on reddit they wrote the yubikeys are a thing for whole Proton and all its apps, not Pass specific. and that they are looking into it. I am too waiting for this to come for the apps, as it’s kinda stupid now to have to set the codes 2FA to be able to use yubikeys just for the web.
thanks for your help! gotta get them then for my Proton account to keep it safe and handle all the other auths with passwords and TOTPs I guess.
ok, I see some on my country sites with a reasonable price. thanks for the tips! if you don't mind I would like to ask one more question in regards to the keys.
How does they work in pairs? Like, I see an auction where I can buy one key separately, but to dont get locked out of account I would rather want to buy two. Should I look for auction with bundle of two? or I can set up two separate keys to be used for the same authorizaion?
that are two separate keys? or that's one key that has USB + NFC on it? cause that would be kinda good, as all my devices have USB except for the iPhone, but it has NFC so that would be sufficient enough
that are good suggestions. my bank accounts all require two steps authentications, with the second one being mostly auth via mobile app, so that part is enforced and always keeps the account secured better.
I do have one concern with the Proton account itself, as you wrote "no all eggs in one basket" rule of thumb. With the Pass, I have the 2FA integrated together with passwords (not for bank accounts) - a little risk in here with a gain on convenience.
Though I certainly do not store my Proton password in it, keeping it memorable and more than 40 characters long makes me feel safe. Im not sure what 2FA app to use for the Proton tho, would you recommend anything? I cannot use a physical key, as my devices have different USB connectors and I cannot have a one key for all.
that is a true concern. however in this case I have a good feature provided by my bank provider, where I can create a virtual-only card, to which I send a fixed balance amount, like $100 and that is all that card have - even tho my account may be at $1000. so given this and the e2e encryption, I guess its probably safe to store - at least the virtual cards
is it ok to store bank data in proton pass?
I’m using proton services and now the Pass password manager as well. I never let any managers save my bank data such as credit cards or login credentials being sort of afraid to.
Is this concern still valid? when using a manager like Proton Pass that has e2e encryption? what’s your opinion on holding bank data in managers like this?
it’s 3rd. first one was one day. second delay was for today’s episode. and here we have a third delay announced.
I used it today for 8 hours and damm, I must say that it is quite good. Definitely better than the "keep playing song when playlist ends" or the curated weekly lists. I had to skip songs only few times and I didn't mark ANY as "dislike", where I often that to do so few times in a row on the other options.
Perhaps a change in how I use Apple Music made this better, cause I learned from some comment here or on Reddit, that the algorithm acts better if songs are marked as love/dislike to tell it the taste, not like in Spotify where it just goes along the lists or what I listened to in the past.
I saw you said in another comment that you recently already bought an ergo keyboard, but when you go to replace it check out some of the split ergos with integrated trackpads/trackballs that are starting to get more popular. I’m eventually going to switch over to a wireless split with a trackpad on both halves which seems like the best option.
for sure in future I will consider that. not having to take hands off the keyboard is a great idea and I sure will want to try it once my current devices will start to rot.
yeah, macbook gestures are simply great, with a BetterTouchTool added to that it's just a masterpiece that nothing can beat.
sounds great and promising. +1 towards trackpad! thanks for opinion
I have a "Alice" layout keyboard, but its joined and bought recently, so for a while not going to change it. But the idea is very tempting for a future, will definitely consider a split keyboard if I will have a trackpad already!
no problems with wrist aches after using it for long?
I kind of expect it to be less problematic than a regularly shaped mouse, cause on the trackpad I could rest my hand in a similar way as on keyboard, with a bit of an angle. But never used my laptop for more than few hours not to mention to work on it for years.
Magic Trackpad for work? Good, Bad or Fine?
Is anyone here using Magic Trackpad for work? or rather for a longer periods of time? Not necessarily with a hand over it whole 8 hours, but around 50% of that time.
I’m using a trackball right now and am considering a trackpad for my left hand. At first I would want to replace the trackball/mouse with a trackpad to put relief on my right hand, but I’m also considering using both.
What are your opinions on using the trackpad alone? (I do love it on my macbook, but during my work it’s mostly in clamshell) and what are your opinions on using a trackpad on one side and mouse on the other? is it a bit too much?
Edit: so, I bought it, probably not many will see this edit, but the same will be with comment. Bought and no regrets, it feels really great for daily use. However I am using it with a mouse on the other side. Im left handed, so trackpad on left feels more natural and mouse on the right is useful in some cases.
waiting for the Public one and maybe I will hop in on the Phone. so far using PB1 on iPad and didn’t face any bigger problems, the lock screen widgets are great!
but why? 20 inch is no longer a mobile device imo, what laptop should be. am I wrong?
hmm, a shame that this website is not listing anything on the icloud mail in regards to privacy. would be nice if it would show what problems are with it in terms of privacy
Is it ok to go "all in" into Apple ecosystem?
