How to Stop Your X Account From Getting Hacked Like the SEC’s (www.wired.com)

X’s move to make people pay for a basic form of two-factor is problematic. It also created confusion because the company prompted free users to switch away from SMS two-factor, but then seemingly simply turned off the protection altogether for those who didn’t. This likely left a group of users in a situation where they...

I have no idea if sms (ew) is an option, or if it is paid limited, but yeah I’ve had TOTP for years on my account and it’s still working fine, no financial transactions made, so…

As a user of RedReader since launch a decade+ ago, I dig Thunder. Simple, no bullshit, logical settings.

Alright, who has the time machine?

There’s no obvious buttons on the remote, so I had no idea it was an option.

I mean I’d rather have a mini qwerty keyboard included for this purposes, but companies won’t spend any money they don’t have to, so I figure T9 is a happy medium. For when you just need to type a few characters to get to what you want.

I stand behind the idea that I need an app in place of an input method “fucking stupid”, regardless though.

It’s almost like I said I’ve never used one, how mind-blowing. Your deduction skills are truly unmatched.

I went looking at the product page and saw no button for voice in any of their images. I guess you have to hold something for a few seconds, but as a new user, I’d never know it was there.

Also, plex and a few others offer the options to type, scan a qr code, or visit a url and sign in to validate the user. I guess if you’re stuck with typing as your only option, fine, use the app. Still not what I’d call a good user experience.

To the contrary, I own two older Macs and like some of their software/services enough to pay for it as a subscription; I’m not the one making bold assumptions here, at least not without saying I’m not fully aware. You, on the other hand…

That’s cool, really, and they should promote that feature.

But as I’ve stated elsewhere in this thread, no I didn’t, and said as much - just looking at the product images, as any typical potential customer would. But you’d know that if you read the comments, so…

Nuke the entire landmass. Enjoy not having to worry about what stupid shit the US political dumpster fire will regurgitate and manipulate this week. Be loved by almost every country on the planet for doing it. Gals and guys alike will be tripping over each other to suck you. Police stop being penis-waving fucks and start obeying the law, NK shits themselves and rejoins SK, Putin has a heart attack, and everyone starts buying electric cars because you threaten to do it again if not. World peace out of sheer terror. Rainbows and unicorns spawn randomly. And as a gargantuan meteor is about to crash into earth and kill all remaining sentient life, you are deemed the one true god.

Hello fbi, late today aren’t you?

(just let me know before you do this, I have some things I need to pack first)

Edit: basically End of Ze World but updated a bit

Re: FH4, ms store and steam versions are incompatable, and I’m not replaying 3.5k hours to get back to where I’m at (eat shit and die, devs, it’d be easy as fuck to do but you’re little shitstains and lifting a finger that you don’t absolutely have to is far too much effort, we know). I know this because I got the steam version on release to find out that all my progress is magically gone. Thank fuck steam has refunds now.

Halo Wars 1 is on steam, but 2 is not :( (and it’s the far superior game, imo).

I’m basically looking for a system that scans my existing games, gives a “yes it all works” or “no and here’s why”, that I can use to actually migrate. Other comments deep in the tree go over this but tl;dr I’m so tired of being excited and hopeful and drop a week+ into it just for a showstopping problem and I revert to the windows system backups. I’m tired of being the guinea pig, ya know?

The initial comment ended in a :p and my argument are valid as I’ve tried dozens of times to switch myself but alight sweetie, be mad~

I have been progressively disliking Windows since 7 - I feel it peaked with Vista, tbh, I was incredibly excited for that OS and even was a beta tester and provided feedback. I hated 8 (never owned, but I worked on customer’s machines that had it and 8.1). I dove into 10 the day it went gold and it’s been a ‘oh fuck, what is this shit’ ever since. 11 I tried for a month before reverting to 10 (yay disk imaging!) and I don’t know what I’ll do when 10 goes eol in like 18 months (for this desktop anyway, see below).

I’ve used Win from 95 all the way through 11, and I started trying and in some cases using Linux distros starting back in… 03? Knoppix was my first, then Ubuntu and it’s various flavors, straight Debian, Arch and it’s many spinoffs, Fedora… I want it to work. It’s the project car in the field with “potential”. It could be great. But every time you try and work on it, you find something weird, some oddity, some gotcha, and give up and let it sit. Until next time. Rinse and repeat.

I installed W10 Enterprise LTSC a month or so ago on my ThinkPad (non-gaming), as it is supposed to get security updates for much longer, as I understand it. I tried to put Fedora on the ThinkPad, but the Snapdragon X55 modem doesn’t work, and that is the reason I got this machine, so that’s DoA. There are fixes but they are for older versions of distros and literally none of them work (again, install *nix, try to make it work, get frustrated, revert). It’s like, unless you’re in this very boring typical user status, as soon as you step beyond that, it’s nothing but frustrating. And I hate that - again, I want this to work, but it just doesn’t. I have years of similar stories, and I’m just like… I’m trapped in this cycle of wanting to enjoy a system that fights me every step, for one reason or another. So after almost two decades of it, I’m like ‘it just doesn’t work until I see proof otherwise, and I’m going to be stuck until that changes’.

Super frustrating :(
