It is conundrum that passkeys were designed to help the majority as they are frictionless (like passwordmanagers etc) but fail in reality.

Even those that have 2 devices they don't have them all the time.

Another overlooked issue is that some banks etc don't allow for 2 devices as login or 2FA. Even if it allowed one needs to keep the spare device always updated. Either Govt needs to build a common API that one can use directly through google pay or apple pay - so that only one app is needed to be kept up to date.

to be honest, I wouldn't mind if google/Apple can take all my private data and passkeys hold them - but at least then if I lose the phone - and I show my ID they should allow me to setup my new phone. But that is also not possible. (I am discounting the awful AI bans)

Perhaps an exception. 99% this does not happen.

Detaining does not happen in US but they just get shot by LEO.

A lot of black community will tell you they are improperly taken/shot in for trivial infractions.

Tell me one instance in RU whereLEO just shoot unarmed civilian for minor road traffic stop.

David Miranda was detained at Heathrow:

While I understand US is better than RU,CN they are not that far ahead.

Nit pick is OK but defending CIA is hopeless. Ask amnesty they will tell you more cases.

In principle true

- Having 1 password for Google account + one passphrase may be great - in a sense holy grail

But... as some one doing CS for many people

- People just dont focus or show importance to these things

- People will forget the passphrase and lose data

- The importance to the data that was lost is MORE painful than the 'loss' of privacy

- So many people incl. my spouse live totally in phones (and work laptop). With the advent of large screen phablets (a.k.a - all new phones) - one does not even need any tablet.

- Sure, your advice is logically correct but reality for most is that people still treat password or PIN as a PITA.

I sincerely wish some country will pass strong privacy laws + have a connection between google/apple account with national ID of some type so that people can validate and reset password of SV behemoths. But again - strong privacy laws so that neither govt not SV misuses it.

- stupidly to prevent username saving - decrease credential stuffing

Most do SaaS or dynamodb or lambda type app engine. Once it grows significantly then administration will need oracle etc. But hey these can be done by external contractors

And it gives the feeling anytime one can self/diy. Like kubernetes. Most can't aa it is too complex(and unnecessary) but gives a safety feeling.

Whether they conspire or it is accidental due to thinness from customers

- it has consequences

- no one says- well pollution is not due to oil companies but customer obsession towards buying cars etc

- one tries to push better standards, reduce pollution etc

major laptop brand is easy for the end user to repair

Dell latitudes

Again if apple has a tiny market share like LVMH then ok. But they are close to 50%.

If omega/rolex throws away EXPENSIVE A all is ok. Just 100 watches are made for 50K each.

Apple sells millions. Do you know when apple tried to brick all the phones with 3rd party fingerprint reader? That is terrible for environment.

Again if I look at your profile you live in SE Asia. These places will be affected by environment and cause high population deaths.

Again,ifixit only says allow others to make parts.

The likes of you can buy applecare and trash env. Lets others fix your old device.

Trinitron was an example. A lot of tv are repaired and sold in East europe, Asia.

It is negligible because repair is difficult.

For your previous comment. Do I assume you are a genX?

- one can give tons of reasons for non-repairable devices but the planet has only so much resources. Eventually Apple will enter the group of terrible companies like exxon/BP. Sure Tim Cook will be having the billions but if more companies like tesla is following apple's strategy if vertical integration

Either govts will interfere

Or

Planet is trashed.

- TV, phones have always been repairable. Even recently some one posted repairing a sony Trinitron.

- even if apple doesnot want to do the repair of a chip, capacitor they can make them available

- or not sue if 3rd party does it

- Louis rossman can replace a failed charging chip from an old logic/mother board. He/others like ifixit only tell apple to supply it or allow others to manufacture.

Schools are ok. IT not ok. There is a mishmash of I hate/love google mantra. Some want to do local but most no have the skillset to run servers ZFS etc. Either some idiot in administration then does outsourcing to remote MSP that support Windows.

Lets say one has a debian server with 256 cores and 100 users. If an user wants to run fedora it makes it possible. Not just build and run once but keep running for 365days and in that fedora give 200 user accounts or 200 webservers. It is possible with lxd. I know some hosting companies use it. Mix and match. All these run as non root. You can do ram/cpu/bandwidth/io controls everywhere.

I would avoid using dev mode for production. If you press <space> during boot all is lost. + no guarantee that update will not fail.

But android is sandboxed

The equivalent is linux/crostini

It is also popular in some parts of Scandinavia.

Why you ask?

As a school teacher I can see

- for ages no proper trained IT staff in schools

- I know better linux, rpi than them. Heck they read IT news from cnet.com

- managing+ security in local servers is very difficult

- money for space

- google edu is/was almost free

- HIPAA equivalent rules

- though everyone will talk and tell linux, libreoffice

- the polishing and consistency of chromeos is great (for cheap $150 laptop)

- ideally linux foundation or some one should have made a 'school appliance' but ...
