  • *Taxes with fewer steps.

    No need for all that pesky tax paperwork, save for end-of-year tax filings.

  • There was a time when I... well, I didn't really follow him all that much, but I didn't have any reason to dislike him. That changed when he tried to back out of buying Twitter.

    At the time I was unhappy with how Twitter was handling its problems. I was hoping things would improve with new ownership. When he backed out, I started to see what kind of person he really was: someone who thought he could do basically whatever he wanted.

    By the time he actually did but Twitter, I was glad the government actually stuck it to him and made him go through with the purchase. And I'm glad Twitter is failing because of his own blunders. I'm hoping it eventually dies (I'm already trying to move on to other platforms like Bluesky or Mastodon. Just waiting for people I follow to move to them.) and that he's still left with money he hasn't made back after that purchase.

  • DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again

  • Others replying to the comment included Blu-ray, so I did, too. I assumed it was a given to include that since others had already brought it up.

  • Too bad this apparently only counts Steam games. Lately, I've been trying to use GOG (because no DRM) whenever possible.

  • At the very least, it's still (generally speaking) higher quality video than streaming. It's not uncompressed, though.

  • Every now and then, I'm reminded that Skype is somehow still alive.

  • At that point, I would've just googled the phone number.

  • "Hey, Google, I'm having sex!"

    Google turns down the lights and turns on the balls.

  • Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on *.google.com access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage

  • I thought extensions don't run in incognito mode?

    They don't. Unless you check the box that allows them to. And I'm sure Google has already checked that box by default.

  • Are you talking about the "apps" that Chrome used to support? They removed the feature years ago to reduce bloat and RAM usage or something like that.

    Before they removed the feature, I had actually figured out how to create my own "apps" that'd simply load webpages I visited often at the time, like Twitch.

  • Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen

    Jump

  • then i found you can't export your data from Authy

    Exporting data from a 2FA app sounds like the opposite of secure. Not to mention you don't want your 2FA codes on Authy (or any other 2FA app) to remain valid if you're not using it.

    When I switched from Google Authenticator to Authy years ago, I went through each 2FA-enabled account one by one to disable 2FA and then re-enable it using Authy. It's a long process depending on how many accounts you have 2FA enabled on, but it's worth it.

    Reading the OP, looks like it's time to generate new keys for all my 2FA accounts.

  • The way I read it, they already (in the third paragraph of the blog post) had companies auditing their backend technology and (in the fourth paragraph) were starting to have companies audit their apps, too.

  • I admittedly should've done more research before my first comment, but it does actually turn out that everything I said is true. Proton's technology was previously audited by Mozilla and is currently audited by SEC Consult and other companies regularly, and the audits are available for everyone to view. Additionally, they do have a bug bounty program. Also (and this is something I didn't mention), the ProtonVPN and Proton Mail apps are all open source.

  • Fax machines are actually still pretty widely used in corporate America (but not in households at all). Especially insurance and medical companies. I remember having to ask my dad years ago to fax something for me from his work (a bank's corporate office) since we didn't have one in the house. (I don't remember what the fax was for.)
