TORFdot0 , to technology in Google Drive misplaces months' worth of customer files

I use rclone and a backup script to periodically download my Google drive contents to a portable external hard drive

TORFdot0 , to retrogaming in What's everyone playing?

I have the PS2 port which I have never completed. I think it comes with Blue Shift as well, so that will be my next game on the backlog once I finish Zelda II

TORFdot0 , to retrogaming in What's everyone playing?

As a kid I could never figure out how to get the river man to let me cross so I couldn’t even get to death mountain. At least I’ve gotten that far this time!

Zelda II, I’ve never beaten before so I’m trying to do it with out looking up a guide or using save states. That last one is really hard

TORFdot0 , to technology in Microsoft’s Windows Hello fingerprint authentication has been bypassed

You’re right. By most definitions of MFA biometrics would pass. A biometric is something you are, and the device is something you have. My comment is more for privacy zealous people, who are concerned that they could be compromised by governments without a “something you know” component.

Better put would be stop using biometrics for single factor authentication. A token can be stolen, or a passcode/push notification can be phished/bypassed as easy as biometrics can.

TORFdot0 , to technology in Microsoft’s Windows Hello fingerprint authentication has been bypassed

They aren’t 100% reliable and it has its’ challenges based on its implementation but I wouldn’t consider it fundamentally insecure. It’s as secure as a NFC token, TOTP, or a push notification as a form of authentication. It’s like birth control, no method is 100% safe and effective, but plain username and password auth is like pulling out, anything is better than that.

TORFdot0 , to technology in Microsoft’s Windows Hello fingerprint authentication has been bypassed

It uses web view for web authentication for registering your Hello PIN to your Microsoft account. So it’s by design on Microsoft’s end. You can then use the Windows Hello credential as a passkey but if you don’t want that, you’d need another solution for biometric auth.

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in Has anyone else noticed smartphones have got significantly more addictive recently

I feel the exact opposite about you tube. I feel like there is nothing interesting to watch any more unless one of my follows post a new video

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?"

AGI isn’t real

TORFdot0 , to lemmyshitpost in Damn y'all fucking love landlords don't you

Both tankies and landlords find that being a part time dog walker is an acceptable day job. The difference is that the tankies live in their parent’s basement instead of working and the landlord lets other people live in his basement instead of working.

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in People who read marketing emails, where do you find the time to do so? And why?

For anyone that already has an iCloud subscription, “Hide my email” does essentially the same thing and can’t be sanitized as it’s an actual separate alias that Apple creates for you. If you end up getting to much spam in a certain alias you can delete it and migrate the account to a brand new alias

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in People who read marketing emails, where do you find the time to do so? And why?

I live by the inbox zero philosophy. Every email in my inbox is a task that needs to be completed. When they come in, they get responded to if needed and then filed, archived, or deleted. So when a marketing email arrives to my inbox, I’m immediately unsubscribing so I won’t be spammed from that site again

This is the only way I’ve found to keep my inbox from having hundreds of unread messages piling up

TikTok is a symptom of the world’s problem, not the cause. The cause is we are all so stupid
