Like Randelung said, that would be true if you couldn’t reset you password via email. But as long as that’s possible the email can’t ever be the 2nd factor because it can be used to (re)set the 1st one.

A safer definition of what the 2 factors should be is “something you know” and “something you own”. The “know” is usually a password (which you can remember, but you should use a password manager these days so you can have a different password for every service). The “own” is typically a phone these days (generating a timed code, for example). But it doesn’t have to be, it can be a physically USB dongle or your fingerprint. The idea is that it’s something that can’t be overheard, or recorded via key logger or or even told to someone.

Steam does this better (as in safer) than most.

That’s the point of real 2fa. And the process of activating it also makes it very clear. I find it incredibly frustrating when I activate 2fa on some service, and they allow email as a fallback that I can’t turn off. Cause that turns it back into single factor, being the email. That’s what the recovery codes are for.

Otherwise, if someone has access to your email, they can just reset the password and get access (cause that is the 2nd factor). Then they can change the associated email address and that’s that.

Not anymore, I hope from his description…

A wildly overpowered PSU will also use more power at low loads, as that’s outside the efficiency range. The ratings (like gold or platinum) also usually don’t apply, as loads like that are not part of the certification process.

This may be irrelevant to you of course, depending on your electricity prices.

Ah you’re right. The limit is probably still not in effect, given the light conditions, but that’s just guess work.

Edit: like like the dashboard clock says 18:27, so it’s probably fine.

The signs below the speed limit (probably, cause pixels) say “bei Nässe”, which means “only when wet”. So assuming this is an Autobahn, and it does look like one, it’s probably fine.

Any password manager should be able to “type in” the password. Or be a browser plugin that doesn’t rely on copy pasting, but use other mechanisms to inject it directly into the field.

But yes, if that’s their online portal, I am not kidding I would change banks.

Arguably gambling.

I didn’t initially read the title and guessed it was “new world order beyond heavy metal”. Reasonably close I’d say.

Because they don’t want you to host things at your house, even though that’s perfectly fine from a technical standpoint. They might want to sell you a “business” line for this, or they just don’t want the traffic (since at least in my area, traffic is always included in any home Internet connection).

Actual Ms paint works for that.

All SSD and NVMe are also “just flash”, and reach 5GB/s and more, often limited by the available interface bandwidth until very recently.

That’s pretty slow for terabyte sized storage. And slow compared to the alternatives, too (600 MB/s or Gabs/s).

Spinning hard disks are faster than this, too. Have been for decade(s).

If “all bugs” was like 50 or so, that’s pretty good. Well done!

I get a 404 on the RSS feed link.

And this is why I refuse to buy devices that depend on “the cloud” to essentially work at all. Getting harder though…
