People of the Fediverse, stop everything. This is some true shit happening here: Two-Factor Authentication, a thread:

In French, the word for "factor" is "facteur". But it has another meaning: mailman. Yes, the one who delivers letters in your physical mailbox. For this reason, there is a funny meme in French where 2FA is in fact your mailman coming in and confirming that it's you.

Someone else will want to know this re #NintendoSwitch2 so:

1. The Switch 1/OLED HDMI cable will ‘only’ give you 4k30 max if you use it with Switch 2. Use the cable included with Switch 2 docks instead.

2. Switch 1 PSU won't power Switch 2 dock in use (but will charge Switch 2 when asleep/off).

3. Switch 2 PSU will power/charge Switch 2, dock2, Switch 1/OLED/Lite, dock1, pro controller 1 & 2 (all officially), and presumably any USB-C thing too. And it's smaller, and the cable is detachable!

-> R + G + B
