TOTP can be used today to authenticate a couple to each other over an untrusted medium. It’s rather high friction; you have to set it up in advance, and then read a six digit number over the phone. And I am not sure that it mitigates the th

I had a similar experience with eBay. The problem is that “unlocked“ typically refers to being able to use it on a different carrier—not related to the bootloader. So I bought an “unlocked” Pixel that had a locked bootloader. Returned it. F

I am a fan of Rackspace Spot, and use it personally. It started out being a pure play Kubernetes cluster provider, but recently they added support for VMs. I was so impressed by its pricing and efforts at transparency that it motivated me t

I was also infuriated by this, so much so that I switched to TIDAL. Migrating was easy— I used their recommended webapp ti migrate all my playlists. Have been using TIDAL happily ever since. Never any popups or ads.

Everyone now has fondness for these and for thin clients in general, but I don’t see this concept used in modern times. Is there any modern equivalent, in particular with the power of a workstation rather than a kiosk? Amazon’s WorkSpaces i
