I mean they made a console for the same reason as everyone else: They wanted a dedicated DRM machine. One that they can control from bottom to top.
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 1 week ago:
They’ve already announced that the new Xbox is made by ASUS so I think that confirms my long held suspicion that they’re transitioning to an XBOX store for PCs, much like the XBOX Ally

Where are the best places to move to?
The amount of resources it would take to move to a new planet would be a tiny fraction of what it would take to fix the one that molded us.
- Comment on Good news, UK Discord users, we're part of a Peter Thiel-linked data collection "experiment" 2 weeks ago:
literally almost a 1:1 discord clone
If you read the blog, it’s because the dev studied the Discord code very closely and did their best to mimic it.
Though E2EE isn’t currently on the solo dev’s roadmap
It is on the roadmap. It says it right on the project homepage.

I mean regardless of how different it is, it’s exactly what you described in intention.
- Comment on Louis Rossmann spent the week using AI to get his repair business #1 on google - The Modern Internet Is a Joke 2 weeks ago:
I mean that business opportunity has been around for decades, and Kagi already caters to that kind of consumer, but this far Google retains like 99% of the market because no one gives a shit.

- Comment on Millions of people imperiled through sign-in links sent by SMS 5 weeks ago:
so it does that job
It does, really poorly, for the reasons I’ve listed, and for the reasons in the OP.
With the issue in the article you dont even need to intercept sms meant for a particular user to get access to random users’ accounts, thus totally different issue.
Not a different issue at all. Exact same issue, with lower risk.
I asked, what is better for a second factor than SMS?
I answered this like 12 comments ago.
We’re going around in circles now so I’ll bid you good night.
- Comment on Millions of people imperiled through sign-in links sent by SMS 5 weeks ago:
If you dont have the username and password, what good does an sms code do for anything?
The entire point of MFA is to protect against someone who does have your username and password…
- Comment on Millions of people imperiled through sign-in links sent by SMS 5 weeks ago:
The way TOTP works
Okay I thought you were still talking about SMS.
The messages aren’t encrypted at rest but, the connections are. You need a key in the physical sim card to intercept anything
No you do not. Most phones don’t even have this anymore.
And sim swap only works if you also have the person’s username and password for 2fa
Yes, and for the 3rd time, all the same vulnerabilities exist in MFA.
