I assume a big part of Apexā magic will come from the community. Though Iām sure there will be how tos for basic stuff like setting up OTP at release.
Since itās a fidesmo enabled card using off the shelf applets is easy. You literally pick the applet to install in the fidesmo app and hold your phone over your Apex, wait a second, done.
Then in the case of OTP you use yubico Authenticator. Youād go to e.g. GitHub settings activate OTP, scan that QR code and again tap your Apex. After then whenever you login to GitHub you open this Authenticator app, tap your Apex and enter the generated OTP as second factor.

I still get conniptions whenever someone uses āOTPā in a positive light, because Iām a bare metal programming kinda person so OTP means āone-time programmableā bits, which can brick things. Whereas youāre a abstract software kinda person so OTP means āone-time passwordā which is a good thing

trueā¦ should be TOTP technically speakingā¦ though HOTP also appliesā¦ though nobody uses that because it sucks.
Anyone else seen the Steam Deck by Valve? Seems like a pretty good deal for the pure hardware, $399 for the base model for a handheld Linux gaming PC. Thereās 2 other storage tiers, 256GB and 512. The 256GB and 512 models both have NVMe for storage, with the 512GB having the fastest SSD.
Apparently the new SteamOS is just Arch-based.
Really curious what else will be able to be done with it, since itās just a handheld full PC. It just uses type-C USB, completely open. Can use standard docking stations, or just plug right into it.
They opened pre-order reservations today for $5, I threw down a reservation for the 512GB model. Supposed to release either December of this year, or Q1 2022. Figure that gives me more than enough time to save.
Canāt wait to use my proxmark with it

That was one of my first thoughts too! 
I love how itās a PC and not just a console. I was thinking of getting a Switch soon but I will definitely be grabbing one of these instead. Going for the 256GB model. I figured Iād just get the 64GB version and tack on a decent sized micro SD card for added storage, but then load times would probably be abysmal.
Absolutely stoked to play (almost) all my PC games on my couch and save my back some trouble

Yeah, the 64GB is just too small. I really like that you could also just plug in a type C SSD or HDD when itās docked, and instantly have more storage.
Hell, my friend brought up the idea of trying to do network storage via NFS, curious if that would work (especially with AC wifi).
It seems like a way better deal than the switch, especially with the new 64GB OLED switch only being $50 less than the base model Steam Deck. I actually sold my switch a few months ago, I just wasnāt getting much use out of it. It didnāt have a lot of my type of games, but with this Iāll be able to play my 400 game steam library that Iāve built up over the last 10+ years, along with any other Linux games I have.
Canāt wait for mobile Factorio and KSP

Yep Factorio and Oxygen Not Included are gonna be much easier to play for hours and hours while laying down
Itās all the portability I wanted from the Switch but with the added bonus of playing the games that I actually enjoy instead of saying āhmm yes I guess I will get my ass kicked in Super Smash Bros again tonightā
