  • I own a Magic Mouse. It sits in a drawer.

    For most stuff, I use a trackpad. Except on my Thinkpad, which I use with a Mighty Mouse, because non-Apple trackpads are so annoying.

    In my opinion, the Mighty Mouse was one of the best mice Apple ever made. Four click zones and a trackball, and an optical tracking system. If I’m using a mouse, a cable is not an issue. And despite me having backup Mighty Mice in case mine fails, I’ve been using my current one with no issues since 2008.





  • OAuth doesn’t require this. However, there are third party OAuth providers (cough MS) who already have the back end set up, so customers like Stripe just piggyback on the existing servers.

    So in this case, your server and Stripe’s server are the users, and the third party is the OAuth provider that authenticates them to each other.

    Seems to me Passkeys/Fido2 would make way more sense for this setup, but then Stripe would have to manage the technology stack themselves, and follow all the PCI DSS rules for storing/managing the information (because they do credit card processing).









  • Yeah, but Nessie has been folklore for longer than such an animal could possibly have lived. I have great great great great grandparents from the area, and it was older than them. People have been faking photographs since the photograph was invented. Before that people painted pictures or did charcoal sketches.

    My point was that the guy didn’t start anything; he just continued the tradition.
