Comment Re:Go fuck yourself, youtube (Score 1) 205

For me, it's not so much the ads that bother me, it's the fact that algorithm gaming is to the point where all videos are converging on a particular style that is insufferable. I just steer clear. There is never really anything that I want on YT all that badly. The youths can have it. I will stick to RTFM like the old that I am.

So... the money goes into an uninsured motorist fund which is then doled out to the insurance companies (after various state agencies get a cut) for the requirement to pay out for uninsured drivers. I was ready to be angry about this, but it makes a certain amount of sense... Though, I am not sure why the DMV gets to keep any percentage of that money let alone a huge percentage.

There is a lot of value in re-runs because people go through different phases of life and extract different value out of previously seen TV shows.

It's not just nostalgia (though that is some of it).

I feel that the fragmentation of the streaming world has really driven a lot of the return to the "known" rather than constantly trying to figure out what new things are out there.

There is also a lot of '70s and early '80s series that I never watched because I was too young at the time to appreciate them. For example, I have learned that I REALLY LOVE Columbo and The Rockford Files.

It's also fun to rewatch the old McGuyver episodes for the camp and references I missed as child.

I am also watching Love Boat with my wife and really enjoying it.

The fact that Apple isn't using a number matching scheme on their MFA prompts is pretty stupid. Especially since they bill themselves as more secure than the alternatives.

Microsoft has been using number matching schemes in their MFA prompts for years AFAIK. In our org, I enforce the version that requires the user to enter the number they are seeing on the screen rather than choosing from a list of 3. It will also show the GPS coords in the form of a map pin on every attempt so the user can see where the authentication attempt is being made from.
