Congratulations, you've spotted the negligible amount, which I explicitly said was negligible, as opposed to zero. Just because something has some benefit does not mean that benefit is greater than the costs.

When did I say they required a smartphone? A landline will work perfectly fine for "voice" 2FA, and just about anything but a landline will work for SMS 2FA. They probably would mail me a statement, but that means I'm limited

Well... yeah, it wasn't very good. I realize now "latter part" wasn't clear - I meant just the bit about 3 tabs. But heck... it even had Flash .

Ah. So we're expecting people - rank and file worker bees - to be paid based on how much revenue (not even profit) their employer (or in this case customer) makes, rather than how much value they provide or another sane measure?

Gonna take a wild guess and say the $10k is for copyright, not PR, y'all.

by jfrunyon 6y ago
To all the people saying $10k is low... how is $10k low?! Even if you're making $120k/year that's a month's salary. For something he did for his own, personal enjoyment, not expecting to make anything.

This is your idea of maintainable? Yikes. Tell me, how many places in the referenced snippet would need to be changed to, say, allow commas to be present in numbers?

On the other hand, look at the validation: - Why not check the length of the string before the switch? - Why return a string which is (meant to be) identical to a variable? - Why not set the regex into a variable and then only have one if

If you can't maintain your revenue by signing up new customers to replace those you lose, you have to keep those you already have, and better yet, achieve some growth by upselling them.

Okay, so, as you can see in the first page, it is in fact not from 2001, but instead at least 2017. This is like saying that Windows 10 is from 1985. Just because the first version came out then doesn't mean the latest version did. Als

Most virtual machines either have their own branding in CPUID, or pass through the host CPUID.

The world has far better uptake of HTTPS than of DKIM. If DKIM was as widely used as HTTPS, then Google likely would indicate when a message was not signed.

In all countries, you have but to prove to some lowly paid telco employee's satisfaction that you are the owner of the number. That is not a serious impediment.

SMS is completely insecure. Not only can it be passively sniffed along the way, not only can malicious actors reroute your number, not only can pretty much any employee at your telco access it, not only can pretty much any employee at your

I was able to find this. Haven't attempted it yet but it appears that it is in fact standard TOTP, only the VIP app generates the seed and you have to provide the seed to (in this case) Fidelity. https://gist.github.com&#x2F

by jfrunyon 6y ago
Interesting. I can't get it to give me any options like that personally. (Maybe because I have a security key active?)

by jfrunyon 6y ago
Unfortunately, Fidelity (at least for my account) only offers some non-standard "Symantec VIP" product. Does someone reading this know if there's a way to turn it into standard TOTP?

by jfrunyon 6y ago
Sure, and instead, people use apps like Signal or WhatsApp, which are tied to phone numbers, on which the attacker can now register to your phone number thanks to his receiving your SMS...
