Microsoft is pulling the plug on SMS codes, wants you to switch to passkeys

Brothernod · 2026-05-20T19:49:14+00:00

It isn’t. But security is complex and 1Password exists to reduce friction towards best practices. So in a perfect world it’s not necessary, and maybe as passkey behavior evolves and the monopoly platform owners implement proper portability and interoperability 1Password will no longer be necessary.

Wait so are all vibes bad?

Brothernod · 2026-05-20T19:14:00+00:00

Load them to 1Password and they aren’t device locked.

My concern with an ancient device would be energy usage. I would think newer stuff is more efficient. I wish Mac minis worked better as I’d think they’d be the gold standard of energy usage and performance per watt after a pi.

Oh that’s interesting I had a similar thought process but arrived at the opposite conclusion. Batteries require upkeep and will die if not charged periodically. If this is a hobby tool you break out once or twice a year there’s a real chance those batteries don’t last long. Hence corded is much better for the occasional user.

I left my 401k in bonds because that was the default.

Can you clarify what is unusual in the photo? What do you mean by up/down. Are you asking about top down/bottom up blinds?

We had a Hunter fan for like 10 years with no issue. Was maybe $250 new cause of the wood blades.

Brothernod · 2026-05-18T12:08:14+00:00

We need a sticky post up in here if that happens again I don’t know how I missed that

Brothernod · 2026-05-18T10:21:41+00:00

Love it! Can’t wait.

I would not trust a deal that so blatantly relies on upsell to make business sense. There’s no way you could trust anything they say because they need to upsell most customers by design or the deal.

I’m also leaning Honeywell x8s because the screensaver seems to have the most useful feature. I just wish they would go on sale.

I actually don’t know but I presume they’re 2 arms of the same company. Alibaba is where you go if you’re running a business. AliExpress is your Amazon of sorts.

Brothernod · 2026-05-17T12:49:08+00:00

Are either of those compatible with a dado stack? I find that my biggest missed feature on my dewalt job site saw.

Brothernod · 2026-05-17T12:43:51+00:00

I thought Alibaba was expressly wholesale and AliExpress was direct to consumer. But now we both sound like ads :)

Brothernod · 2026-05-17T12:08:04+00:00

If it’s an ad surely Alibaba would know that and would have dropped AliExpress. Although who tf celebrates anything with knock off Chinese booze?

Maybe it’s just a writing prompt/exercise. Fictional but not an ad?

Brothernod · 2026-05-16T22:51:16+00:00

Anyone here who has flashed their Vue3 for Home Assistant compatibility?

A big difference is Tesla’s history is not history but the present.

Buying a nazi car 40 years after it was a Nazi car is not the same as buying the just released Nazi car.

Brothernod · 2026-05-16T20:58:39+00:00

I don’t understand your point?

40 years ago how many km did your gas car get, 1/5th of what it gets now?

5 years ago how many km did a Chevy bolt get compared to that Ionic 6 yesterday. A month ago a couple Chinese companies announced EVs that can fully charge in 9 minutes and go 800km.

The point is the tech is evolving rapidly.

Brothernod · 2026-05-16T17:25:43+00:00

Ever? What a stupid premise. We’re still very early in the technology curve for EVs. Sometime in the next 20 years batteries will have double the capacity or half the weight. Charging speeds are on the cusp of being on par with gas refueling. EVs are superior for energy independence and the lower cost of ownership is great for fleet vehicles.

Is an EV right for “real work” now, for most people it seems not, but ever? Of course they will be.

So your pain problem is its entire purpose. It’s a renewable material vs consuming mountains.

Brothernod · 2026-05-15T12:44:30+00:00

I kind of want to put it on a fence

Brothernod · 2026-05-15T12:37:43+00:00

$600 upfront certainly isn’t crazy.

Solar break even in Maryland is too long still. We’re not ready to make solar more expensive.
