  • You missed the point. It is not about if it is private or not, it is how they use it. You are allowed (on some pages) to read news article. Are you allowed to copy and publish them on your own site? No. You have a Copyright on your posts same as a author has on his books.

    If it is legal or not is still to be discussed.

    Similar to how data was mined (or even still is) about users without consent. Now there is for example the GDPR.






  • The user does not need to understand it. A user does not understand https or hashing and salting. Still, every one of these is important these days for online security.

    I am not a huge fan of passkeys themself, especially when the secrets are held by big tech, but they promise better security and protection against command n attacks like phishing.


  • The difference is, that even if you enter the "password" on a phishing site, it is useless. Or when the server is compromised.

    The only way the passkey can get compromised, is when the device that holds it gets compromised.

    The same reason why hardware tokens for things like FIDO or U2F are recommended.


  • Passkeys are not passwords. When you authenticate using passkeys you will proof that you have the secret (passkey), but you will never reveal that secret to the service you are authentication against.

    So even if someone is able to steal that package containing the answer, that answer will not be valid a second time.

    The only company that can achieve that kind of efficiency is Apple. I say this as a proud Apple hater.

    It is not about efficiency, we already know for some time that x86 is not really efficient compared to newer architectures like arm and risc.

    But no other ecosystem exists that can force such an architecture move without much much more problems.

    So i would rephrase it as "The only company that can force that kind of fundamental change on its user and developers is Apple"

    I am not saying it is a bad thing (just alone the rosetta translate layer is actually really impressive). Would love to have some actually good and mainstream arm options such as Linux Laptop.


  • As it was already commented Host Memory Buffer can to some degree replace the DRAM cache (if the SSD supports it and even then the implementation can be bad). But the specification is from 2014 so unlikely that Laptops from up to 2015 will support it.

    When there is no DRAM cache on the SSD, the SSD will use the NAND flash cells as cache. This results in more wear and a shorter lifetime. Also, when the SSD gets filled up, the SSD gets significantly slower since there will be less free NAND cells to use as Cache.
