Da Red goez fasta. Hence the router beats the non red router to the punch.

No Valve system is console like. The PC / Console difference has always been that consoles are a walled garden. Consoles are PCs to be easy to use and not allow unauthorized software to run on it.

It's not though. We get the machine code for programs we run on our PCs. All the logic is provided to the end user. The only protection these days, is not doing all the game logic on the end users PC.

They don't organize over Instagram. One of many social accounts had issues. Around 3000 communities participated. They are doing fine.

I still can use my password. I use the passkeys for the convenience and extra security. If I lost all my devices I would just login with my password and add a new passkey. I would also remove any for devices that I don't control or are damaged. I suspect even if the site were passkey only, they would have some account recovery workflow.

Can you login using a password on an untrusted PC and be sure it's still safe? And there is no lock in. You can have multiple passkeys from different providers I have Windows and Android setup for my bank. The lock in conspiracy doesn't even make sense. Who benefits. Let's just say Google tried to only allow passkeys. Why is my bank going to drop passwords and enter into passkey only relationship with Google and/or Apple. If I have that power I am not going to use a web standard anyone can implement. I would use a proprietary system that nobody else can.

It's not though. Passkeys are meant to allow you to have multiple. They also don't need to replace passwords. Take my bank setup. I have a password, a windows passkey and an android passkey. I saved the time needed to setup the passkeys, the very first time I used them. The passkeys are easier to use, than my password, and more secure.

It breaks the traditional login paradigm. I had a hard time trying to setup a single device as my passkey manager. Now I realize that you should make one on all your devices. My bank website, I have my password and two separate passkeys. Individual sites may have an implementation issue, but in that case I use the more troublesome password workflow. I still come across password implementation issues on some sites.

Passkeys are always more secure.

It's the Walmart Effect at internet speeds.

The public isn't saying anything of the sort. Police are buying them or cities. It's justified by telling us it makes us safer, but it's not. Let's be honest, if you have a license plate number, the alpr system probably isn't that useful. Criminals steal cars and license plates. Immigrants and activists don't.

It isn't an effective panopticon. It can find people who aren't trying to hide. How hard is it going to be to fool if you can subvert it with a few fake plates (even easier to make with those convenient paper plates and it). An effective system wouldn't be creating a bunch of false positives. Luigi Mangione got caught because of one security cam. If he had just changed his look, we would never have got the hostel picture.

January 6th was not a surveillance society win. It was a flash mob that live streamed their crimes, along with identification done by private individuals sleuthing in forums and chat groups.

The Nancy Guthrie case felt like ring cameras and Flock or traffic cams should have figured it out in no time. Yet it didn't happen. I feel like this is going to be something that only really works in cases, where investigation would solve it.

Luigi Mangione got caught because he messed up. A simple change of clothes or ditching the very individual looking items he was carrying. If he had done that, you wouldn't have had a facial ID on him.

The Nancy Guthrie case on the other hand went nowhere, because we couldn't definitively make a match.

On the other hand we have multiple instances of bad data causing people to be subject to being targeted by the police. We have police threatening or arresting people based on a lack of corroboration. Some times ignoring clearly exonerating evidence.

The world is a better place without license plate cams.
