OIDC is based on Oauth2. The auth part of Oauth stands for authorization, not authentication which brings me to the problem I have with OIDC - namely OIDC is about granting external party access to your data. You can mitigate this a bit via using something like Okta, which just does not have this data, but lets say you don't have Okta and all you have is Google Workspace.

Excellent job! How did you approach the licensing matter, as in order to customise Windows installation media and in order to be compliant with licensing terms one needs to solve (and pay for) this non-trivial puzzle if it can be solved in the first place: https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/d/4/3d42bdc2-6725-... ?

I guess Microsoft has to make money somehow, but it's not funny. And the worst thing is that you somehow have to magically know this.

I really wish that OIDC / Oauth(orization) would be less confusing from user experience and security perspective.

What I have in mind - I'd say only very small population understand that OIDC / Oauth(orization) is about granting access to a service to access your data. Meaning once you have approved service (lets say Dropbox), now Dropbox can access your data on your google account (this of course depends what exactly dropbox asked and if you clicked on "approve", but most people do click as they want to login to Dropbox via their Google account).

SAML is better, as it can be defined at Google side what data is being sent to DropBox when Single Sign On happens and DropBox cannot access your google data as it sees fit.

SAML ain't perfect either because there's no practical way to "sign me out everywhere"

IBM Storage Protect (used to be called IBM Spectrum Protect, Tivoli Storage Manager, ADSM) used to be a thing, probably still is. Not cheap though.

Or perhaps get Samsung Xcover Pro - removable battery and IP68 rating (and audio jack!) https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_xcover6_pro-11600.php

Interesting. For example how would one find a "new" Tool or Deftones? Current algorithms probably don't "pick up" not-yet-so-popular things. For example Shelton San (I found out about them via word-of-mouth), although I'm frequent user of Spotify. This means that classical promotion channels are still necessary, as otherwise things get lost in noise.

That's the thing - authentication capability is basically sideeffect of Oauth/OIDC. SAAS x can request whatever they want via OIDC and then user can either accept it or decline it. This is protocol, not google specific matter. Ask ordinary user how they understand what is being asked from them when they are trying "to log in" via OIDC/Oauth. With SAML it's the other way around - administrator chooses what is being sent to SAAS x, user does not need to decide anything nor do they get hard to understand prompts.

From adminstration and user perspective Oauth (Oauthorization) is alot more confusing though.

"Why is google asking me to grant access to my google drive for SAAS X, I just want to login to SAAS X via Google"

Would be great if chromeos flex would start supporting organisation provided wifi credentials - currently only device generated keys are an option, meaning one has no idea whatsoever if keys generated are actually good enough or are just looking random while generated might be generated predictably. No idea, as it's a black box. Allow organisations to generate keys off device and allow these to be uploaded to the device, and then we can start considering it.

The other problem is that other vendors do not provide chromeos versions of their tools. Looking at you Fortinet and your vpn.

Agree with the article. The worst offender is probably Oauth providing endless confusion to developers and end users

When has the switch been toggled though and how can I know in each implementation?

1. Is it when I pushed the toggle, regardless of when animation finishes? 2. Is it when the animation finishes

This is necessary when flipping many toggles on one page and it needs to be done many times over. In case there's no animation, it simple and clear. In case there's animation you need the know is it case 1 or 2. If it's case 2 it will additionally slow you down as you now need to wait until all animations lengths * number of switches toggled has finished.

Looked very promising, but there are some hard blockers: 1. It's not shipping yet, meaning there are no trustworthy reviews. 2. It will be shipped to USA only. 3. It needs apple device for (full) control.

Hopefully all of these will be adressed

Dirigera still does not support Matter. I bought it for 'coming soon' Matter support, but it's still not there. Have been waiting for looong time now.

Which is Nintendo Switch when it comes to latest gen consoles. https://www.vgchartz.com/article/458542/ps5-vs-switch-sales-...

I wonder when Ikea's Dirigera https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/dirigera-hub-for-smart-products... is getting Matter support. Have been waiting for ages now

I've hit "Thunderbird is slow" many times and it has turned out that the reason is that GMail is applying rate limiting.

I originally switched from Apple mail because I thought Apple mail could not handle my gmail.

The domain does not resolve for me.

This looked very promising (despite the pricetag), but those have only 1xsata.

Oh boy. I'd buy this instantly if it was AMD. Is there comparable alternative which uses AMD CPU?

Whats the problem with Mediateks? Thinking about getting bunch of P41s amd gen 1's for work but intel wifi is not available because chip shortag so it's either realtek or mediatek.

I'm really interested in instructions which would enable storage encryption key to be stored in the TPM so Linux could have the similar user friendly flow as MacOS and Windows with Bitlocker has - boot up computer, storage is decrypted automatically so user only needs to know username and password. If storage is removed from computer or booted from "untrusted source", storage stays "locked".

Backup key, for recovery purposes, needs to be stored in a password vault/physical safe/some external system. The same as it is with MacOS Filevault/Microsoft Windows Bitlocker.

I don't know which kind of answer satisfies you, so I'm gonna answer in many different ways: 1. It's a "frontend" for warehouses 2. It's a webstore for buying stuff 3. It's a middleware between a company buying stuff and warehouse selling stuff

It's usually used by businesses who need to buy gear. It gives you overview of different warehouses selling the same thing, the difference between them is usually delivery time, pricing, amount of stock. So you can decide that hey, I want this from warehouse Y and this from warehouse X. They also do autooptimization based on pricing or amount of shipments if you want to.

The reason why I like them is because it's simple, adfree, easy payment, easy tracking.... it's just easy. For example here's a random product: https://www.markit.eu/us/en/kingston-datatraveler-70-usb-fla... On the left you can see the whole catalogue of things.

The only caveat I'm aware of is that it's for companies only.

But, as said before, I have only used them in Europe where it's the default option and in a rare occasion where they don't offer something, I need to use an alternative. By and large they have 99% of our cases covered. Usually they might not have the cheapest price, but it's okay because the ease of use pays it back in a blink of an eye.

Kind of answering to myself. I discovered that Markit works in the USA too: https://www.markit.eu/us/en/Catalog.aspx

Whats a good online webstore from where to buy equipment for our personnel in the USA, mostly computer monitors, laptop desk stands, usb hubs and so on?

Amazon has been quite bad so far - takes lots of time to find the correct item and then begins the game of "is this thing the real thing or not?".

Employees are spread out in the USA, especially in these covid times. Delivery time is not critical compared to the item's authenticity, pricing and support.

Wonder what has changed. It was standard practice 15 years ago not to expose Microsoft Exchange (nor any other Microsoft product) directly to internet.

Kids these days... Spectrum protect/Tivoli storage manager/adsm is where the backup is. Since 1989.

Long time user here. But not anymore, because it's veeeery slow on Retina Macbook Pro. That also prevents promoting it at work because it is so slow. Microsoft Office is a faster, sad to say. In general, everyone has access to Google Workspace and if functionality lacks, then Microsoft Office it is.

I have: Asus PRIME A520M-K Motherboard 2x M391A2K43DB1-CVF (Samsung 16GiB ECC Unbuffered RAM) AMD Ryzen 5 3600

I specifically was looking for bang for buck, low(er) wattage and ECC.
