  • I chose the dual boot option when I decided to switch a year ago, and I found myself rarely using Windows eventhough it is installed on my laptop. I might have only boot it up 3-4 times since the switch, for GFN not working properly with ALT when running through browser. The dual boot just make my disk partition needlessly complicated, and I'm going to reinstall it yet again, without Windows.

  • I gave up in Firefox Sync an year ago as it doesn't work reliably for me. The sent tab function, the main reason I use sync, tabs are frequently delayed (as in over a minute) or straight up not working. Now I uses SimpleX group for my cross device communications.

    Maybe it is improved but I'm too lazy to try.

  • The title is misleading. In nowhere the article say the Settings app will be removed, but an AI that will tweak system settimg based on usage patterns.

    I guess it like: I have my brightness set at zero at 22:00, but sometimes I'm still using my phone and it dim suddenly which is a bit frustrating. This AI will learn that not to turn down the brightness when I'm using it, and wait until some other events happened then trigger the dimming. (Auto brightness doesn't goes all the way down that Tasker can do.)

  • That's not how Passkey, and the underlying WebAuthn works.

    (Highly simplifies but still a bit technical) During registration, your key and the service provider website interacts. Your key generated a private key locally that don't get sent out, and it is the password you hold. The service provider instead get a puclic key which can be used to verifiy you hold the private key. When you login in, instead of sending the private key like passwords, the website sent something to your key, which needs to be signed with the private key, and they can verify the signature with the public key.

    The CXP allows you export the private key from a keystore to another securely. Service providers (Netflix) can't do anything to stop that as it doesn't hold anything meaningful, let alone a key (what key?), to stop the exchange.

  • One is a new technical specification called Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) that will make passkeys portable between digital ecosystems, a feature that users have increasingly demanded.

    I.e. I can copy my key to my friends' device.

  • Repeated revisions with LLM of course is needed. For a small side FOSS project, the TOS and privacy policy is just in case. Plus the OP isn't intended to make money off of it. The risk of someone going after OP is really low. I don't really think OP need to get a real lawyer to do it.
