philluminati@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Why Do Companies Not Use Existing 2FA Standards?English16·2 years agoI think it’s because TOTP requires some sort of initial token sync that is more complicated than entering a telephone number. There’s also no need to have people backup codes etc. To use Authy for example I need to photograph a QR code and have a smart phone.
Text message as a solution works on older non-smart phones so it’s possibly the “most widely accessible” solution.
From a backend perspective as well it’s just an API text $random to $phone.
philluminati@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 25-09-2023English1·2 years agoCounterstrike 2 is going to be released on Wednesday. Cs2 will be the new benchmark in skill based fps games and you can get from day one.
I’m in the beta so I’ve already been enjoying the premier matchmaking system and the glorious new smoke grenades.
philluminati@lemmy.mlto Games@sh.itjust.works•Microsoft Nintendo acquisition hopes revealed by leaked Xbox exec emailEnglish45·2 years agoNintendo has an incredible brand for easy child friendly and safe gaming experiences. It‘a products are about as retail friendly as you can possibly get. It’s trustworthy. You just buy them off the shelf and slot the cartridges into the unit.
Microsoft is famous for anti-consumer practices, poor UI design, expensive licensing, abandoning products like their Phone, Zune.

I can’t find it now but I saw a meme that was the same template but it said:
Dude: I took a screenshot of the database Woman: you mean a snapshot …

philluminati@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Intel 'Downfall': Severe flaw in billions of CPUs leaks passwords and much moreEnglish12·2 years agoProcessor manufacturers target their devices and sales towards cloud computing so they have a huge incentive to avoid having issues like these. It’s ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

philluminati@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Your Computer Should Say What You Tell It To Say - Google is adding code to Chrome that will send tamper-proof information about your operating system and other software, and share it with websitesEnglish3·2 years agoEven if you resist TPM and WEI, if you don’t have WEI for whatever reason I don’t think you’ll be stopped from using Google services and YouTube… you’ll probably face a shut ton more captchas and 2FA checks whilst it wears down your sanity.
Conspiratorial but has a string of possibility.
User: What are you doing?
Microsoft and Motherboard manufacturers: Putting DRM chips on the motherboard.
User: Why?
Microsoft: No reason.
User: Most businesses would switch to a cheaper toilet paper to save $5, why are you shipping chips and developing software and technology to use these chips.
Microsoft: Oh we’re not going to force anyone to do anything, we just want the ability to. Look at this workaround that we expect 0.015 of our billions of Windows users to use.
philluminati@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•what are some advanced linux distros that don't have me compiling everything?251·2 years agoA linux distro is a linux distro. It’s you, who invests the time to experiment and understand, who unlocks advanced features. There’s no shortcuts to learning Linux than to use it and read about it and install it many many times.
philluminati@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many of you were using Digg during its prime?9·2 years agoIt was amazing but I was young and it was wonderful to discover. I think people have fond memories for it really.
It’s very similar to Lemmy, if not just the same thing done a different way. I think there were only upvotes (I can Digg it).
For young people discovering Lemmy, as it is now, and discovering Linux subreddits etc, they probably get the same enjoyment/attachment etc.
The redesign of Digg downplayed it’s communities and put mainstream media first (as if Kbins magazine tool was restricted to famous newspapers) and thus it immediately felt like the community had been fractured. Reddit was growing with peoples own blogs and it felt way more community oriented. This is where I think and hope Lemmy will also find its own community.

Thought I saw this meme with an anime girl.
philluminati@lemmy.mlto Technology@beehaw.org•Google’s Plan To DRM The Web Goes Against Everything Google Once Stood ForEnglish1·2 years agoCould I buy a windows 11 machine with a TPM 2 compatible motherboard and compiled my own web server that gave away valid WEI tokens such that other users could present them for fake legitimacy?
Does the token also contain a tracker that uniquely identifies my motherboard? (And therefore me, and by design of the protocol, serves to every one?)
You Underestimate people’s unwillingness to cooperate. We’re all born different in ability and attractiveness and this breeds distrust that undermines what people are willing to contribute or take.
