But now they can easily grab the passwords, which they've been doing from e-mails, messages and so on to scan the files as recently reported, so it is likely they'll do the same here. It's nice that it'll be supported, but I expect MS shenanigans. Lastly, let's not forget Embrace, Extend and...

Fingerprint unlocking only works in After First Unlock (AFU) state, meaning the decryption keys are already in memory. If this requires opening up the phone while turned on, AFU state and soldering things to the board, why not just go straight for the memory? Still, not encrypting the...

I didn't say anything about Apple or "the other team" though. Didn't even quote the part it was mentioned. I don't think of it as teams or tribes. You're projecting, maybe? My point is the author doesn't have enough knowledge to write about Android (as demonstrated by recommending LG), but...

Tell me the writer just wants to bash on Android every opportunity it gets without telling me they don't really know anything about Android.

The solution is too complex for normal people to understand. If people can't understand it, they won't trust and use it. Like electronic voting. The replacement for passwords will clearly have to be something else. Back to the drawing board.

What sort of madness it takes to trust $1800 to Google hardware.

How do I delete these "automatically created passkeys" from Android devices? I don't want it on some insecure devices (e.g. kitchen tablet), same way I don't install my password manager, 2FA and banking apps on it. It's insecure by design as anyone in the house should be able to use it freely...

It partially defeats in the sense that you can no longer count on the the login only being allowed from a device you yourself set up, as an attacker could set up another device from the backup. That's much better. Thanks.

Considering the "passkey people" emphasized that the Bluetooth is only used for a proximity check, why would I think it does anything else? If the text says any portable device, why would I think a Bluetooth selfie stick doesn't cut it? As an engineer, "only", "all", "any", "always", etc. are...

Yeah, but that's exactly what I gather from the following passages: If I can lose my phone/device and still recover access, it doesn't really depend on a private key in the Bluetooth device to do anything. Further, "any portable device" means it could be "dumb" devices too, like a Bluetooth...

Isn't the Bluetooth device used only for a proximity check, according to the article, while the main platform stores the sensitive data and use it upon verifying proximity to the Bluetooth device? If so, it's basically replacing the password to unlock the Password Manager equivalent (keystore)...

Bluetooth isn't really known for being security oriented, and spoofing attacks are widely available. Updating the vast majority of devices with fixes just doesn't happen and I'd bet attackers will find a lot more flaws if you give them a reason to look closer at it. Edit: as discussed further...

Oh look, another Wired article using some tech topic to opionate on something else. Americans have no place criticizing other countries' cultures while promoting violence, and are about to retrocede decades in women's rights with Joe v. Wade's repeal. Sexy fictional characters are not to blame...

Samsung actually does give an option to disable fast charging. More importantly, there's also an option to stop charging before 100%, which affects longevity more. They also regulate charging power based on battery temperature and whether screen is on, which could have played a role on these tests.

At this point, I've lost hope in Mozilla/Firefox fixing its way. The faster it dies, the faster something new fixing it might be born.

Retailers should just tack payment fees separately on top of the transaction value, letting customers choose using the cheaper options if they wish. I know CC companies try forbidding retailers from practicing different prices than other payment methods, but it takes a simple law to fix that.

I get that inflation is a thing, but the 3050 will be 2.28x the price of a 1050 and 1.67x of the 1650 on release, assuming you can even find it at MSRP. Nvidia is pricing out a lot of PC gamers, especially outside the US.

Meanwhile, what I actually wanted was a way to completely disable all of the Adaptive anything, which Samsung makes harder to do every new generation.

Non-book-reader here. I found it very average. I've forced myself to watch the last 3 episodes due to its hype and hope it would get better, but it didn't. Won't pick up season 2.

Interesting, I didn't know motion interpolation was to blame for this one. Between motion interpolation, overscan and dynamic backlit (that you can only disable in the service menu on newer Samsungs) I have no idea how TV manufacturers can get everything so wrong. I've been shopping for a 120hz...
