Yeah, That's hard to believe unless the 2FA system was compromised - i.e. more likely disabled.

I saw a few reports they were asking for compromised users to contact them, and it turned out no one actually had 2FA turned on as they said they did.

But I've been away from a screen for a few days, so we'll see what my searches today find me.

They have other security features as well.

There was a recent trojan going around that uses TeamViewer to do the dirty work. I wonder if that is what caused the issue.

But, no need to talk about that here since I've already discussed that in the other thread. (Which I have not seen any updates on.)

@s.hackleman said in Notebook 9 versus the Macbook Air:

Touch is gross IMHO. I don't understand why you would spend money on a High Def screen... then fingerprint the hell out of it trying to use it.

Exactly how I feel.

@scottalanmiller said in FBI Raids Security Researcher for Exposing HIPAA Violation:

And, of course, Texas, too.

Everything's bigger in Texas. Including the bad?

Never saw that. And it doesn't seem to make any sense. And certainly doesn't make me want to use Linux. What a freaking weird ad.

Hope that we see NVidia running with this to make an awesome follow up to their rocking X1 processor.

Cool tool, I have no used this one before.

So I guess I should have specified in the other thread. I use KeePassx and it's updated through yum. And the Android version of Keepass2Android (the one I use) isn't maintained by the same people.

A better point would be, they bought Nokia for $7.3 Billion, and wrote it all down, and recently paid out over 930 Million more in layoffs for the remaining Nokia staff.

This $1 Billion for cars would be nothing!

Sigh - again - NOT HACKED!

those accounts were compromised because the account owner didn't follow best practice and use a different password for each site, and a lesser site was compromised.

Mostly popular with kids I believe, where not keeping a record is considered a key selling point.

Yes, it's purely for kids. It's the hipster middle schooler messaging platform. For people that any record of what they said would be embarrassing.

I think that these kids are going to seriously regret Snapchat when they get older. Taking all the effort to record their lives... and burning it as they went. It's the scorched earth policy for your own life.

I'm sure they will be a little unhappy to not have all the cool photos - and those who do have a half a brain are taking a second picture in a more permanent app - but really, do you think most tweens/teens want to keep that crap around forever? Don't you think that they will migrate away from snapchat as they get older/wiser and realize the childness that is snapchat? But I think it could be fun/etc for the ability to blast something for a short time. But what crazy teens don't realize is that anyone can make it permanent by capturing the screen on the phone.

Clearly they don't WANT to keep it around, but they will want to HAVE kept it once they realize that they literally threw away their childhoods.

Really? that ass picture you talked about? they will want that in 10-20-30 years? What I don't know - are kids ONLY using snapchat, and never taking any more permanent pictures? or, are they smart enough to use both?

Well I have no idea, but Snapchat users tend to be of the "only Snapchat" from what I can tell. And for obvious reasons... if you know what you are doing you'd never use Snapchat, if you are using Snapchat, chances are you are not thinking through the consequences. So the use of it nearly always creates the later situation.

And ARE you taking pictures of your butt? I'm not aware of that being a big problem. It's all the selfies and parties and high school graduations and such. And, in case you've never tried to do something like this, if you are taking pictures of an event for Snapchat, the opportunities to take those pics for something else are likely lost. Things rarely happen over and over for you to "capture the moment" again. So using Snapchat throws all of that stuff away.

@Nic said in GOG Connect Has Released: Connect GOG to Steam:

@scottalanmiller no, on Steam. But you'd figure more than a dozen would match up.

Oh okay. I'm like 1,400 on Steam and 300 on GOG and only maybe a dozen matched up.

@Nic said in Looking for a new TV here are the top picks under 2000:

I've always had good luck with Samsung TVs and monitors.

That's what I went with, the new 8000 series model.

@DustinB3403 said in Amazon services are experiencing a major interruption of service:

Decentralized would be multiple co-lo's housing your equipment I'd think.

Mutiple locations, one way or another. NTG is fully decrentralized... users are not centralized and support systems are not centralized. We use multiple datacenters from multiple vendors. This has downsides too, of course.

Yeah, if it took the laundry and folded it, now you've got a marketable product. Stand there and feed items into it in a proper orientation? Might as well have just folded it yourself and saved time, electricity, money, and a little sanity. Maybe the true intent of this device is to get lazy people to quit crabbing about folding laundry. Once they see this thing, they can't help but admit just doing it makes more sense and takes less effort.

You're all late to the party!

With @Carnival-Boy with this we use a Henry but would like a coreless dyson 😄

(Need to stop looking at this site as it reminds of jobs I need to do - this one reminds me I need to look at "serving" the henry and giving it a good clean out)

@DustinB3403 said in Going to Rio for the Olympics - Pay for stuff with the ring on your finger:

@scottalanmiller At the moment this is only the people actually competing that are going to have this.

Not the general public.

Oh I know, and they can have their fingers chopped off if they want. It's just a really goofy way to showcase a payment technology in my opinion. Things I don't want to wear: rings. People I don't want to be associated with: amateur athletes. Ways I don't want to make payments: things that get my body parts chopped off.

Basically while this COULD be used to help the driver, this is just to collect data in a way that is not as powerful as the old OnStar system that GM has.