I'm talking here about their hardware (MacBook, iPhone, iPad, iWatch) and software (iCloud, Apple One, mail, passwords, wallet, other apps), in terms of owning all of that.
What's your opinion on using everything that comes from Apple? Is there anything that you would throw away from the "basket" full of apples? If yes, then what would be that and why?
Using iCloud mail as AppleID login?
Is it safe to use iCloud mail as login for AppleID? I created my apple account originally with gmail, but I’m slowly transitioning out of the google mail and am considering changing my Apple ID as well. But given that the mail is part of the account, is it safe to use it? Are there any guides how to best secure account while using icloud mail? Having a different mail as backup for recover? Something more?
News website to read the latest news about Go?
Are there any websites, newsletters or RSS feeds that you could redo to read/subscribe to get the latest news about Go and everything around it? Like, not only about releases of new versions of the language itself, but also about trends around it.
Is there anything like that?
What do you love or hate about Safari?
Safari is often treated harshly, especially by developers working on websites. I also can’t recall if anyone ever said or wrote that he likes it as a user.
I personally am using it on all my devices and I enjoy it simplicity. I dislike the fact that there are very few good extensions for it, but I’m not sure if that’s a problem from developers or from Apple.
So, my question today is: what do you like or hate about Safari, that either made you use it or uninstall?
What are some cool niche applications you use and recommend?
Well, basically the title. I love trying out new apps across the whole ecosystem, but searching for them in the App store is not fun, and a bunch of apps I have used I found by accident in some posts or comments on the web.
So, the question is, what apps that are not widely known you use and recommend? Mac, iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS.
From me: WatchOS: TimeGlance that serves as date and time complication.
iOS/WatchOS: Duffy that serves only as a glanceable steps meter, with no fancy additions that many apps there have, and simple clean complications in watch.
iOS: Ermine, mainly serves me as a calendar widget that is better than the built in one, showing dots over the days that have some events and highlighting holidays.
iOS: Wristy, a widget to show my wrist temperature (requires Watch 8)
MacOS: Numi, a somewhat “natural language” calculator.
MacOS: Warp, a rich wrapper on the terminal.
How do you remain on track with toddlers onboard?
I have been working in the industry for 8 years and am now considered a senior developer, also as a team lead.
Three years ago, my first child was born, and a few months ago, a second one arrived. While I don't regret my decision to have kids at all, I do feel bad about how the lack of free time affects my career and how my knowledge falls behind the industry.
Before having kids, I used to spend a few hours a week on never-ending personal projects to learn new things. However, now I neither have the time nor the energy for that.
The only way that has worked for me is to read some tech books, which are often not about coding, and to read some blogs or subs like this.
However, I feel like this approach is too passive and is not providing the best outcome that I would expect.
Any tips there, perhaps from someone who was is similar situation?
Public Betas are out, who's going in?
The new iOS/iPadOS 17, WatchOS 10 and MacOS Sonoma public betas are out.
Are you going to try them? This is the first time i’m eager to try the beta, as there are so many nice small things I would like to try, but I’m not sure if this is stable enough to try it?
Apple Music or Spotify? what do you use and why?
Just wondering out here, cause Im really torn between these two. With Spotify family and Apple One I use both alternately and in both Im missing some parts that the other one have.
-
for Apple Music I mostly lack good new songs suggestion algorithm, because it very often just plays me a song that I would never ever listen to - and that's based on "continue playing" from current playlist.
-
for Spotify I lack Losseless and Spatialise.
in terms of UI, both are somewhat not great
- Apple Music is cumbersome and hard to navigate to song that is currently playing.
- Spotify is just too much noise on the screen for me
What are your thoughts?
Changes you would love to see in PHP?
To lighten up some discussion here, I would like to ask what features or changes you would love to see in future PHP versions? We know that in recent versions a lot of nice adjustments were added, but I bet most of us dreams for more.
I personally would love to see types on inline variables, at first even not strict. However, I don’t know if it’s remotely possible with how currently the language is implemented.
It ain’t much but it does it’s job
The Keychron Q8. I really love the Alice layout and the QMK/VIA software is a great addition for my workflow. The body being aluminum is nice too, really heavy, feels solid.
Postman alternatives?
I would like to hear if any of you are using different app for API testing than Postman.
I’m not telling that Postman is bad, but maybe there’s all that I should check out. Recently I tried RapidApi and even tho the app is kinda cool I missed few options and went back to Postman for now.
