does it count if i used to work in IT?

I still work in IT but I used to too.

In my youth I worked at a 24 hour gas station/restaurant for 2 weeks. It was robbed twice (not while i was there) and someone hit and ran and smashed up my car all in 2 weeks. But i did get unlimited coffee, pop and donuts (after 6pm) so overall I'd give it a 3/5.

If you say it loud enough you'll almost sound precocious.

Mostly just so they know which boot device to pick.

Admittedly that's probably not necessary or the least of someone's issues.

Selling to Netflix? Psssh. The real money is in is releasing films in cardboard-cased DVDs at truck stops and dollar stores.

I know it's not the same thing but the new flip phones from Motorola and Samsung have 4-ish inch screens on the front. You can run all your apps on the front screen too.

The power requirements of AM5 are a lot higher than AM4 but thats usually just a problem on the higher end chips. And compared to Intel's high end they look downright eco-friendly. 5800xt is a beast but looking down the road AM5 is the way to go. The 7600x is a solid CPU and if you get a decent motherboard then you will at the very least get the next generation AMD CPU upgrade path and hopefully the one after that too.

Main thing to look for in a motherboard I think is features, pcie layout, and then vrm quality.

On my current motherboard I was having issues with sata drives not being detected and thought I may have fried something but it turned out that some of the SATA ports were disabled if you used both M.2 slots. I also have to fiddle with the bios to get Linux to boot rather than Windows (I dual boot on separate drives). By default it always boots to Windows after a hard reset.

The game as-shipped clearly has some technical issues, but it has at least been upfront about them and what it's doing to improve the situation: given its long-term support for Cities: Skylines, which released in 2015, you'd expect it will eventually get to the root of this.

Or, hear me out cause this is a wild idea. Finish a game before you ship it?

I'll bet his favorite episode is DS9 S4E16 where O'Brian and the Ferengi start a union to protest against Quarks unfair business practices.
