he looks like every mid 30s guy that refuses to age and that buys 12$ coffee at local coffee shops because they can definitely taste the difference

One of the books I had to read in school was Animal Farm by George Orwell, where the tyrannical leaders are pigs. Quite ironic for him to say that as the pigs were the ones censoring the other animals.

he wasn't supporting trump, he was agreeing with one specific policy choice he made that would help reduce big tech influence. Andy has no history of being a Maga supporter and even today, he posts only progressive stuff

that's not the point, passkeys are not vendor centric, they are a standard. you don't want to duplicate a passkey for the same reason you don't want to copy an SSH private key on multiple devices. it's a security feature that allows disabling the account access in case the device becomes compromised (lost, stolen, infected, etc.)

a very long password that (ideally) is only bound to a single device, requires a second identifier (biometric, PIN, password) and that is phishing resistant.

easy, go at an ATM, get 20$ bills, and then ask people (friends, cashier etc) to change it for smaller or larger bills

why all this fuss about lossless audio? Spotify premium is literally indistinguishable from lossless audio for 99.9% of the population and songs (because not all songs will be lossless or are even mastered in a way that makes a difference). granted if...

  • you have the right hardware
  • you have the ear trained to hear compression
  • you picked a song that has audible compression artifacts however small they may be
  • you are in a quiet room
  • you are actively looking for compression artifacts

you may hear a difference. if you think otherwise, then do a lossy vs lossless blind test and be impressed that you actually cannot hear the difference most of the time (especially without actively looking for the artifacts)
