Can't be phished. With a normal password manager, user error could lead to copying credentials and pasting out to a phishing page which is irrelevant with passkeys

Autofill is a good point but it doesn't help your parent who thinks the thing is broken so they have to do it manually, rather than realising it's a phish


It's better for the users for sure, but they're not owed anything for a free service. For the owner of the service, surely it just serves to add more complexity?


It also warns if you try to fill on a site that isn't linked (says something like "1Password can't verify that reaibank.com should use your realbank.com login"


There is a web version made by someone else here: https://taylors-version.com/


Wow I had no idea this exists! Thanks for sharing


Why does the demo have a folder of just girls?


This is an MVP. The guys folder will be added later.


Because it’s about *single* files


Sex sells, as always.


Why not?


wild guess: the person who make this likes girls


To drive engagement through people commenting on it



It drives curosity for sure.


Apparently I've reached the maximum number of free articles despite never visiting this site before


Same here. I used the 12 foot ladder, it works.

I just opened the article in a different tab. Something is amiss with their paywall implementation.


I got halfway through and a newsletter signup modal interrupted me and wouldn't close. Good thing I know CSS or I couldn't have finished reading.

So much for being anti-mimetic and bucking the trends.


Maybe they’re going by Referer? Which sounds utterly silly.


How is this relevant?


> There is really no reason to use your real name and address for anything online

> wrong names are rejected

How isn't it? Unless you're saying 'there is really no reason to participate in e-commerce', which is... true I suppose...


No, I also thought that this was somewhat irrelevant ...

None of my e-commerce involves bank transfers. I would decline it as a payment method. I have no idea why anyone would be doing this.


Maybe the comment changed or I just skim-read it, but I'm not sure I understand now.

Anyway, in the UK billing name & postcode are/can be verified on card payments.

Bank transfers no basically never happen, too manual; exception being something like (Transfer)Wise - you set it up online, then transfer to their account in local currency, they transfer out of their account in another country to your intended recipient account in that local currency.

Direct Debits are a common ~'bank transfer' but recurring way of paying for utilities & subscriptions here though. Can (and these days normally would) be set up online.


It's probably very dependent on your local e-commerce environment.

Here in Germany I linked my bank account to Amazon, PayPal, local mobility service providers, etc.

Maybe 90% of my online transactions are bank transfers, 10% are debit card transfers.



lol. didn't he have enough time while he was actually CEO? feels like quite a cop out


The only place I can find the quote is in an article from The Verge from a couple of weeks ago: https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/10/22667069/fortnite-ios-ret...


Thanks, that article links to an earlier one https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/10/22666146/apple-epic-korea... which says:

Apple, however, maintains it’s under no obligation to let Epic in the App Store at all. “As we’ve said all along, we would welcome Epic’s return to the App Store if they agree to play by the same rules as everyone else,” an Apple spokesperson says in a statement to The Verge. “Epic has admitted to breach of contract and as of now, there’s no legitimate basis for the reinstatement of their developer account.”

So it sounds like it was in a statement to The Verge that was split into parts for the article and Tim is cherry picking the part that suits Epic. Seems impossible for Epic to play by the same rules as everyone else and be allowed back in since they broke more rules than the one that has now been changed. They really should have tried a legal approach first before sneaking their app store in.
