@PadreSJ Yes, maddening. I needed a heart scan and without going into details, after rescheduling 3 times and 15+ hours on the phone, I gave up trying to get insurance to pay for it. Hope I don’t die!
Turns out it's also a good day to post this one
@briankrebs What’s interesting here is that it means the power end on that cable is capable of passing data in some capacity.
@malwaretech As a Scot it was doubly galling given how much of the remain campaign had been about retaining connections to Europe. It felt like the biggest “LOLFUCKYOU” that England could possibly have sent after Scotland voted to remain, and I’ll be angry about that forever.
@jernej__s @malwaretech Microsoft’s didn’t originally back up, but does now. However if your Authenticator instance predates the sync option I don’t think it turns on.
It’s a high bar to get users to buy security keys, but I genuinely think that passwordless sign in with keys - especially as you can have a second in your file cabinet at home - is easiest for users and I encourage it whenever I can.
@mrawdon @josephaleo @cstross I think we’re right there. We’re not before, we’re not after, it’s right now, probably starting in the mid 1950s or so, and continuing until we’re a multi planetary species. Assuming that is possible, and I don’t think it’s certain that it is.
@pndc @cstross It will be interesting to see if the EU forcing Apple to allow alternate app stores will make much of a difference on this score. Though with the Android experience, my gut is it won’t change anything.
@cstross @pndc That’s unfortunate. I had been going to ask why not just use an 11” iPad Pro. DaVinci Resolve has really proved you can have full features professional software on iPad, it’s time for devs to catch up and treat the tablet as the capable powerhouse it is.
@joshuatopolsky All printers are now bad and I wonder how we got here.
@malwaretech I’m increasingly afraid the left actually means it, which would be kind of concerning, both because of their principles and because if remains electoral suicide in the US.
