Id say its more like a brother that I know could be doing better for himself but is instead repeatedly screwing up.

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.

This is the concept of an episode of Nathan For You. Well, its a part of an episode about making real a fake story so he doesn't get "A Million Little Pieces"-ed. Its a great show.

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.

Larry David would have benefited from this chair.

Local repair shop wants $229 to replace it. Better then the 569 Motorola wanted to fix it. Right to repair for the win.

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.
