zyberzero··on YubiKey 5 Series with New NFC and FIDO2 Passwordless Features
This doesn't do it either [0], unfortunately :(

[0] https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/compare-yub... - "ECC applies to the smart card applet only; does not apply to the OpenPGP applet. ECC P256 is the key type generated for the U2F keypair."

zyberzero··on Motorola Razr V3 Cellphone: The trend-setter that shouldn't have existed
My phone still let me do that, plain vanilla Samsung S8. I'd be surprised if that didn't work in the most phones on the market today.
zyberzero··on The #1 Office Perk? Natural Light
Sweden as well.
zyberzero··on Court: Native American tribe can’t be a “sovereign” shield during patent review
I can recommend the whole "Dirty Money" series that the article refers to. The episode about Scott Tucker was really interesting (and to me, an European), I had no idea that the Indian tribes were immune for certain prosecutions.
zyberzero··on Microsoft announces Surface Go
So, the thing that Microsoft called Continuum? If you had their Windows Phone-device, you could just hook it up to a big screen either via a docking solution or Miracast and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It worked quite good for some of the applications (mostly used Outlook and PowerPoint this way, also RDP to my "real" computer to use Visual Studio).
zyberzero··on Phantom traffic jams, and why lane expansion isn’t really successful
I'm not parent, but just a note from me: I drove a brand new Volvo XC40 last week that had adaptive cruise control. If someone just cut in to the front of me the car slammed on its brakes even if it wasn't necessary. The car could just as easily slow down gradually until necessary space was free in front of the car (as I usually do when I don't have adaptive cruise control).
zyberzero··on BGP leaks and cryptocurrencies
They do, and they don't. They have a round robin setup, for which resolver that validates the DNS challenge - however, they do not validate the DNS challenges from several resolvers[1]. So, if that particular resolver got caught in the BGP leak while doing a challenge verification you could get a valid cert. Lots of ifs and buts - but it is certainly possible.

zyberzero··on Another Tesla on autopilot steers towards a barrier
I've rented a model S for a weekend and drove about 1 000 kilometers in it.

Naturally, I tried the auto pilot feature on a highway but I wasn't to impressed. There is a major "bump" (negative G-forces), and the car tried to swirl into the other lane (this was within the first 40 minutes of my drive), and that made me distrust the auto steering feature.

As I think you're onto, I DO feel that auto pilot is the future, but we're not there yet - let's improve the existing life saving features (and not disconnect them, looking at you, Uber).

zyberzero··on 'Striking weaknesses' in adult financial skills
I've noticed this as well here in Sweden. Take for example bacon - product A is listed in terms of price/slice while the other is listed as price/weight. It's ridiculous.
zyberzero··on How Sweden is building the world’s second-longest road tunnel
My understanding is that the bypass will not be tolled. According to Stockholm Citys own webpage [0] 'Ingen trängselskatt planeras på Förbifart Stockholm.' = 'No toll is planned on Bypass Stockholm'. However, our politicians are well know for their ability to change their minds :)

zyberzero··on The History of .NET [video]
I saw this talk last September in Sweden, at DevIntersection Europe. Campbell is a really good speaker and I really enjoy listening to his podcast dot net rocks. Try it if you haven't!
zyberzero··on Find and analyze any reachable server and device on the internet
GeoIP isn't that good. It put two of my machines (located in Frankfurt, DE and Amsterdam, NL) in the US. They also put my home IP located in Sweden in the neighbooring country Norway (I have a Norweigan ISP though).
zyberzero··on The new Nokia phones are here: Nokia 6, 5, 3 & 3310
Since, from my understanding of the texts, all the Nokia Android devices are running stock Android, I guess they can apply the same updates as for the Google devices.
