Yeah, the bank that manages my mortgage has mandatory text message 2fa if you’re on a new computer. And something about Firefox keeps it from remembering my machine, so I have to do the text message 2fa everytime.

Right now it’s working fine, but they had a period of a few months where the text messages would take 10-15min to send after you tried to log in, and the log in attempt would expire after 5 min, making it impossible to log in. All of which could be avoided if they would let me use a 2fa app.

Now the question is who did it better, 8-bit guy or Technology Connections?

A few reasons:

• I feel like any other major company with Steam’s marketshare would be far less consumer friendly than steam.

• Steam funnels a lot of money into Linux, and Linux is very popular on Lemmy. If you use Linux, you are benefiting from Steam’s success.

• Steam is just nice to use, and has good deals. It’s nice to have my games in one place, and I don’t know if any other storefront with as many nice user benefiting features as steam.

I don’t think the title translated correctly for me.

The victim had no history of exposure to poultry or animals, the WHO said.

However, they had multiple underlying health conditions and had been in bed for three weeks for other reasons before the bird flu symptoms took hold.

Before the H5N2 case was confirmed, it was unclear whether it could infect humans.

Avian flu viruses generally do not infect humans - but there are rare cases of it.

I know there was an issue not long ago where Sopuli had to defederate from kbin for awhile. Kbin had a federation bug that was endlessly spamming federation updates and it was causing Sopuli to fall behind on federation.

Mbin had a fix up pretty quick, but several attempts to reach the Kbin admin all failed.

I would hope so, but Asus has been doing things like this for at least 10+ years which makes me doubtful that anything will change soon.

There’s also the issue of being fingerprinted. An unfortunate truth of the internet is that most browser/device set ups are unique, and it makes it possible to track people that way. Having features like “do not track” turned on actually make you more unique, making it easier to confidently identify you when you visit sites. It probably doesn’t matter though, in my experience basically every web browser/computer is recognized as a unique user now (with maybe the exception of using a popular mobile browser on a popular mobile phone model).

Anyways, visit https://www.amiunique.org/ to have your hopes of being anonymous crushed.

Trying to refund through Asus will result in them dragging their feet, being as unhelpful as possible, or claiming you damaged the product.

I maybe didn’t use the best example, but it was less about people actually being religious and instead if they used any sort of popular phrasing that had any slight religious element they would try to turn it into a religion debate.

A better example is that someone might post a polish word, someone else would reply “bless you” acting like the polish word was a sneeze sound, and then the 14-year-old atheists would descend and start a debate.

Reddit in 2010-2012 also had a lot of really insufferable atheists everywhere. Someone would say something like “thank god everyone’s ok” and get downvoted while a bunch of people replied stuff like “if god is responsible for them being ok, then he would also be responsible for the crash and shouldn’t be thanked at all”.

Yeah. They probably work fine on the deck too, but they can only verify so many games and those are low priority.

This is just steam titles in the verified program. Protondb has 21k steam games that are reported working, and there’s also non-steam games and emulation.

Who domesticated who

Cats are only considered partially domesticated, and they basically domesticated themselves. They naturally decided to live near human settlements to prey on mice/etc that went after people’s grain.

In comparison, dogs are conaidered fully domesticated, and we’re domesticated by humans.

This kind of thing is funniest when you imagine the guy driving home and being completely bewildered about why he’s on a billboard.

I read a similar story recently about a guy targeting his roommate with highly specific Facebook ads, let me.see if I can find it.

Edit: Here it is, it’s a fun read

Ok, so this is a Lemmy post that links a r/ailess post that links a r/privacy post that finally links this Ars Technica article.

Why not just link the Ars Technica article to begin with? I don’t think there’s any good reason to link all these separate chained discussions.

Ones like this were really easy to win. You drop the nickel or quarter* straight onto the second to last platform. A quick twist will usually work, but if you don’t mind dirty looks from the employees you could tap on the side of the top twist knob to “nudge” the coin. This is easy to control and makes it trivial to win, but takes a little time and makes an annoying rattling sound.

*My experience is that dimes are too light weight, which makes them very unreliable for winning consistently.

Nah, the water ones had a lot of random chance, the non water ones could be won 75% of the time.

There are actual reasons for people to open carry a gun. Main goal is to normalize it. Where I live a lot of people open carry, and it’s no big deal, no one really cares or notices.

My neighbor moved here from California though, and she was initially terrified every time she saw someone carrying a gun here. But after awhile she got used to it as well. I haven’t asked her what her current opinion is on guns, but I know she went from terrified to not caring, which would be considered a positive change from the people who are open carrying around town.

That said, I don’t get the impression that most people who open carry are doing it for that reason, usually seems like it more because they want to show off.
