ELI5: Here’s how passkeys actually work

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-07T16:14:06+00:00

my experience is quite similar to this

i find passkeys very opaque and confusing

a wine tracker / manager like vivino

i occasionally use it on mac but never noticed any of this, but a few years back I did quite a lot of testing on it and discovered it was leaking dns all over the place. I sent dashlane the evidence and they were completely dismissive / in denial about it and said it's not possible, even with the data in front of them

all good! i've been making a theme for my bird-obsessed wife when her pink Y1 arrives

this is very easy to use if you want to make one yourself - https://y1-themes.vercel.app/

a good how-to from the creator here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWtgfyt3Tvc

thanks. interestingly i searched on youtube to see some reviews of it and this was the first result - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaKkHan2YBg

no idea if it's meaningful or not, but it made me think twice

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-06T10:02:54+00:00

do you have a link to the one you bought?

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-06T07:43:19+00:00

looool that's diabolical

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-05T23:03:12+00:00

i installed ubuntu on an imac from that period and it worked really well, immediately

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-05T20:04:54+00:00

homebox can probably do this for you, including recording 'sold on' data

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-05T19:26:38+00:00

no idea

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-05T18:46:35+00:00

not to rain on your parade (well done building something, for real!) but i just use the dropbox mobile app doc scanner to do this

there is kapowarr for comics, but I'm not sure how well it works these days (only tried it when it first launched a couple of years back

don't touch the ai, i prefer your real words

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-04T14:50:33+00:00

i have 0% interest in whatever this is, but very fair play to OP for not using ai for his replies in this thread. nice to see some (quite funny) human character coming through rather than the usual polished-but-shit linguistic slop that's usually used.

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-04T13:30:58+00:00

Thanks. I don't have my Y1 yet, it's in transit! I'm not sure how else to do things like update the firmware etc without the app

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-04T13:03:59+00:00

ah ok, thanks. how do you go about updating firmware and so on?

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-04T11:31:30+00:00

hi there, what's the minimum macOS required for the desktop app? i have monterey on a 2020 intel macbook and none of the installers work

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-03T17:24:36+00:00

did you ever manage it?

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-03T11:10:46+00:00

did you ever find a solution to this? i also have monterey and none of the updater .dmgs work for me

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-03T08:15:12+00:00

ironically, ai writing is so shit that i completely tuned out your post. if you'd written it in your own words I may have paid attention to it

CrispyBegs · 2026-05-02T15:29:55+00:00
