authed··on AWS us-east-1 outage
I've had issues login-in at amazon.com too... and IMDB is also down

I usually go on Twitter first for outages.

authed··on I 14Xed my salary in 14 years
Yeah, luckily it has been a bull market
authed··on Chrome client “variations” can be used to identify you (2020)
They still have a few of my emails but besides that, only Youtube browsing... I use LineageOS without Gapps on my phone and some other web search engine, most of the time.
authed··on My Favorite Software Subreddits
> [...] of which you will be banned at the sign of any criticism.

Very true... I just had a few accounts banned that they somehow connected to each other... /r/politics is one of them that really likes the ban-hammer (you have to be pro-Biden AND anti-Trump to avoid any issues).

authed··on Amazon is bypassing supply chain chaos with chartered ships and long-haul planes
I placed 4-5 orders from china/aliexpress in the last 1-1/2 month and if anything, shipments were delivered faster then usual...
authed··on You click a link to a news site, to read an article that seems interesting
Facebook is pretty bad too... I was just watching a video, lowered the volume and scrolled down... then it popped up an always-on-screen video player... I close it and it reverts back to playing the one that is offscreen, and the volume gets reset to maximum level.
authed··on Approx. 24 hours ago, Tether printed 1B $USDT out of thin air
> That clearly hasn't happened. The rate has been very close to 1:1 forever.

I tried to set a buy order for Tether at less than $1 and the exchange (Kraken) would not let me, maybe that's why?

authed··on Bitcoin Price Tumbles After Wall Street Selloff
> The global crypto market cap is $2.33T, a 4.85% decrease over the last day.

not that bad...

authed··on Blender 3.0
Blender is great... I just tried a bunch of free/open apps to do boolean operations on complex STL files, and it was the best performing one... most completely failed.
authed··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
yeah not good... and the only reason I started to save my previous passwords is because of Google. It is the only company that I know of that uses obsolete data to verify that you are the account holder.
authed··on Lego has designed a set that can't be taken apart
I'm currently printing a 3D puzzle that probably won't be able to be taken apart (I think I made the gaps a bit too small, but we'll see).

But it makes business sense for Legos to do that (short term)... it is basically single-use and discard Legos.

authed··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
It would not be weaker then usual authentication... you would still need username and password.

Not sure why companies nowadays rely on your tiny device to provide a second password. Both my passwords and 2FAs are on that device, what security does it add?

And why do they need a password if they are going to require Timestamped-2FAs anyways?

authed··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
Yes I had the correct password and no 2FA... yet they require some form of second-factor that I am not really aware of.
authed··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
Same. I don't even know my password, but I know that I have the correct one because I use a password manager.
authed··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
Good idea, but I wish that there was an option to get backup codes without having to enable 2-step verification.

authed··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
Fixed. I used Chromium to login (which I never do) and then back to Firefox. Everything back to normal, for now.
authed··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
I am on the same internet connection (Comcast cable) but my IP address did just change though.

Edit: I was able to login using Chromium (even if I never usually do)... and now it works again in Firefox. I wish Google would just accept my credentials and ignore the rest.

authed··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
Good idea, but when I try to reset the password, it asks me for the last password I remember https://i.imgur.com/vedOeJG.png and then I am brought back to the same page https://i.imgur.com/JAXxcvl.png ... (I tried my current password and the last two before that).
authed··on Show HN: Emoji to Scale
I didn't know that we could get a 5.5cm credit card...

I will look at lemmy because I try to avoid reddit... thanks.
