Not contradicting your post 22, but passkeys make me uneasy. Give me a password that is strong that I store in keychain and I’m in charge of my own destiny (and access to the resource). 

Loose a device or an invisible crypto passkey and you’re buggered. #luddite  ߤ禺wj;♂️ 

That's not accurate. With Apple operating systems, you can use their new feature for sharing your Passkeys with family or friends. A story on AppleInsider from 4 days ago covers this. It's called "How to Share Passwords [and Passkeys]."

Indeed, yes. And I've seen the extra button when logging into iCloud.com. But there's still something that feels wrong about trusting it. It's a perception thing. I'm all for tech, but as I say, this one just makes me uneasy for some reason. 

EDIT: It is a bit daft that Apple hides the password field and offers a passkey option when signing on iCloud.com, even if your system doesn't support it. It seems quite a big dollop of encouragement — a hard sell — for something (superior) that might not be supported.

My stereo HomePods used to be able to play/pause programmes on my Apple TV 4K no problem via Hey Siri. Now they often start playing random music (doubtless selected just for me) leaving the video paused. Geeez

Just to recap, the "radically different" testing procedure in France is actually the exact same test, but measured at 0mm instead of the 5mm used everywhere else.

Nope. "Radically different" means that France's testing disregarded international standards for dealing with the phone's orientation and location sensor, and generated a result and exposure numbers that will never, ever happen.

Unless you fall asleep on your phone, whilst it’s on the table, after a long liquid fuelled déjeuner. 📵

And even then, probably not. The head sensor will probably pick up that you've done it.

Indeed, but Mike I did get you from never, ever to probably! 😜
