The heat problems are real. I mounted one to the underside of a cabinet, and it melted the plastic lining on the opposite side of the wood. They run extremely hot.

Cost proof doesn't cut in for those users - it's typically only put in on the Nth new signup within X hours from an IP address.

It should be assumed they check the phone number provider and block twilio as a spam prevention technique.

What you're describing is a "cost proof" - namely that the user has something we can verify that costs some amount of money and is unique. So when the service I work on asks for a phone number verification, it's not alwa

My point was not that there's no reason for cash in real estate. You being up a real scenario, but my point is that the scenario I describe is so common and well known that anyone with some contact with the system would know to bring i

I find it between puzzling and concerning that the mention of cash being used in real estate deals doesn't mention why. They mention that a table will be sold for a cash price, but miss the bigger picture - 2 million dollar homes were

GoodRx /is/ the third party app. The point is that US consumers shouldn't need to worry that their medical insurance is duping them.

Manufacturing defects are part of engineering - they're good at this and there will be multiple scans done of the shield before it's sent up (x-rays etc) to check for defects. But I'm also curious about what happens in the ev

No. For this app to get access to your email you would have to click through a prompt saying "this app can read all of your email". The profile, email, and OpenID scopes are just profile info. Still sometimes more info than is nee

Can you provide some examples? I've used the fs and networking without issue, so I'm wondering where you hit issues. I can host a server in WSL and hit it from windows via localhost. I can download a repo in windows and access it

I think it's more damning of the hardware with memtest in the title. It's literally a test program - by definition your hardware should pass it. If you fall to pass the test, and fail catastrophically, that's on you.

A Windows 10 tablet (I can't name one, but some probably exist) has this out of the box with the wireless screen projection (win+K). I had to do this laptop to laptop to projector for a lightning talk once after the first laptop had a

VPN puts you on corpnet. And yes, I'm well familiar with our various account protection techniques (I work on the token server) - I was calling out that some companies trust their systems enough to make it remotely accessible, not sayi

Not entirely true. Microsoft puts (almost? Yet to find anything that isn't) all our code on VSTS which is accessible remotely, without VPN. I've checked in a (very very minor docs) fix to the Windows code base from my Android phon

Yeah, when it was first released no one wanted to believe it was kernel level compat. Curious - what would you prefer to see Windows do to make it more POSIX compatible beyond the current work of making it actually POSIX compatible? I mean,

What isolated machine? Open up WSL, run "CMD.exe notepad", then top. You'll see the instance of notepad running, and then you can go kill it with taskmanager. People still seem to think it's a VM when it's not - the

The marginal value of a season with good ratings matters. The content is there forever and two seasons of it vs three might not impact subscriber numbers as much as two seasons of it and one season of a brand new show.

I'd be open to hearing the right context, since I read it the same way. "Replaces PWs 1:1" is only true in the context of... the attacker only uses stolen passwords and doesn't rely on password dumps? Even in a targeted

Authentication and Federated login shouldn't become the same thing, and FIDO doesn't move us closer to that. There's not a scenario where this becomes "silently login to Facebook and silently provide consent by clicking

We (IDPs in general, I can't quite speak to FIDO work) still have other account recovery methods, like email (eg Facebook lets you do fast IDV for password reset if you have a Gmail account associated). Part of this is a turtle tower -

I just removed my SMS from Google auth, thanks! And set up an Authenticator (Azure). I would like to see a world where we start removing SMS (and old passwords) from existing accounts.
