Better not ask them to think outside the box or they'll come up with something like fushichou.

Although when setting this up, Gmail really make you feel like they might pull support at any minute.

I wonder if Fastmail could log you in to Gmail in a way that's consistent with Google's security model, similar to how you can "log in with Google" on many services. I'd much prefer it over the app password thing.

> I wish there was a stronger differentiation between syncable and device-bound passkeys.

But there is no difference. I'd prefer if services just let me generate a passkey and leave it entirely up to me how I manage it. Whoever setup granny's device should have done so with a cloud based manager.

I think Google tries to make some confused distinction, or maybe that has more to do with FIDO U2F vs FIDO2. There you can add either a "passkey" or a "security key", but iirc I added my passkey on my security key so... yeah

A whole paragraph on how freakishly ugly he was. I google images and he looked perfectly normal and fine in the portraits which I assume at least some were accurate.

I've been using my aeropress a lot lately after having it mostly collect dust for the better part of a decade. What I've found, as I've hopefully matured a bit since I got it, is that my problem with it was always more of a problem with myself; being a bit of a contrarian. The thing is just too revered, and for really no good reason. People are so damn pretentious about it with their recipes and championships.

James Hoffman, mentioned in the OP, has an excellent method of using it though. Removing all the bullshit and serving a slap in the face to the culture around it, I've actually come to enjoy this device using his no-nonsense "recipe".

I still prefer a good pour over but sometimes a quick plunge with the aeropress hits the spot.

How about "I struggled with git, so I read the very easily digestible and entirely free Pro Git book"

Can't compete with that!

Also not a web person, but my guess is that the bottle app makes the requests from the "server" end, so even though you're accessing the app in your browser, the browser is only communicating with the local app server and thus isn't in the way to enforce CORS.

I own this exact Casio in the drawing.

It's true that you can change the settings via the app, but it also allows for automatic time adjustment, which is nice when you live somewhere where the time signal radio reception can be sketchy. (Australia)

You can also use the "find my phone" feature when it's nearby, which to my surprise I've actually done a few times.

Last I checked, Steam still has me logging in with my two decade old hotmail address as my account name. At least it's not something that shows publicly, I think.

Actually it did reflow the entire page. In particular, it inserted line breaks where ever text was being laid out, without ever messing with the width of divs or other elements. It then made a seamless jump with the viewport to keep the point of interest where you expect it to be on the screen. That's years ago when the Chromium version came out, however. I don't know how or if it works today, or how it was implemented in Presto before then.

Is there even an industry standard format? I've been dumping CSV to my accountant and I plan on doing the same for the tax authority if they came knocking.

Something tells me they can't be too picky about such things. My experience with the tax authorities in three countries now tells me they'll take whatever odd format data you hand them.

> There are thousands of them coming off lease for sale here in Australia.

Where would I find one and what do they go for?

As a Plex server, do you know if they can handle hardware transcoding?

Thanks!

I drop my iPhone 12 mini on the daily onto marble floor, asphalt and concrete .. sometimes it flings out of my hands with an arc to it. Slippery little thing, it is.

Only the edges are a bit scratched up.
