"I tap, therefore I am"

"Thank you for making a simple door very happy."

earned -> learned

Nobody earned anything. The business model is still the same:

while(! backlash) {do_something_worse();}

That is what the discussion is about. It is not the user who loads they key, but Microsoft.

This is such nonsense. Overtime works for incidental cases, not structurally. If you work one or two days overtime, it might help with completing a job that could otherwise not be done. After that, the productivity falls back to normal due to fatigue creeping in. After a week, a 70 our week is as productive as a 40 hour one, at best.

You install the TOTP app on your phone, and use that to provide the code for logging in to the PC or laptop. This way, it is a truly extra factor.

I don't know anything about GoogleSQL, but in standard SQL I would use string quotes around GoogleSQL, not identifier quotes.

And above all, let's START the story. Because it was Bill Gates who was proud that MS-DOS was the most copied OS in the world, even though there was PC-DOS. Only later he reframed his free marketing as "piracy".

Off course you can. It only requires the creation of a shared secret and a standard TOTP app. In fact, all internet connected TOTP apps should be encountered with the utmost distrust. Or a yubikey. Or a USB drive with a key. Or ...

Greenland is fine, for now.

But... but... but... Europe must have a bubble too! Because otherwise, where are they going to find another excuse to burn more fossil fuels?

Sorry I have to explain the joke here. An Xstation is a graphical terminal device from the 80s. It features a monitor, keyboard, mouse, network card and graphical card. It existed because in that days hardware was expensive, and sharing RAM and processor time between multiple users was a wise idea. When Elon Musk bought twitter, the new logo closely resembled the old X logo from the Xstations. The graphical protocol is now called X11 because, well, time has moved on. X11 is now slowly replaced with Wayland on some systems. The whole X protocol is the reason that unix machines can be graphically connected to over, for example, an SSH tunnel, without any trouble.

Given that this is called an Xstation, I would suspect Elon Musk would have come up with the idea.

Even then, there are too many state actors who would want to disrupt internet connectivity in Europe. Keep It Simple and Stupid is actually a good strategy. Off course, it is also nice that no institution monitors everything you pay for, and can deny payments at any time.
