I once tried to play Witcher 3 that way. Geralt was - in my version - a classic mercenary-style witcher. You pay him, he does it - no matter what. You don't pay afterwards? He takes it from you.

Short story: It doesn't work at all.

Out of curiosity: How do you start programs? If a program is clearly associated with a file by opening the file from explorer I assume, but there are programs which are not file based (web browser, games, ...). Do you maintain a folder with shortcuts or do you navigate the start menu folder using the explorer?

That's a reasonable decision. While passkeys are usually considered much safer than passwords they are not really common. It is mostly the big services (Google, Microsoft, eBay) which have implemented them. Also Bitwarden only supports them on desktop as they are currently working on mobile support. But this will change and as they follow a standard it will be no problem to log into apps with passkeys as the support widens.

It is a similar experience, but you don't need any infrastructure for it. Everything is handled by your device.

Passkeys are a form of passwordless authentication. You store them in Bitwarden like regular passwords, but when you want to access a site that supports them (e.g. eBay) instead of asking for you password and autofilling or copy pasting it from Bitwarden your Bitwarden pops up and asks you if you want to login and it just happens (if you have multiple passkeys associated with a site you can select which you want to use). That's it. No password fields which get autofilled and no password in your clipboard (history).

While I agree with you, you have to keep in mind that they were legally bound to use only stuff mentioned in the LotR books. So the alternative was to use existing characters or don't use any at all. I think it would have been awkward as well if there was hardly any connection to the books.

We were really trying hard, but there were no Android devices with FireWire 400 port available so we couldn't connect to our developer team's hardware...

No I'm not. Why would I use feet to measure a mountain's height?

I spent hours in the Papers Please menu just to hear the music...

I am wondering why it adds up to exactly 100%. There has to be some creative data handling happened with these numbers.

INWX because it's a local provider which seems decent.
