you know, its flippant posts like this that remind me how easy it is to dismiss posters as people.

seems sensible to me? its not amazing but i dont mind it … what doesnt work for you?

maybe go for a “its bad because of the return on investment” angle? for the amount of literal billions we have thrown at it, perhaps its ok to expect more. if you gave me a mere couple of billion, i’d make healthy lunches for school kids to foster education and health outcomes (2-4-1!)

taxes increase the more you earn, so its a sliding scale… you can still earn a boatload of money, invest multiple millions, and still not be multi-billionaire rich :)

has it? source?

sure, you can use a passkey as a primary authentication, but only “a device” or “system”(keypass/1pass etc) knows the passkey detail. with only passkey, if my passkey provider/ device is compromised then everything is lost. having single factor auth seems like a bad idea.

a password is something that I can know, so is still useful as a protection mechanism. having two factor auth should include password and passkey, which seems entirely reasonable whilst also providing an easier path forward for people used to TOTP.

in school you learn how to do 2 + 2 and understand why it is 4. its not the actual answer that is the goal, its the understanding of why it is so and how the steps are applied to get the answer. knowledge layered on knowledge happens over years of learning, but eventually you know some stuff about things that people already learnt before you. as the saying goes- this isn’t rocket surgery, people!

make it real for your dad - every chance you get, capture the price of a few things and chart it out over time… actual real evidence that you collected yourself is harder to refute than a graph produced by anonymous sources online.

feel like thats a notepad++ problem? in general, breaking it out into manageable human ingest-able chunks is A Good Idea

ferpectly cromulent!
