What level of heat-death-of-the-internet is it when I need urgently need to write down some measurements before I forget them but my note taking app needs to tell me about it's new features and nag me for notification consent first?

FML, my TV somehow managed to suck down an unwanted mandatory update though my DNS blackhole.
Now I guess it gets put on a proper iptables ban.

TIL that some mDNS resolvers fail to correctly handle psuedo-subdomains like foo.bar.local
But that's okay, because foo,bar.local is perfectly valid.
Surely this isn't cursed. I will not regret setting up my home network this way.

Okay, three hours later I finally got a response from a human, who also ignored all the context of my question and spammed me with a link to the same inapplicable help desk article that the AI did.

Or put another way, I'm curious to what extent chatbots are objectively useless, vs. me just being uniquely situated to never have a question that they're capable of answering.

Just had to convince an #ai chatbot to let me speak to a human for my company's internal corporate it support desk.
It was, predictably, useless, just like every other automated support system I've ever interacted with.
But I earnestly wonder how much of that is because I, and people like me, independently troubleshoot and research before we try to bother a human, so we're just hitting the filtering function for people who refuse the read the instructions.

I've always felt like kind of a slacker for getting so much good information off of StackOverflow but not contributing anything back. I guess I won in the end.

I would like to know what madman is responsible for inventing images that don't get bigger when you increase the scale of a webpage.
Why is this so prevalent in web design now? It seems like a LOT of work to reduce accessibility.

Okay, apparently this was me forgetting I'd disabled Apple's built in password manager, meaning I had zero valid passkey providers on my phone, and it was (confusingly, but usefully) offering to hand-off the challenge to another device. Neat.

Okay, I thought I understood this, but then tried doing the demo on my iPhone and instead of creating a new passkey my iPhone gives me a QR code and asks me to take a picture of my iPhone with another iPhone and I'm back to being confused.

In particular, I'm weary of creating a situation where my authentication is tied to a particular platform or provider, or only works on major platforms.
e.g. Is there a way I can manage passkeys myself without Google/Apple/etc. being involved? Will any of this work in Linux? Will it work on devices that don't have biometrics? Is there proprietary magic in the mix?

Can any #ITSecurity folks point me to some useful resources on how #passkey actually works?
There are plenty of guides on how to use it, usually with a focus on one particular platform, but I can find very little implications on how it works or the implications of using it, other than broad, unqualified promises that it's safer and better.
