I see Hunter Biden, this and that all over the news. Am I the only one who has absolutely no interest in his trial? #Poll

@SirBoostALot
My view as well

Jerry, to Netflix
@Jerry@hear-me.social avatar

Normally, I skip shows on Netflix that have been canceled after their 1st or 2nd season because I just don't want to get into them and end up frustrated. Or, to put it another way, I rarely watch a new Netflix series. I wait for the 3rd season, and then I catch up.

But, I was really intrigued by what I saw about #Sense8 in the previews and ended up binge-watching it.

Damn Netflix for canceling it! I think it's one of their best.

This is my biggest annoyance with #Netflix. They cancel great shows in the middle.

    @Teri_Kanefield I'm so sorry you get hatred like this. You don't deserve it. I read every word you write. I get really angry when people, stupid people, attack you. :(

    Windows 11's upcoming "Recall" feature has a policy setting that empowers IT depts to disable the feature across devices. If disabled:
    ✅ Any existing Recall snapshots are deleted
    ✅ Users are prevented from manually enabling the Recall feature

    @nek I'm in no way an expert, but my issue with Passkeys is the unreliability in the implementation and that they're saved in silo vaults.

    Twice now, I tried using a Passkey on my Pixel, only to get the message that "something went wrong." This is scary. It's a good thing I don't depend only on passkeys then. A fallback is necessary.

    I think keeping passkeys in Google or Apple, etc., is a mistake, as they don't share them. I use 1Password for cross-platform availability, but now must have it installed wherever I want to use it.

    Hence, I'm forced to fall back to TOTP and physical keys (Yubico).

    Physical keys can get lost or forgotten, so they are not ideal. TOTP is said not to be as secure as passkeys and physical keys but are needed for a reliable fallback.

    TOTP then is the weakest link in my security chain, hence passkeys, for me, are not the answer since given my setup, regardless of my using them, I'm no more secure than I am just using TOTP.

    What do you think?

    @nek Seems Google didn't do enough testing, if I'm not the only one getting errors. I hope nobody decides to trust their authentication to only Google passkeys then...

    When I lived in England, in a meeting between people in the US and England, I had to explain that "tabling" something has the opposite meaning in both countries, and so I ended the comedic discussion that was going on. The other 4 words/phrases mentioned in the article, I wasn't aware of.

    Interesting that the article doesn't mention "fanny" as being an opposite as well, at least in its physical location on the human body.

    It took an hour to read just the replies to my photo-post from yesterday, and I still don't have the time to reply to all of you. So sorry.

    Time to get ready for the drive.

    Thank you ALL for the good wishes. I love reading every post.

    Off to Oregon. I'll post alerts as they come in, when I can.

    I never buy anything made by random Chinese companies any longer. There's a reason their stuff is so inexpensive. And, yeah, I had to be burned a few times before I learned this.
