#MiniRant #passkeys "Use passkeys", they said...

What is it about calling every new thing "great", and forgetting every older thing 5 minutes later?

A friend set up a passkey for her Nintendo Switch account with Microsoft Authenticator, which itself got deleted.

And then Microsoft went hah-hah-only-kidding and reinstated it. Meanwhile, she couldn't access her account (she'd forgotten about it, because it "just worked")

Nintendo were very helpful, but without that help she'd have lost her stuff.

I'm a geek by nature, but I was no help because I haven't fully understood passkeys.

I keep my passwords in a physical black book labelled "PHISH THIS, Y'BASSTIDS", in a drawer. Even those are in cryptic code :-)

Any digital zoom on any still camera should just be a crop.

Stop wasting storage space on your crappy interpolation, ya hosers.

Not even 2 minutes in and I’m already hating the reporter (Beto Ortegas, right?)

What do you mean #StarFleet colonizes? They don’t, they reach out for new civilizations, there is a difference between first contact and colonization.

Impose their rules and doctrines on others? Are you thinking #TerranEmpire? Starfleet invites, negotiates, compromises on what is not essential, stands fast for what it is.

What is this? FoxNews survived to the 23rd century?

Friends don't let friends use Title Case. Yet again I see examples of titles and subtitles that are inconsistent because Title Case is such a poorly defined and understood standard. Do. Not. Use.

I'm reading a book at the moment and one of the characters is making me SO angry.

He's a alcoholic, drug addict, misogynistic, conspiracy theorist and to be quite frank, the sooner he gets bumped off in this story, the better.

Hey #Google, can you stop throwing #AI at the wall and see what sticks and start pushing stuff that is actually useful for people again?
