iOS needs a better way to show when a VPN is active on devices with the dynamic island. The only way to know is to swipe down on the control center.

I try to picture how people look in my mind and then the face reveals are like 🫨

An authenticator app can be cloned or accessed by a third party. A key is a physical device you have to plug into the device (or tap) to authenticate. So it would be much harder for someone in another continent to access your accounts without physical access to the key. But it's all moot if there's a backup way to get in.

The only thing I've seen that requires the keys 100% is Googles Advanced Security thing. But that kills off Third Party app access.

You can use the keys to login to your computers with a pin. Not sure about encrypting drives etc. Would be cool to find out.

However the keys are just a USB drive anyone can plugin and touch. Unless you get a biometric reader anyone with physical access to your keys and password can use them.

Let me try Bard first haha I feel bad that they gave me an early invite and ive used it once.

I have several hardware keys and here is my biggest hot take: not many services support them and the ones that do still have email/sms/otp codes as a backup. Completely voiding the reason for the keys in the first place.

Well id like to quit sweetners too (since they affect insulin). Just to "detox." Not forever but maybe a couple weeks.

Trying to quit sugar. Give me recipe ideas.

Talking about bitcoin is fine. I like Bitcoin. Talk about whatever you want (bitcoin, coffee, religion, politics). That's the beauty of this place. Just pointing out that it's repetitive and boring to talk about the same thing like this is one giant subreddit.

Yeah πŸ˜‚ def not in California. This place sucks.
