If you can afford it, I personally highly recommend just buying two USB-C hardware Yubikeys and storing it on there. Built in back up and if you put it on your keyring, it’s always nearby. You can still use your phone to access the code as well.

Not exactly super helpful for solving this problem but since you’re already going to have to reset or get new accounts, it’s a good time to switch over if you’re interested.

Is this a Marvel Snap reference?!

I only use it for web stuff but W3Schools is usually pretty solid so I wouldn’t be mad having that as a first result.

Hmmm…I smell a massacre. Seems to be the only way to back these bastards up.

Make sure you’re on 1.19.0 of F-Droid, which needs to be installed manually for now.

Should’ve been a shuriken!

They may have at one point but they do not now.

It’s so unbelievably annoying that PayPal doesn’t let you use whatever display name you want to. Not everyone uses their legal name in their social life.

I understanding needing you know your customer, but why not let me set what my display name is?!

To Rule A Butterfly

I had to read the title three times before it clicked that it said 64 TERABYTES and not gigabytes.

Holy smokes.

This happened to me at my old apartment randomly. After giving the correct directions for month, one day Google decided “no, you have to go to this OTHER road and walk through the alley!”

But of course, there was no alley.

That being said, I put in the request with Google Maps to fix it and it was fixed in about 3 weeks. Took 2 weeks to even figure out why all my deliveries were being delivered a street over, though.

You’re not wrong but it feels disingenuous to say this. The entire repo with all of its dependencies checked out for a large website can easily clock at half a gig but there’s no popular website now that’s asking any users to download half a gig worth of stuff before they can use it.

There ARE websites where, if you keep them open long enough, they’ll constantly pull more and more data (usually for ads) but even that is measured more so in tens of megabytes.

And none of this is to say that websites haven’t gotten too big, just that comparing a downloaded app’s size to the size of a website’s unbuilt unbundled source with all of its dependencies is an unfair comparison.

Even if you turned it back at this point, it still wouldn’t work.

This is pretty infuriating though; Google works just fine with any device that doesn’t run Android so why would they care that you’re running a custom ROM?

My guess is something less evil and more mundane: something about your number changed in their system and now they can’t send codes to it, which is why it’s grayed out. Maybe it was previously classified as a mobile number but now is classified as a landline.

Your only option, if you don’t have any backup codes, is to use that “Get Help” option they have that takes a few days and then either start carrying around backup codes, a Yubikey, or De-Google.

Hey, maybe all 3!

You were a good boy. RIP.

A Travel Roku is the real pro tip.

It’s terrifying that the only way to win these days is to just never have been born. Even if you don’t play, someone you interact with online is and you get taken in that way.

All to sell you ads for things you don’t need or care about.

Works fine for me, but it is a PDF file.

I’ve never dealt with this using a hypersonic speaker but I’m very familiar with attempting to record lyrics while hearing my own voice on a delay and it’s impossible. Thinking about just trying to read text while hearing myself on a delay sounds similarly difficult.

My guess is that some of us, musicians especially, are more reliant on internal timing in all things.

But that’s Michelle Obama!
