> It’s up to you to decide whether protecting yourself from being tricked into exporting your passkeys is worth sacrificing your ability to read them.

Until a relying party uses attestation to decide this for you.

> As for attestation, the good news is that Apple always returns 0s for the attestation ID (because Apple, like you, opposes it as a side channel), and so any public site/app that insists on attestation would reject all Apple devices.

The bad news is this could change.

dotancohen would not be allowed to store Passkeys private keys in a Keepass database in the case thewebguyd specified. Relying parties would block password managers which allowed this.

> If I have to go get the backup out of "secure" storage each time I want to add a new Passkey it's not really a backup.

Yes.

Just have the 2nd device when you create any account. But have it away from the 1st device always. Just update 10s or 100s of accounts for every new device. Just never use sites which allows 1 Passkey.
pseudalopex··on ECC and DDR5
Intel and AMD segmented the market. Workstations and servers use registered memory. Desktops use unregistered memory. Most desktop motherboards or CPUs do not support ECC. And most people who want ECC want reliable more than fast. So ECC unregistered above standard speed memory is made and priced for a niche. But this would change if ECC was standard.

The purpose was to discourage comments which added nothing I thought.
pseudalopex··on What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph
The data showed Stack Overflow declined from 2017. This followed GitHub's rise distantly.

GitHub made documentation more consistent how? GitHub issues were more transparent how? A PR answered a question I would have asked Stack Overflow never I think.

pseudalopex··on No LLM Code in Dependencies
They said the non LLM dependency build was not default and could become untenable.

Federal juror pay is $50 daily.[1] This would be 8 hours or less of minimum wage.[2] States pay from $0 to $50 seemingly.[3]

8 states and 1 district had any employer jury pay law. All other than Nebraska excluded small employers, excluded part time employees, allowed to pay under minimum wage, allowed to pay nothing after 5 days or less, or allowed to force employees to use paid time off.[4]
