May not be it, but the shape reminds me of rat poop… It’s not clear enough for me to say for sure.

Well, they have a security advantage. I know Google moved over to requiring a USB MFA key for their employees a few years ago, and saw a reduction in successful phishing attacks.

I would imagine one of these fobs is cheaper than a USB key. It also can work without being plugged into a computer, which is good.

Authenticator apps are nice and all, but are not going to provide as much security as one of these. Apps live on people’s phones, and especially if it’s a personal phone, you may not want to trust its security. If it’s stolen or hacked, your multi-factor authentication just got less secure.

If you don’t want personal devices in a building as well, these are useful.

Lots of reasons these are still totally good today!

(Not saying this was your case, but generally good to check) - a finicky/wobbly USB type c connector has been a symptom of a dirty charging port several times in the past. Awful lint/dirt would get packed down into it, preventing the charger from fully inserting.

I ended up carefully and gently picking it out, though there are some delicate small contacts in there!

Anyway, good luck trying GrapheneOS! It’s been my daily driver for months and past the learning experience it’s great!

Sorry folks. Because of the banana handouts, the company is short on cash for the quarter, so there will be no bonuses or raises.

Grab the door handle too hard and it’s totaled. I’d say my car has maybe 250 health points. That’s even counting the rust and the broken plastic clips!

It’s survived being sideswiped - 150 damage, healed by using aftermarket panels and spray paint. Permanent -5 beauty debuff though.

It does have a curse (weakness to head gasket failure) though. But that hasn’t killed it yet!

I mean there are ongoing costs with any form of power generation. Obviously there’s fuel costs for most, but even other renewables have maintenance costs. You’ll also need to keep investing anyway as power demands increase over time. So newer solar installations eventually replace the old.

I’m worried I’ll slip up and do it in public. Or maybe the ceiling will be so much more comfortable that I can never go back.

Oh, and that ceiling fan kinda hurts.

I’m just speculating. It seems like, at least at the moment, anti cheat continues to be able to run as kernel. The article says Microsoft will have more to say on anti cheat “in the near future.”

It may be that they don’t crack down on the realtime applications as hard, since the number of users impacted is so much smaller. Antivirus and anti cheat are on many millions of machines and are usable by the average consumer. Specialty software may be considered differently, I. E. “You know what you’re doing and what risks you’re assuming” for the more technical customer.

It will be interesting to see where they go with this.

An interesting question. Assuming they’re only targeting security/antivirus products at the moment (see the discussion regarding anti-cheat) it may be that those applications get a pass for now.

I had a lecture for an aerospace class a few years back. What the professor said is “what is a perfect gas?” - what the caption software produced is “what is a prefect ass?”

Captioning is hard, man…

Well, it’s important. If you’re injured by a direct blast effect of a nuclear weapon, insurance needs a way to quickly reject that! After all, you didn’t get nuclear coverage on your plan!

It’s serious business. The paperwork is a nightmare though. The rich farmers have lawyers to file the appropriate writs, petitions, and incantations to stay the cannibalism. For those without the money, going before Ba-Kok can be intimidating and challenging.

All good until the printer comes after you. Printers are haunted normally, so I imagine under this scenario they’d be even more malevolent…
