Do you mean pothole?

Keep boot live environment? You always carry USB? Learn security. Chroot?

You don't learn or understand modern bootc?

Does it matter?

Your friend using Android or iOS may have typed your exact address, phone, signal id, gps, etc on her Google/apple account. And now?

If you fly to use you are giving more info.

Are you running your own bank? Pepper are you? What happens when you join job (tons of papers?)

The is so rare. Such things can happen even with bank accounts (if you are a foreigner in many countries).

If you use your own Ubuntu/Debian or even RMS certified disro same can happen. An upgrade and you see only a xorg blinking cursor.

I would be surprised about that behavior even for 10% people doing real AI usable work. Very few people buy new motherboard or CPU or gfxcard every 3 months?

Even now just because the latest Anthropic is super great doesn't mean people are not using other models. Not everyone is subscribed to only the best.

True.

Another worse offender is gitlab. They send promotions hidden as a part of this is obligatory account related into telling blah blah and adding BTW see these extra features for more payments.

> Each of those has plenty of, arguably better, alternatives.

That's the incorrect premise - for that 50% that you hope to ditch.

Pixel phone is not inherently bad. One can even buy them second hand.

The information lock in from US is impossible to escape for majority of connected world citizens.

Perhaps DPRK.

I mean deGoogle/meta etc is almost impossible

In concept what you say is correct but reality is complex. There are very few providers that implement friction free login/password and importantly security. A large number of email providers didn't implement 2FA until very recently. Even those that have terrible apps, ad infested, no app password or oAuth etc. so many governments use MS hosted services.

It is akin to Visa/MasterCard duopoly. It is hard to escape but even if one does it then it resulted only inconvenience. I still don't have my cards in phone - neither will google change path nor will govts force a change.

> The marketing guys who made that decision urgently need to find another line of work, because literally a Labrador licking his

They already made money.

They know what works to make money by convincing CEO VP PM devs. I do hope they jump to the next company (please meta or apple) and do their duties.

IIRC, all these hardware exist. Software is not 100 % fine for them. The point is to have OS and password manager trust each other. Once this is done then all should work. That should allow for the browser to query the password manager for appropriate info. At the moment, password manager is poorly integrated onto OS.

I would assume google uses Android to just help get onboard chromeos (example: netflix app etc). You want android devs to handle the outside chrome. No thanks. Whether it is A11 or not a large majority does not care. It is only power enthusiasts that need latest A13 in chromebook. For the rest, not at all.

See they are learning a lesson from iOS. Keep tight control - at whatever cost. The same complaints about file management is there in iPad but devs have no option.

Please it is 'losing' not loosing.

Any of these large companies are like governments. Assume you complain to a Chinese or US or European that your govt does this bad/crazy/illogical thing.

how do they respond?

Do you think if you tell an engineer from John Deere that they have unethical practices the are going to complain in the next meeting? Or a Volkswagen person that does care about pollution but will be quiet.

They just look at pay checks.

Any complaints. they just shrug or chuckle ...

The teams are big and finally they cant get involved. IIRC, even spouses of Googlers cant get special access.

At the same time if they did manage to reset account/password/etc that would be the best way to circumvent security.

I guess could be that.

I too create a new chrome profile (and restarted my router) to get a different IP. (i.e) clean.

- Does this mean you are able to access emails but not change 2FA?

- If yes, do a take out ASAP.

- May be the backup codes are incorrect?

(Unless the machine learning folks on hn did some programming to prevent it!!!). For every one that complains about Google, I wonder how hn crowd pleasingly accepts pay check in the software industry.

since you told me I am using a I tried without 2FA code but with backup-code

> When I click the second link, I'm forced to reauthenticate.

Here, I am being asked my password.

Then get that page.

go to https://myaccount.google.com/security?hl=en

Then, https://myaccount.google.com/signinoptions/two-step-verifica...

There you can see Authenticator app.

(I am doing this on desktop. Not sure about phone)

I just tested this.

You should not disable 2FA.

- Just click on the Authenticator app

- Change Authenticator app

- https://ibb.co/dPCMpdN

Just works.
