I mean this is just a terrible analogy to start with. I guarantee you it's a lot quicker, easier and cheaper to change your TOTP authenticator than it is to change a fucking fridge. You clearly didn't understand the point I'm making so let me be more explicit: I don't expect people to know everything. As you allude to, it's impossible to know everything. What I do expect, is for people to learn and try to resolve problems they face, rather than just sticking their head in the sand and pretending there's nothing they can do. A more accurate analogy using your fridge example would be: Johnny buys a POS Samsung fridge. Unknown to Johnny, Samsung fridges use R407c refrigerant which causes the compressor valves to wear out prematurely. The compressor on his fridge needs to be replaced after just 3 years of use. Rather than asking others for advice on the issue, Johnny now tells anyone that will listen, that all fridges will all need their compressor replaced after 3 years. That's what's happening in this thread: zero requests for information or help about the issue; multiple posts claiming things that are factually incorrect, with absolute confidence.
