Who said that? That's not the limiting factor. Also, smartwatches have crappy processors.

Supposedly, what's hard is making a phone with good performance and battery life that's also small.

It was a rhetorical question. I think they meant that adding cloud backup wasn't a very significant upgrade. That co fuses me because there's very little a 2fa app needs to do. So I don't get what else they would expect to be added.

?? What's that supposed to mean?

Authenticator no longer works like that. You can now restore all of your 2fa codes by logging in to you google account and it's been that way for almost 2 years now.

It's extremely easy to use and set up. You can also use it for free for up to 5 users I think and it has a lot more configuration options than Tailscale. In my case I didn't have to change anything at all though, it was basically plug n play.

Not sure about what you mean by "business oriented". It seemed pretty simple to me.

I prefer ZeroTier but both work.

That's no longer an exclusive, there's a PC remake. You could've picked a better example.

Maybe, just maybe, the context in which you use regex isn't the same as everyone elses. But hey, who am I to deny you the disservice of thinking you're the center of the world?

Maybe for your very specific use case that's true. However, other use cases exist and for many of those RegEx is the better option.

You're discussing a completely different use case from what I said. RegEx can be increidbly useful but it's not always the only/best option.

Not even close. Sometimes you can have a large text file where you need to do a find replace with a pattern. For example, in the translation world this can be a common occurrence for translation files (.xliff) or translation memories (.tmx).

There's a reason why this is widely used and it's not because everyone else but you is dumb.

Hard disagree. The function regex serves in programs like Notepad++ can't be easily replaced by "writing it out in code". With a very small number of characters you can get complex search patterns and capturing groups. It's hard to read but incredibly useful.
