Damn I live in one of these. You guys are welcome

My mega from 8 years ago is a tank! Basically my shower speaker now and lasts over 4-6 months per charge doing that

Let me tell you son. Back in the day, headphones used to have a wire

I think y’all are talking about different things. Some sites (like google) have direct yubikey support where you plug the key into the device and what you’re talking about isn’t an issue

Other sites don’t have direct support, but allow you to use any authenticator app which is what you’re talking about with using the yubico authenticator app/key combination. Plugging it into a yubico authenticator app on any device will show the codes

Unfortunately I don’t have an answer for a way to protect those other accounts. I guess the hope is that if you lose it, it can’t be tied to your accounts, just the websites themselves

Interesting I’ll check that out!

Sounds simple and effective, I’ll try that out on one of my test keys. Thanks

Apparently they’d have to go out of their way to support it (Bluetooth has to be configured and enabled) so it will not be implemented

I mean the right is obviously much worse, straight up lies vs careful omission. Not trying to defend that since it kinda goes without saying around here.

For this tho when one of the fastest/widest margin bills to pass congress this past year is blocking foreign tech media because it might influence elections, while our domestic tech companies have already been proven to do that over and over for the past few elections it just shows neither side actually cares about misinformation, just controlling it for themselves

Both sides have pretty bad disinformation going on. Left is just more polished about it, I’m guessing because their demographic is on average much more educated. Right wing stuff you can at least immediately see right through.

Israel coverage from the main stream left has been stunning

I’m still youngish (29) but there’s been a definite shift in new hires at our tech company. I know “everyone always complains about the young generation” anecdotally so I’ll give some concrete examples (I used to work with the internal reporting people so I’ve seen the data):

-5x+ increase on cheating in onboarding tests (not hr bs but like actual stuff for the job). Everyone’s cheating. And talking to people who were in school in the pandemic with virtual classes, everyone there was cheating too so if you didn’t cheat you were falling behind

-people coming in at 10 and leaving at 2. Our company had been around for 50+ years and has a generally laid back tech vibe where you get your work done and you’re good. It’s never been an issue. So many new hires this past year were doing it that we had to institute a mandatory 9-5 which really pissed off everyone else who was getting shit done

-customer feedback. Objective ratings of the support from newer hires is lower than we’ve ever had for the tenure cohort

Each of these backs up the anecdotal feeling we have that newer hires aren’t as independent or resilient. That being said, this is a generalization and the majority of them are doing good work. Just less than before

One more thing for you to consider in canada (I commute in the upper Midwest and found this out the hard way) - freezing temperatures can reduce the range by up to almost half depending on how cold it gets.

Vancouver seems a little better near the coast but you may need to get a heating jacket or extra range to compensate

In this specific instance, anyone who stands to benefit from the status quo

I probably wouldn’t trust any free reminder site with all my most important passwords

Do you have a friend or parent who can schedule an email from their account? If you don’t trust them with your passwords you could also just encrypt the whole thing first. I did something similar to this with screen limit settings while my girlfriend had the password, and it made me never want to access them badly enough to ask her.

One other thing that’s worked well for me - a kitchen safe timer. I lock up my phone in one at work and get so much more done. You could also theoretically lock your passwords in there too (from minutes to 10 days)

Anyway, congrats on procrastinating by exploring ways on not procrastinating

FWIW I’ve got grapheneOS without google play services on a financial profile, and all of my financial apps work including: -Two credit card apps -Bank app -Three investing apps -Two direct transfer apps

One of the credit cards apps (amex) does give a “warning” on each page that it needs play services to function but if I click Ok it actually still just works.

Next step after that - AI identifying you as you drive up, looking up your income and price tolerance values from their data broker and displaying the max price it thinks you will stomach

Man that would be great but you know these companies are just gonna claim its an entirely different product to get around that

I feel like if we had an independent crowd sourced site or something to track these it would have better visibility

Super weird. Wonder what happened. Was it an active suspension or automatic via reports or something else

Ahh yea I get what you’re saying like not part of his actual name. In military contexts including recruiting they require people to go by their title and name. But it does feel forced when the other person isn’t military.

When I was in high school the Marines set up a pull up bar to see who could do the most and I won (cause I was like 135 lbs and a climber) and SSG Harris hounded me every week for the next year and a half. Even finding me in the cafeteria and sitting with us at lunch. These guys suck.
