    Android Receives FIDO2 Certification to Usher in a World Without Passwords

    I brought up 2FA because the certification was for FIDO(2). Current keys that support this are all for 2FA systems. While the article mentions passwordless transactions, the immediate effect is that you don't need a Yuibikey or whatever device you are currently using, you could use biometrics...

    Android Receives FIDO2 Certification to Usher in a World Without Passwords

    I certainly wasn't trying to imply that the other methods of implementing this should go away, just that it's convenient for me personally to have this as an option. Also, I'm curious about your statement that this wouldn't constitute 2FA. What are you basing that on?

    Android Receives FIDO2 Certification to Usher in a World Without Passwords

    It's for 2-Factor Authentication, so there will still be a password or some other authentication mechanism. I currently have a Yubikey and one of Google's Titan keys, they're both fine. I'd still rather use my phone for a second unlock with the same tokenized protections (ie, not SMS) just...

    Global Foundries May Be Sold

    Basically all advanced process nodes are 300mm, legacy process nodes are likely on smaller wafers. A few years back everyone had planned to move to 450mm, but I think that all fell apart due to the cost of having to replace all their equipment in the fabs. It could be that when fabs start...

    Bank Forgives Programmer Who Withdrew $1M in Cash after Finding ATM Flaw

    Didn't he watch Office Space? You burn the building down, go get a job you actually like, and pretend that nothing ever happened.

    Sapkowski Reportedly Settles Witcher Lawsuit

    Dude wants to go back and renegotiate a bad contract? He related to the Winklevoss twins? They should hook up and teach him about bitcoin as the future of digital cash.

    Metro Exodus Is an Epic Store Exclusive

    They should just market games like any other commodity. The developer sells keys to various stores for a set wholesale price, those stores charge whatever the hell markup they want. If Deep Silver want $40 a sale, then they should get that directly from the store, and then let the stores fight...

    Metro Exodus Is an Epic Store Exclusive

    Time to shift priority on this and the new FarCry. I'll probably buy a key from a reseller eventually; I'm not doing business with Epic directly with their store's EULA.

    The Original Ghostbusters Cast Will Return for New Movie

    ....so you make a movie that ignores the original movie, and that's great. But you make a continuation of the original movies which ignores the newer movie and that's somehow a "dick move." I'd say it's far worse to paint over the top of the franchise name you're stealing, but that's just me.

    Intel Mixes Atom, Core and 3D Stacking in Lakefield

    If they can get the scheduler right to allocate low-priority background junk to the Atom cores while leaving the important work to the beefy core, this could be a nice setup. I'd like to see this extended even into larger configurations such as having a couple of "helper" cores on an i7/i9 to...

    Combination possible or no?

    It should *work*, but your cards are going to be losing PCIe lanes to the third and fourth m2 slots. Looking at the manual for that board, the DIMM expansion slot for those drives uses 4x PCIe from the CPU, so your cards won't be x8/x8. They don't specify how that split occurs, but it's likely...

    Creative Launches Super X-Fi Amp

    I got a notice about shipping this morning as well. Just a label at this point, but things are moving.

    Blockchain Storefront RobotCache Signs on 700 Games from 22 Publishers

    I wish there were a way to short-sell on this company. Entry into a crowded and competitive marketplace: check Business plan that involves the word "blockchain": check No functional product over a year after founding: check ...seems legit.

    Where do you guys get your Linux know how?

    For what it's worth, I'd recommend the Gentoo install as well. I teach at a small University and I use this approach for Linux Server Admin classes. By the time you've partitioned a drive and set up a filesystem, gotten a working kernel, and added in a GUI and other needed applications on the...
