"The hackers gained initial access using a stolen account credential that lacked multi-factor authentication security, according to UnitedHealth."

Absolutely unacceptable. I might be easier to forgive them if some zero day was used, but that's so easily preventable.

That account presumably had some level of privileges, the policy should have been to enforce MFA, and if the account was inactive, disable it until the user needs it at which point set up MFA again.

I had a boss who called that connector the "Samsung plug" when I had an external HDD and was trying to find a cable for it. I had an S5 for years, so I knew exactly what he was talking about, not that it quelled my shock given he was the team lead of IT support.

Needless to say he was (and still probably is) a huge Samsung guy

I work at an MSP and while it wasn’t LastPass, when you search “Microsoft Authenticator” in the app store there’s a similar looking Authenticator app that’s also blue, and because it’s an ad it shows up first. Had a user install that and was confused why they weren’t able to get MFA working.

Hey guys, my Dad was always a neck bearded Unix admin so I’ve grown up my whole life on FreeBSD, then moving over to Gentoo during my teen years.

I’m starting to have thoughts about switching to Windows given that’s what my new job uses, but I couldn’t find any instructions on compiling Windows outside of very outdated releases like 2000. Also, does anyone know if emacs and htop are compatible, as those are my most used applications?

I'm not a big Twitter user to begin with, so I assumed based on the title that it was going to be similar to YouTube disabling the dislike counter.

Personally I'd like this to be a toggleable feature like Reddit has (had?), but otherwise, yeah seems like an obtuse change, I don't understand the why behind it.

I have a MBP 2015 and I love all the integrations with other stuff like my iPhone and Apple Watch, but every time I see a convenience feature like "Scan from iPhone" I just stop for a second and think "Imagine that was an open source, documented API that any developer could both hook into and implement into something like Windows or Linux."

Apple is so good at making everything just work when everything is Apple. Truly, I think if this problem was solved for PC users, it would take away from Apple's market share

I totally agree, but where I have a problem (and I imagine a lot of other users here) is that you can't fully opt out. You can only set "minimal" tracking but not none.

Well, hang on a second. I haven't used Steam in about 2 months now just as I'm studying, so maybe I'm missing some recent development, but Steam has worked for me near flawlessly on various Linux distros, from Ubuntu to Arch to openSUSE.

I'd say take a step back, I presume you're on Linux, and just make sure this isn't something your own PC that's causing Steam not to work. Checking logs and whatnot to at least begin with, checking how it's installed and if installing it in a different manner fixes it, basic troubleshooting steps.

Maybe Steam is absolutely borked, but usually, the way I see it is that realistically, if Steam works on popular distros like Ubuntu (which I imagine is the main one they would check against as well as whatever SteamOS is based on), then it's actually something wrong with my setup, and it's on me to fix or workaround. If its clearly something wrong with Steam, lodge a bug report. If they don't respond to you then I think sure you're justified to say they don't want your money.

Until then I don't think it's entirely fair to seemingly come out of nowhere, and instead of doing what most other people do and say "Hey, Steam's crashing and unusable, here's the info I have, help?" you look like you're just accusing Valve of not supporting your likely niche distro on your specific hardware.

Maybe I'm wrong about all the assumptions I'm making here but you're not exactly giving a lot of info here, and to me this just looks like an unproductive bitchfest about a program, and I think that's why people are down voting your post.

There is ThumbKey on F-Droid that, if you get good at the layout, I imagine would be ideal for that phone.

I just want you to know that was an amazing read, was actually thinking "It gets worse? Oh it does. Oh, IT GETS EVEN WORSE?"

Maybe I'm looking into this too far, but I think if someone's happy to have things the way they like them (ads, Chrome, etc.) and clearly doesn't want to elaborate on it, they have every right to not elaborate further.

Let them find it their own way. Or maybe they won't, but it's their choice to make.

This is what stopped me from doing it. I always feel like if I've helped make one person's day a little bit better, then I've done my bit as a human.

I know how good it is when you have a really complex, niche, problem and someone gives the answer you exactly needed, and I don't want to take that away from the public, even though a company I don't support is profiting off my comments and submissions.

I did a quick bit of research on this, and I wasn't really able to find anything to corroborate this. I'd be interested to know if there is a proper source to this though

I want to comment and submit content, I just feel like I don't have anything of value to share. That tends to be why I lurk. Not sure if that's the case for most other lurkers.

I still have a LaserJet 2200 and it will be pried from my cold dead hands. The plastic has gone brittle on some spots of it, and the front manual feed cover has long broken but it still dutifully works.

Its pedantic and distracts from the real conversation happening. I've always considered "stock" to mean how the device ships from the factory (that's how the term is used in the automobile world), whereas I would think it fair to consider AOSP a standard, it's something you can compare other ROMs against.

Regardless of mine or anyone else's opinion, we're just ultimately wanting to talk about how GrapheneOS is much closer to the clean and uncluttered experience AOSP offers

Far out, how much you putting on? As far as I’m aware, doing a cross over the processor is all that’s needed

I have email addresses under Outlook (old personal account), Gmail (study provided email), Exchange (work) and Proton (main personal account). I also actively use the calendar feature in my client, which is sync'd up to my Nextcloud instance.

Just having it all under Thunderbird is so convenient and it feels more private. It's also an entirely consistent UI between accounts
