Lesenswerter Artikel in der #iX zu der angekündigten Memory-Funktion von #ChatGPT. Die soll persönliche Informationen der Nutzer*innen aus allen geführten Chats miteinander verknüpfen.
Wir sollten uns alle überlegen, ob wir #ChatGPT mit unseren persönlichen und geschäftlichen Daten weiter füttern sollten, wenn wir schnell einen Text übersetzen oder eine Bewerbung schreiben lassen.
Schlauer wäre es, jetzt schon Alternativen zu nutzen und Datenschützer einzuschalten /ah

Wow, the comments on my article on #Passkeys in the German #iX/#heise has shown me a lot of misconceptions people have:
No, you don't need to synchronize Passkeys
nor do you need to use Google/MS/Apple
nor is storing an encrypted binary blob a big danger
Passkeys aren't just autofilled #passwords: they use challenge auth, not shared secrets!
#TOTP 's aren't better because they're a real #2FA. Actually they suck against #phishing.
A secure enclave can still be used, but it's mostly used for decrypting the keychain, not storing it
You can still use #YubiKey 's, either with discoverable creds (uses 1 slot each) or non-discoverable creds (1 slot for all Passkeys)
Generally, I think the term 2FA is misleading. Not all 2FA is created equal. One could even argue that Passkeys are "less" 2FA than Password+TOTP -- and yet, it's more secure in most attacks because it can't be phished.
A lot of people seem to think that the more annoying and difficult to use a technology is, the more secure it is. We have the same problem with passwords and their complexity. We humans suck at guessing how secure something is through intuition.

I was recently gifted some IX-Nikkor lenses. These are lenses designed for a unpopular film camera system Nikon produced.
(of which I am only aware Nikon only released one camera for, the Pronea S) which used a not very popular film format (APS).
The lenses are incompatible with normal mounts; however not wanting these to go to waste, I now have a adapted lens, with working aperature, auto focus, metering... Pictured above. 💜
