i finally managed to extract the OTP secret.
OMG, WTF. So needlessly hard. If Epic Store did the same of Valve for their OTP, the forums would be filled with hate and outrage
- Comment on Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app 4 days ago:
Need to pay an auditor to check the code support.google.com/cloud/answer/13465431?hl=en
- Comment on Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app 5 days ago:
for FOSS projects, google itself could sponsor the certification, if they really cared about security and not just closing the garden. The code is public and they could definitely write automated tests to check all they need to check, and at every single commit, and not just yearly, done in secret by some auditor.
For google drive integration, i saw that most devs are just removing support for it because doesn’t make sense to pay $500 yearly to support it when there’s a million of better alternatives
- Comment on Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app 5 days ago:
I replaced gmail with fairemail for similar reasons. I can’t stand their interface, designed to maximise clicks on the wrong locations.
Main problem is that now google requires developers of email clients to give $4000 in annual fees (level 3? or level 2 for just $500 is enough?) at their friends at KPMG to do yearly audits of the code, so they will kill most alternatives in few years now that oauth is mandatory
- Comment on Stop Trying To Schedule A Call With Me 1 week ago:
What I hate the most is that in order to know the pricing I have to watch a 2 hours demo, and at that point I already know that it’s unaffordable because they’re starting to do calculations “this is how much you’re going to save”.
Saw a 100% offline quoting tool that, they wanted $1000 per month because "you and your team will save 200 hours per month so this tool pays back in less than 2 weeks"
- It’s offline
- We have to pay for the server
- It requires a month of training and data fitting (at our expense)
- Doesn’t require any additional update and once set can be left like that for decades
Why the hell it’s a subscription???

I always wonder if those actually work

I’d absolutely pay that 23 cents PayPal invoice as there’s a fixed 35 cents fixed fee on every transaction plus 3%, so if you pay it, it costs them 13 cents

First amendment? That was during democracy,
Did the TikTok CEO donate some millions to Trump like all the others? Yes, someone in the bytedance board donated 1.4 millions to Trump super PAC, so that’s what it counts.

for some reason telecoms worldwide are allowing voip companies to spoof almost any number - you can ID them but require cooperation of too many companies for a single individual without a court warrant

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It looks like it’s some “nice guy”. Send a link “ok you definitely won my heart now, click here to see my nude”. When the word “nude” appears, his small brain goes in overflow, and his dick will let him click that link. The link is something that let you track his ip address AND shows a dick pick, for immediate brain crash

What they expect from this question? Some human is supposed to read this? Filling useless forms like those is the perfect job for a LLM

I wish they would just use a standard otp algorithm and I could easily use any auth app instead of a dedicated one

- Comment on China plans an “OPEC” for solar modules to fight its enormous overcapacities, stop price collapse 5 weeks ago:
It won’t work. Each of those companies isn’t going to actually cut production, just sell the excess on the grey market. Private company cares about profits, the real plan is to have someone else to cut production and raise prices

- Comment on Electric Cars Could Last Much Longer Than You Think - Rather than having a shorter lifespan than internal combustion engines, EV batteries are lasting way longer than expected 1 month ago:
it’s a number that i pulled out of my ass but yes, it’s about annualized failure rate. If the average battery breaks after 9 years, then it means there would be a lot of free replacements under the 8 year warranty. Like for hard drives they give 3 years warranty but it’s normal to assume that it lasts 10-15 years and not break immediately after 3 years (exception: [western digital inserted a timebomb[(reddit.com/…/wd_red_pluspro_issue_drive_being_mar…) to mark their drives as faulty via SMART as soon as the warranty is expired)
for the mitsubishi imiev most batteries are still working (different chemistry from modern ones) even if the last ones have been made in 2013
- Comment on Electric Cars Could Last Much Longer Than You Think - Rather than having a shorter lifespan than internal combustion engines, EV batteries are lasting way longer than expected 1 month ago:
I’m not surprised at all.
Almost all automakers are offering a 8 years warranty on the battery. That means who made the battery (=the one that would ultimately pay the bill if it lasts less than 8 years) is expecting an average of 15 years or more
Can you say the same for a normal engine? After 8 years it will start to give lots of problems. Oil leaking, compression problems, dirty injectors, and so on

There are a lot of websites that pretend to give you a hacked version but all the download button does is to show more ads. They just automatically fill pages with automatically stolen content from play store

you connect your PC directly out of the link that the ISP is giving you (if allowed), for example via PPPoE
- Comment on No NAT November: My Month Without IPv4 1 month ago:
The challenge didn’t ask to disable ipv4 but it was (jokingly) daring people to expose all ports to public to see how long the system would last before being exploited by bots. It wasn’t meant to be taken seriously 😆

- Comment on German carmaker Volkswagen to exit China's Xinjiang, sell factory 1 month ago:
They are doing it because they need to cut expenses and not because they care about the situation (having a factory there doesn’t necessarily mean they have forced labor from prisoners, just ultra cheap labor from ultra low wage workers)
Shareholders first
