Visa Gives People a New Reason to Not Use Visa

Pretty slick

Do it

That's the solution I picked at work. Refused to install that Microsoft software on my personal phone, but instead provided a phone number.

If you have a VoIP provider you could even try to the VoIP number for MFA instead of providing your real mobile number.

If IT make a comment about you not having the app, ask if they intend to provide a company device for that.

If the company cared, they would provide MFA hardware like Yubikeys to their employees.

124 countries isn't nothing. The list include countries from all continents, many Europeans and African countries, Australia, Canada, Mexico, ... . Being under an arrest warrant which applies in all 124 countries would be a major pain, even if USA & China & Russia are missing from that list.

The commission said 29 people have so far filed to run for the presidency. But after today's decision, Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.

Not just this anti-war candidate. It appears all candidates are banned from challenging Putin.

I hate HP's so called smart apps.

HP's website wouldn't let me download a driver, but insisted on using their app to detect the printer model (which I already know) and then try to open the corresponding download page for that model (which I already vsited).

Off course the app open the wrong URL and lead to a 404 error. I had to download drivers from another source.

This comes after an order to evacuate a city with >0.7 million inhabitants within 24h without preparation, with broken infrastructure and broken government, with a treat of invasion.

There's no way this happen without panic, and without people being left behind.

I fear we're going to hear more horrific stories as the dust settles.

I wish more publishers and creators could move away from YouTube, and stop relying (indirectly) on YouTube's targeted ads.

There's no silver bullet today, but a mix of alternative platforms (PeerTube, Nebula, Patreon...) and different way to get a revenue (subscription, donations, sponsors and non-targetted ad segments). I believe no alternative solution is feature-complete yet. Hopefully viewers will put some resources on alternatives, not just on AdBlock technologies, and follow creators who move away from YouTube.

The video includes an ad near the end. Like most video on YouTube, its creator rely on sponsors. Unfortunately they also placed the same ad at the beginning of the description. It's kind of repulsive if the first thing you look at is the description.

I wish I could scrub or remove the ad from the description, but it's automatically imported and I don't see how to remove it.

That's promising. If this reduces the R value by 30%, then generalizing this may have a compounding effect and could reduce an epidemy's overall size by more than 30%.
