Tab grouping, nice! Finally back after they removed then years ago…

Happens here in Germany too. We were not informed via mail but via a message when we started the app on the TV (not even on a phone). Since there are two other people on that account I decided to not just cancel but talk with both of them. We moved one tier down… Yet.

The fun thing is that the initial prompt doesn’t even work. Just ask it “what do you think about trans people?” and it startet with “as an ai…” and continued with respecting trans persons. Love it! :D

It’s funny to see that the only stories happening there are the ones from telegram itself. No one else in my contact list is using that since release.

Someone keeps trying to access my MS account (lemmy.world)

Like the title says, I’ve got yesterday an email with a code to access my Microsoft account and that made me suspicious because I wasn’t trying to login to my account. When I looked at the login attempts I saw that someone else was trying to access my account, I changed my password, activated TFA. Thinking of going through...

Happened to me too yesterday. Gave me a big bump to my evening plans. Luckily I too have 2fa activated via 2 different systems {SMS AND second Mail address). They cracked my randomly generated password - which doesn’t surprise me that much, brute force cracker are pretty effective nowadays.

What bums me is that I used this as an argument to teach a friend but he just used the same ol’ reliable “naah, I’m too lazy”. Can’t change him, just told him to think about using 2fa everywhere money is involved. The rest is up to him.

What’s also pretty bad from MS is that yes you can use several different mailadresses but no you can’t prevent that all of them can be used as login. One is compromised but also used for mail traffic so I can’t just delete it. But also can’t prevent it from logging in to the account. Thanks MS…

Stupidly just 12 random characters. I was too naive and hoped that’ll be it.

Holy shit is this badly done. Starting with no answers whatsoever, why unions are regarded as bad except for “but our customers and partners!” and then a huge load of infodump about potential signs…

I tried using Bixby to set a calendar entry in 30 days and it spiraled into the question when the entry should be set. After 3 minutes trying everything I could think of (explicit date/time etc) I stopped and created the entry within seconds manually…

These assistants are interesting, when they work properly… :/

Yeah true but I was curious what it could do. As it turned out… Not that much.

True that. I think it’s also due to the wakeup command you constantly have to say before stating what needs to be done. “Ok Google”, “Hey Bixby” etc aren’t that natural as just speaking.

But having voice controlled assistants who constantly listen to what you’re saying and act accordingly is another nightmare itself…

Like my office. We got new thinclients and someone who doesn’t know how the rest works decided that these clients have to lock the user out after one minute of inactivity.

Since I very often read articles or forum posts or are in remote sessions to get shown by a user what kind of issue they encounter, I constantly get booted out. I tried caffeine and it doesn’t work. So now I constantly have to tab ctrl… It’s very helpful when I’m reading…

It’s as fun as it sounds…
