In a previous position, we used Adobe Connect a lot for online meetings, and the normal way of sharing presentations was to upload them to the room and control the presentation from there.

Webex has this as well, but I find that most people don't bother and just share their screen.

See also https://wikimap.toolforge.org/, which puts wikipedia articles on a map so you can explore that way.

Edit: others have pointed out https://wiki-map.com/, which is way better.

Who would you sue? The one that missed all of your serious cavities or the one who is exaggerating the tiny ones to make a buck?

There was something like this that came with an old Sound Blaster card back in the day that I spent quite a lot of time with. It had something like this, where you could pick individual strings with the number pad and change chords with the F buttons.

>Not even Google reliably lets you fall back to a password, according to the comments in this article.

I logged in with my google password (on my TV, the other method using my phone wasn't working for some reason) the other day even though I normally use a passkey from my phone or computer. It worked just fine.

Kind of, but I have some of my most important passwords and account recovery codes duplicated on paper in a secure place. If there was ever a service that only allowed passkey login (do those exist?), you can't print those out.

What services implement it like this? Don't services usually implement passkeys as a more secure alternative to a password, but password login is still available?

Some sites allow passkeys as an option for MFA, so that could be an issue if the passkey is your only MFA option and MFA is required. But I imagine email would pretty much always be a fallback.
