  The point of 2FA isn’t that if your password is weak it saves you. The point is if your password gets leaked somehow (you accidentally enter it on a fake site, the site gets compromised, someone looks over your shoulder), they still can’t enter without the 2FA. I hate SMS 2FA (it’s not even secure) and sites that make you go through 3 steps for some reason, but the 6 digit code ones really aren’t that big of a deal, you just whip out your phone and open an app.

  I mean physics is insane in general. XKCD had a video the other day that mentioned that if you had enough light/a strong enough laser, space itself stops being transparent because matter suddenly starts materialising out of nothing and blocks the light.

  Because if he was truly such a genious he would know it’s not right and fix it himself, or in general know how to have higher quality assurances.

  Damn, I guess fluoridated water caused computers,

  Yeah but my point was moreso that there are more important things to focus on that are probably easier to do. I mean, reducing shipping by just the fact you don’t need to ship oil anymore is pretty nice, it’s free reduced emissions, I’m just saying that it’s not that big of a deal. It is a nice plus however.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know thy enemy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but if I’m not mistaken, emissions from shipping are quite low anyways. It’s something like 2-5℅ of all our emissions, so it’s pretty low priority.

  I mean that’s just regular windows shenanigans. It often says it’s waiting on some apps forever, and when you click cancel it tells you it’s actually updating and that’s why it’s not shutting down.

  Well one reason is that this is basically exactly the thing current AI is perfect for - detecting patterns.

  That’s not how gravity works. It’s proportional to your own mass.

  ? Where did you get 9x=5 -> x=1 and 5/9 is 0.555… so it checks out.

  Man this still hits so hard, god damn nostalgia.

  Yeah, I don’t agree with the post, I think for an OS like Windows, which is used by a lot of non-techy people, things like OP’s post should be the norm, you shouldn’t be able to brick your sistem easily.

  But I feel your pain for windows apps, they’re such fucking cancer. I had the same problem when I tried to uninstall Sea of Thieves because the installer / Microsoft Store app was broken.

  Apparently, aliens are very interested in anglophone countries
