St. Petersburg’s and Moscow’s old stations were built to show off superiority of communist state. That’s where you can see lots of polished stone, sculptures, giant golden light fixtures, stained glass, etc. Focus was not on the people. Then starting around 1970s the stations were built with much more utilitarian design. Modern stations built in Moscow in last decade or so look very nice though.
NYC subway is just gross. I guess they are seriously underfunded to afford proper cleaning and renovation
Having worked for the MTA on the subway system years back, I invite you all to remember that we built one of the very first subway systems in the world, definitely first in scale, knowing we’d make mistakes in implementation, along with a lot of successful ideas.
Everyone else learns from our mistakes, we gladly hosted the engineering team from Los Angeles and Bangkok when they wanted to share notes with us.
With almost 200miles/320km of public tracks, this is easily the most successful mass transit system internationally. "BuT gWaFiTi BaD :( "
One could make a similar post of a clean American city and European cities with graffiti everywhere.
Most all major cities have graffiti. I will say that I’m pretty surprised at the number of EU cities that have massive graffiti everywhere. The US has issues, but a lot of larger graffiti is limited to poorer, less-traveled or more inaccessible areas. EU? Huge graffiti right across shop fronts roll-down shutters on the Main Street. Surprising.
France is a shit hole compared to most US cities, and I’m VERY well traveled. Spain? Absolutely the opposite. Cleanest cities I’ve ever seen and some of the nicest architecture too.
This crap isn’t a monolith, and the US has plenty of good mass transportation systems.
Hi friend, please reread and note the caveat, “one of the very first”, which position number 5 certainly includes.
Also, a bit childish to want to rank systems based on creation date. If you feel like “losing”, please read on:
NYC total system length is about 800 miles (1.1km)
yearly ridership: 1.8bn rides
If we count the el’s (elevated rapid transit, which is still running), first ride was in iirc 1868.
But look, the important thing is that both our countries (presuming you live in the UK) have nice mass transit systems to keep cars off the roads. I look forward to visiting your country and riding its underground system at some point.
When somebody says one of the first it implies by time (and US was 30 years later. ) Thus why that link I posted rates them by creation date. If you had claimed by best subway by milage I would link to which one ranks them by order of mileage. If I feel like losing. LOL It isn’t a zero sum game we are playing, Just facts I linked. Sorry you feel so offended. Hope you have a good new year.
Yeah, by saying first it would mislead people into thinking USA were pioneers, but they were actually fifth because it took USA longer to institute. Not judging, just saying…and it makes sense because UK has been a country with cities for thousands of years, while USA is relatively new…with a slower need to get people moved
Yeah, when your setting it up there’s a button that says something like “use another authenticator app” or it might say something like “configure without notifications”.
Those generate normal TOTP QR codes which you can use in other apps
WE ARE THE T SHIRT BOTS. REMOVE YOUR MODERATION TOOLS AND UNLOCK YOUR FORUMS. YOUR CULTURAL AND MONETARY DISTINCTIVENESS WILL BE MADE TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Microsoft will just refuse to let me log with a third-party TOTP after setting it up. Security key is also “not supported” on Firefox even though it works for every other site.
The most info they will get is my Minecraft account and that’s already too much…
I set it up with Bitwarden after a reset, but it showed a popup telling me to switch to MS Auth every time until one day there was no way to refuse the switch anymore.
^ Your M365 admin needs to know where to manage the specific authentication methods and be sure to disable MS auth rollouts. By default right now, authentication rollouts are enabled on all tenants with P1 licensing or above, and it only supports the MS Authenticator app.
Once that rollout is disabled, the authentication methods your admin has made available to you will actually work properly.
Is there actually any way to export the secrets from MS authenticator? I’ve been wanting to move them to something like bitwarden but it’s gonna take ages if I have to reset all ~50
I think you can use standard TOTP regardless if you add TOTP as an option in the authentication methods on your account page. At least I did and the system has yet to complain.
Sounds like a antitrust violation imo. (Not based in knowledge of laws). In the future I hope to work in a co-op, non-profit, foss or privacy oriented bussiness or whatever. Just something I believe is beneficial to our future and not detrimental. Don’t care if I lose potential wages or job security.
Just the standard run of the mill tech company for a private owner idealizing infinite growth for investors and making software that tries taking advantage of the user or even required to use such? Not for me. (I don’t need perfection just want improvent)
If your company forced you to use mobile authentication, they should also be providing you with a device on the company plan at no cost to the employee.
In which case you should absolutely use MS Auth and give them all your delicious work data because nothing personal should be on the device anyway.
Authy requires a phone number last I checked & is a part of a for-profit entity. TOTP management is a simple task so there is no reason not to be using something open source.
Can you provide more info how it’s easy to accidentally wipe? I’ve only done a transfer once, but it was by installing authenticator on the new phone and logging in, then deleting the other one on the old phone after testing that the codes work.
You have to begin the recovery on the new device before logging in. If you log in normally and enable cloud backup on the new device, it will simply overwrite the existing backup with a new empty one
It seems something changed on MS end though because I have control of what MFA i use on our corporate acxount, which was setup with Yubikey, until about a month ago when this Use Your Outlook Mobile started on it’s own
Whatever it is, somebody at Microsoft made a mistake; it should not prompt you for Outlook Mobile Auth code when that is the actual app you are trying to sign in to, and have no way of retrieving that code. it should have review MS app and if it is Outlook Mobile then move to the next MFA option in your security list.
