Ignoring any supposed security benefits, personally I use it because it's much more convenient/ faster than logging in with a password since.

You're still slightly less likely to get phished if you only ever login with passkey and only use the password in case of lost passkey. Of course you could get phished that one time but entering your password once (maybe never) has got to be better than entering it daily.

I don't have any passkey accounts where I didn't start off with a password and after adding a passkey the password login method was always retained. What services are people using where you don't need to set a password?

> Yes, there's the minimal risk of lockout if you lose access to the passkey (though almost every site I've used that implements pk's lays it on top of their traditional user/pass auth flow)

Exactly, if you lose your passkey you just sign in with your password like you did previously. I'm yet to find an app/website that has passkeys only and no passwords.

Seems like a total non-issue to me.

If you have wired I just found out you can get a $30 wireless dongle for this these days. Available for both CarPlay and Android Auto. Meant to work pretty flawlessly although mine is the mail so I haven't tested it out yet.

It's not entirely, because Github simply does not support inter-version diffs when you have multiple commits. If you force push onto multiple commits there is no way to show a diff between version 2 and version 3 of those commits. How Github lacks such basic (and imo necessary) functionality in 2025 is amazing to me.

Something like linked and dependent PRs in a chain would go someway to replicating Gerrit but again this basic functionality is not available out of the box for whatever reason.

Migrating to Obsidian looks to be very easy now: https://help.obsidian.md/import/evernote

When I converted many years ago it required 3rd party tools and was slightly more involved (but still totally worth it).

Presumably they were using a decompiler e.g. IDA Pro to know what characters to change in the hex editor? I've done that before to find offsets in the binary to NOP out some function calls.

5% at 70 mph is 3.5 mph

10% at 30 mph is 3 mph

I saw this with various European cars.

My experience is that it seems to be a fixed percentage rather than a fixed amount i.e. the absolute difference increases with speed.

It's not a rumour. They usually read somewhere between 5-10% over actual speed. Use a more accurate GPS speedometer on your phone to check that.

For sure. $1000 Herman Miller Aeron has been worth every penny considering the time spent sat on it.

Just use gettimeofday/clock_gettime via vDSO.

  struct timespec ts;
  clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts);
On arm64 it directly uses the cntvct_el0 register under the hood but with a standard/easy to use API instead of messing about with inline assembly. Also avoids a context switch because it's vDSO.
