    I like THHGTTG, but I always wondered why "telephone sanitizers" didn't fall into the "workers" category.

    No, because your iPhone works with regular login forms.
    Which is, of course, the proper way to do it.

  3. Web developers on Android Is Helping Kill Passwords on a Billion Devices (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    Web developers can now design their sites to interact with Android's FIDO2 management infrastructure.

    How about you design your FIDO2 thing to automatically type passwords into regular password fields instead of asking the whole web to change for your new special feature?

  6. People should boycott all Pepsi products and send a message.

    You can count me in! In fact, I started boycotting them over 30 years ago.

  7. If they're going to make new laptops, maybe the freaking morans will fix the keyboards at the same time.

    Here is what users of Lime Scooters have to say about this problem.

    I am sure the people who believed the world was flat also thought they had a good bead on things.

    She set the paper back in front of me and said stone cold "this is something that will change our place in the universe".

    Shit. The crazy scientists are already planning to push the Earth out of orbit with this new technology. We're all doomed! #sarcasm*

    * sarcasm tag added in case some idiot "journalist" reads my comment and thinks I'm being serious.

    A room temperature superconductor is the easiest thing to do.
    Step 1. Move to Triton.
    Step 2. There is no step 2.

    Reducing volume is easy. Even my old stereo from 1973 has that. It's called a volume knob.

    "high-frequency gravitational wave generator"
    So, basically, no. Sounds like a crank.

    Wait, a crank-powered high-frequency gravitational wave generator?
    That's even more unlikely.

  19. Re:XRP is not vulnerable to this attack on Once Hailed As Unhackable, Blockchains Are Now Getting Hacked (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder how different it is for other coins which use something like Proof-of-stake, like Reddcoin. I know you can run a staking wallet on something as small as a Raspberry Pi, so basically anyone can help strengthen the network.

  20. It's a preconceived notion based on my life experience (I'm over 40). In all my life I've never seen a kitchen without a range hood. In fact I was quite shocked when I learned about recirculating range hoods 20+ years ago, because I had never even heard about those.

  21. I don't know anyone in Canada who opens his windows "for a few minutes" in the middle of Winter. Just entering/leaving the house lets a lot of heat escape and a lot of cold in.

  23. Where do you live and what's the age of that house/apartment to not have a range hood?
