My bank took away the ability to do 2FA via email and is phone-only now. At least with the typical Gmail/equivalent account you have the option of making that less vulnerable to social engineering and outright bribes.

Yeah. I love this kind of stuff and appreciate everything the author has done but I think much better is possible.

Thank you for this. I actually thought it was only me that found these kinds of "timestamps" much less useful more often than not.

I've had this happen about three times now, but every time the actual problem is pocket lint inside the connector. After I clean it out it is back to working like new. It's not always obvious that it's lint until you start

This literally happened to me yesterday for a trip I'm leaving for in 3 days. The best part is that it's the second time I've been canceled on for this same trip. Naturally everywhere that isn't already booked up is

I think there is the question of what people would do with the money they save by buying only the entry-level car. Would everyone really just save the money? I expect people would just spend it on something else (that maybe has more effec

Still using my 48G today. I used to have a 48GX as well but some (not old!) batteries leaked and ruined it. In high school I wrote some RPL for it that would use a small 9V-powered 2400bps modem to dial into a local BBS and download my mai

I think it's a little of column A and a little of column B. Just a few weeks ago I had two back-to-back $400+ fraudulent online charges on my card, but due to alerts I discovered it within 20 minutes of them happening. I immediately
