Use it on your phone, duh :P

Jokes aside I wish windows supported pin+hardware key to log in... But alas that's an enterprise only thing.

If an app gets pirated they're going to have thrown out this check too.

According to the dumbfucks making the government application of Belgium (to read official communication) trustworthy means having developer mode disabled.

"You don't have to add ads to your webpage, but if you don't nobody will find you using our search engine"

They be making everyone "choose" to add their ads/trackers to their website

Didn't really think about that one but you're right damn... (Looked it up, and it depends on the bit depth etc, but it's around 3.2Gbps for the display settings if I'm correct)... So that explains a lot

Gigabit is capable of like 720p@30Hz which it probably should be able to fall back on, but I understand why they wouldn't do that haha. 1080p@15Hz is also possible :)

One of those cables that don't work is rated for like 120W, with gigabit transfer speed... But it refuses to transmit display.... Like bruh

It gets even better, each function of the port also needs proper support from the cable. Often cables do not support the full spec of usb to cut costs.

While the symbols in the post are often put on computers, for usb cables this is seldom done (only a few brands do).

Source: had to find a cable that supports both DP and PD to connect a portable external monitor after I lost the original cable. (1/9 cables worked)

At least the cars can be updated (at least until the manufacturer says fuck it). A ton of those 'smart' devices have no such capability so when a vulnerability is found it won't ever be fixed.

For that particular website yes, but a salted client side hash is worthless on a different website.

Edit: plus even unsalted it would only work if the algorithm is the same and less iterations are done

It helps against the server being able to read the password, so a bad actor (either the website itself or after a hack) could read your password. Which isn't bad if you're using good password hygiene with random passwords, but that sadly is not the norm.

They're probably just going to disable it for manual access and add a regkey that you can add to regain access. (They've done the same for other 'deprecated' features)

Why would you not hash in the browser. Doing so makes sure the plaintext password never even gets to the server while still providing the same security.

Edit: I seem to be getting downvoted... Bitwarden does exactly what I described above and I presume they know more than y'all in terms of security https://bitwarden.com/help/what-encryption-is-used/#pbkdf2
