- Comment on Valve dev details more on the work behind making Steam for Linux more stable 5 days ago:
Nice, the latest update is completely bugged for me. If I launch a game full screen, the pop up for steam overlay appears multiple time, placing the chat window in front of the game, and the main steam window disappears forever.

This is not at all the case.
Most potentiometers have a full rotation or 270°, sometimes up to 300°. By convention the mid-travel is at 12 o’clock. That would make the 0 around 7:30 and the 10 around 3:30.

- Comment on What is a passkey, in practice? Is it a file? A token? Can I keep it in an USB drive? How can I save it in case of device loss? 4 weeks ago:
You do not need specific hardware to use passkey. For example you can use a password manager like Bitwarden and have your passkeys sync between multiple devices, including a good old regular computer.
Specific hardware car be use to secure how the passkeys are stored. For example, smartphones usually have a security chip that help s with storing encrypted data.

No, the cryptographic keys used in passkey are not just very long passwords. In face they are not so long. Typical keys generated with ed25519 are 60 characters long.

As far as I understand it, passkey is a password replacement and a protocol built on top of FIDO.
The intention is to replace passwords by cryptographic keys (asymmetric encryption). These keys come in pairs always:
- a private key: secret and only ever known to you
- a public key: given to the service you want to authenticate to. This key can also be seen as a lock that can only be open by the matching private key.
The keys are nothing more than text and they can very well be stored in files on a USB drive, copied, transferre, deleted, etc.
But passkey also defines the process to exchange and store the keys in a secure manner. Therefore in practice you will always use a password manager and maybe also some specific hardware, to automatically hand the key exchange and secure storage of all the different keys your have for all of the different services you registered to.

I’ve been way for too long ! I only knew of Baguette and pizza vending machines. Things are evolving so fast. Today it’s potato and mushrooms, tomorrow it will be seeds to grow in your own garden !

I’ve recently visited a grocery store in Hamburg, where you just put all your items on the self checkout counter, it detects all the prices and quantities in an instant (yes, including fruits and vegetables that require weighted!) you pay, you go. So great ! The only truly practical implementation of a self checkout, in my opinion. I’ve seen this in other types of store before (clothing) but never for groceries.

You would have told me it is more funny to draw it this way, I would have accepted the answer. But a 10yo child should know what a snail looks like. If not, then that’s just sad.

Funny, but why does this snail has eyes on its body and not at the tip of its tentacles?

- Comment on Acer’s announces its first handheld gaming PC: the Nitro Blaze 2 months ago:
I am tempted to compare the market of handheld PC to this of Single Board Computers.
You have on one hand the Raspberry Pi and steamdeck: first successful on a niche market, develop the hardware and the software to deliver a complete experience, open and hackable.
On the other hand, you have all the followers, throwing out some random imitations, with better spec. sheets, but no Software support, or just the bare minimum and ultimately the experience offered isn’t a match.
How are they hoping to compete with the steamdeck if none of them put in the effort to develop a complete and functional user experience? Acer and Asus with collect the scraps and nothing more.
