Wide-spread adoption of passkeys can’t come soon enough.

I’d argue this is a wash. Linux is more convenient in many ways but Windows is in others.

On Google Fi the watch data “piggy backs” on the phone’s data. You still need a phone + phone plan.

Everything old is new again.

That’s because that’s exactly what they are.
