Yup. It's arguable whether TOTP secrets stored in Google Authenticator are a true "something you have" factor, but this came at a tradeoff because not everybody wants to pay for a RSA token generator and carry that around. As

I would caution against this approach. This fundamentally changes the 2FA from a "something you have" to "something you know", which is the type of factor your password is. If you do want 2FA functionality on the command

This sounds a lot like Throttle ( https://throttlehq.com/ ). How are they getting around the deliverability issues? If they forward mail along, don't large ISPs like Gmail ultimately attribute any spam that comes along t

That's actually not true. I believe with the latest generation of Nvidia cards (10 series) they made rendering multiple similar viewpoints dirt cheap by tweaking the hardware and the rendering pipeline. From the arstechnica review on t

I disagree. I had tried out Atom for a little bit (after the v1 general release) and more than once I lost my entire workspace. Either through a computer crash, Atom crash, or something else. Maybe I didn't configure something right, m

I've had an experience where they claimed a cable modem I had purchased from Amazon was their own (from the MAC address on the label). I had to call in several times because I had loaned the modem out to a friend and they refused to ac

I believe these are requirements, that each of the separate teams working on these projects have to use wholly different suppliers to also minimize the chance that the same external factors negatively influence the system.

An interesting thing I realized on Android while doing some development was that if you install a custom root cert, Android actually persists a notification that says something along the lines of "other people may be able to intercept

I used to be of the mind that the service provider should let me choose whatever password since it was after all, my password and my account. The place I'm working for right now used to have no password policy for the end users. We als

Disappointed that they did nothing to probe the onboard MCUs to see if they could get it to leak anything, and just dismissed that with "we expect it to get high marks there." This seems an awfully low quality report from an infos

I'm actually surprised that there's no policy on conflict of interest for these universities. It's one thing to be charging through the nose tuition, that's just further exacerbated by these professors that wring student

I had encountered this in the lower div general education courses at my university. The most egregious one was the professor who required us to get the current edition of the textbook (since he would be assigning problems out of the new boo

This is important. With unlimited PTO, you no longer accrue PTO hours per pay period. Those unused PTO hours are legally required to be paid out at your usual rate when you leave, regardless of reason. I'm actually surprised that this

Uber wasn't explicitly mentioned, but it just sounds like the TLC is overly trigger happy in seizing cars, presumably because of the uptake in services like Lyft and Uber who in the TLC's eyes are skirting around the law.

Lets throw our own people under the bus and see what kind of juicy leaks come out!

Personally its not the slowness that I mind so much. I spent a week in Japan and was never bothered by their train system times and whatnot. The thing that really grinds my gears about BART is that every freaking time in their time table is

This seems incredibly awkward to me. Several of the design goals for this app were to eliminate the need for sync, as you're able to fairly easily replicate the initial seeds/salts for password generation (your full name, your mas