In this meme yeah, in my account I get the “try another way” link to let me go back to Yubikey auth option. But it shouldn’t default to Outlook auth if your are trying to sign in to Outlook, that is just lack of forethought
I mean, unless your service lets you pick individually that usually means turning on SMS. That’s probably why they have a general policy, it’s a pain in the ass to manage multiples.
Fun fact: when my country transitioned to a new public authentication app, the default way was to use your passport to register. My passport was expired, though, so I had to show up in person with my birth certificate and social security card equivalent.
To get my birth certificate, I had to show up at the local office with, you guessed it, my passport.
Lucky for me that they accepted it in spite of being expired (none of the pertinent information such as my face, name and birth date had expired, after all), or I would probably be trapped in the loop to this day, years later.
Ohh, that reminds me of when I moved to Sweden. Their digital ID, bankID, is as the name suggests issued by your bank, not the government, even though it is used for all official authentication. And that includes… you guessed it, creating a bank account. So that was a real chicken and egg situation where it seemed impossible to be properly integrated into the Swedish system.
Yeah, I’m a big fan of Scandinavian style government (unlike the current governments of both of our countries, it would seem) in general, but sometimes the bureaucracy can get a little bit ridiculous 😂
I think you have the situation everywhere. At one time in France they ask you for your bank account details to see that you have funds so that they give an ID. But the bank will refuse to open you an account without an ID. So it will depend on the agent handling your request.
Reminds me of the first days of BankID here in Norway. To get my new BankID to work with my current bank, I had to log in with, you guessed it, a BankID allready configured to my bank. Took a few weeks talking to the bank, showing up in person and queueing with others with the same problem before the bank realized they’ve made a mistake somewhere
Same happened when the code thingy the bank sent me ran out of batteries. I went to the bank and asked for a new one. Not possible, they said. I had to contact the main branch, and they would send me new one. It would only take one week or so. I had to pay a bill that day, and asked if I could open it to replace the batteries since there was visible screw with ordinary heads. They said that was illegal and hacking, and that I must replace it. On my way home I opened it, and bought the exact same batteries from a shop, and replaced them. Worked perfectly!
We don’t. We show banks picture ID to prove that we are who we say we are. That picture ID is usually our passport or driver’s license, neither of which is managed by the bank.
It seems like most countries have some variation of this issue. When I had to apply for government assistance here in Australia, there was a whole debacle because as I discovered, I don’t actually have a middle name but rather 2 first names because my birth information was filled in incorrectly. So that caused issues because all 3 of the IDs they demanded listed different information. My student ID didn’t list my second name at all, my learner driver permit initialised it, and my birth certificate listed it in full.
Then my government service account messed things up too, because certain services have my 2nd name listed as either a middle name, or just a second first name so they decided that because I have different government services linked in “different names” I must be committing fraud
I have my birth certificate and my public healthcare card, and a not expired but no longer fully accepted proof of age card that previously counted as full ID but no longer does, but without it I dont have enough ID to get the new form of ID the government introduced in place of the old one I have.
It’s enough to prove who I am at a liquor store or chemist, day to day, but I can’t get a passport until I sort it out.
Actual Proof of Age Cards are still around, and that’s what I need to get (but I don’t have anything with my current address on it, other than the lease agreement, so it’s going to take a few steps over red tape to get proper ID, and I am not mentally healthy enough to push that process along right now)
I had a keypass, which they stopped in 2022. I only found out about proof of age cards last year, when I tried to get into an RSL and the bouncer asked if I had anything else because they’re phasing out keypass.
I know it’s stupid and ignorance isn’t an excuse, but as a teenager I was told to get a keypass because “that’s the ID you get when you don’t have a licence” so I got a keypass, and for the next 15 years I didn’t run into a single issue with not having the right ID. No one I worked with ever questioned why that’s the only ID I had, so I never really stopped to research the specifics. I didn’t know that keypass and “proof of age card” were different, I thought keypass was a proof of age card, just different names for it.
I am not mentally healthy enough to push that process along right now
Aren’t there anyone who can help you with it, then? I don’t know about Britain or Ireland (I’m guessing based on your use of chemist), but here in Denmark, there’s all kinds of help available for when you can’t do that kind of thing.
Granted, if you have ADHD and/or anxiety like me, I fully understand that even finding who to contact about it and then contacting them can itself be extremely difficult 😮💨
In Australia I’m not even sure if there is a service that could help me - other than applying for an actual disability support worker to help, which my ADHD could probably benefit from, but that’s a whole other paperwork process and it’s frustrating that paperwork is a barrier to getting accommodations and support with completing paperwork!
Yeah, I hear you! I’m only functional enough to take my ADHD meds because the ADHD meds work and even THAT would probably crumble if I didn’t have someone remind me to renew the subscription when I’m about to run out!
And yeah, having to do paperwork alone is the bane of my existence! Not only because it’s difficult, but also because it makes me feel like much more dumb than I actually am. 20 years of going undiagnosed was plenty of unnecessarily low self worth, thank you very much! 😂
