>The Nintendo Switch (which runs Linux) was a favorite of cheaters after jailbreaks came out.

If you're saying the Nintendo Switch system software is Linux-based, I don't think that's correct. It's a proprietary system based on a microkernel architecture.

There's something deeply satisfying about compiling a Win32 desktop application and knowing that single binary will run unmodified on essentially every Windows machine from XP onward, and look nearly identical doing it. High-DPI is the one real caveat, but even that's manageable with a manifest. I'm not sure any other platform-native API comes close to that combination of reach and consistency. Running them on other operating systems is really just a bonus.

stunnel is often easier to embed directly into client applications, whereas WireGuard is better suited as a system-level VPN.

That's a fair criticism which I'm surprised the parent didn't point out.

I reckon hackers get a thrill out of doing the inputs themselves. They seem to be able to disregard the fact they've got an unfair advantage, pretending that they are still achieving something by their acts.

Where vision based AI will start running riot is in games like Runescape where macroing is a huge problem. I expect it will become undetectable and therefore unbannable.

Do you have any evidence of this, or is it an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory which should be afforded no weight?

There was a federal civil rights investigation into the officer's conduct. There was also an unsuccessful attempt to indict him before a grand jury. The shooting was reported on the front page of the New York Times on Aug. 12 2014. I don't think this example helps you.

Apple could have implemented this a long time ago but decided not to implement Bluetooth file sharing.

The United States frequently asserts extraterritorial jurisdiction. They were chasing Assange even when he hadn't stepped foot in their country.

Thanks for the detailed response, I wasn’t expecting an official reply. I can understand the reasoning.

The mitigation is good, though I did like pressing tab and having @fastmail.com autocomplete, which doesn’t happen now unless the input box loses focus (so enter alone doesn’t work). However I’ll just get used to pressing <tab> <enter>. I am nitpicking. The implementation is excellent (particularly onboarding).

What are people’s thoughts on the UIX of a sign in page initially with only a single username input?

In my view, it is a backwards step. First, I can’t do username <tab> password <enter>. Secondly, with auto fill, it requires two clicks to sign in.

I can understand it for Microsoft login where push notification login is an option. Otherwise, I’m not sure it is a great design pattern.

I would prefer a regular sign in page, with a button to sign in with passkey (which also does not require username input).

Why does anyone donate to positive social causes?

The choice of tech stack for a desktop application seems like an interesting basis to claim a company has lost touch with its core values.

How has 1Password lost sight of its core values?

Perhaps you refer to loss of local vaults? If so, they were never really a viable option for me - I needed the app syncing across multiple devices, including mobile, and doing so with a third party sync solution wasn't suitable.

>Private blockchains, such as for cross company account clearances, complex asset exchanges (planes, land) may help dislodge the rent seeking lawyers.

I've heard this one before and I am little hesitant about it.

I imagine if you want to sell planes or land, you may want the seller to make certain assurances. So a lot of what M&A lawyers do, I understand, is work out what assurances need to be obtained and how to best enforce them in the contract.

How does a private blockchain ensure enforcement of such a term? Seems like a human arbitrator may always be needed (judge or arbitrator), and an intermediary to give effect to any decision. So what advantage is there to gain from blockchain as opposed to other financial platforms?

If you make a warranty claim, it's no answer to say there are small scratches or dents. Small scratches and dents are normal and phones should be built to withstand them.
