There still need to be people to go in and arrest them, and meat is cheaper than motors and hydraulics using resources that would otherwise remain unexploited.

A lot of the technology you use to connect over VPNs or over the Internet already addresses MitM. If it's typo-squatted, you are sort of using password managers wrong. You do have the option of setting up TOTP elsewhere like on your phone authenticator so the point of failure isn't on your side, I just think it's sort of funny how easily you can make it be one.

If you can get at a password by hacking a website, I wouldn't be holding out hope that they couldn't then steal the TOTP secret.

If the site is compromised, then the hackers could have stolen the TOTP secrets as well as the passwords. How do you think the site verifies TOTP codes? If you reuse passwords while using a password manager, you are asking for it, though.

On the other end, there is an excessive use of 2FA with systems for whom the concept of SSO seems to be a foreign thing. It's also sort of funny that 2FA can just mean using a TOTP capable password manager, reverting it back to one factor.

That's the chant, what they are really doing is playing futures on trying to eliminate the consumer market over the much more profitable service market. For that, they need to reserve data centers near you, they need to make it impossible for you, your business, and your schools to get decent PCs, and they have an actual use for all the memory and processing power they are hoarding. Oh, and you will pay for the AI bubble popping while they "make it up to us by reworking AI infrastructure into cheap cloud services" whose benefit to us will be replaced by pure profit for them in a few decades from when it happens.

Disable your laptop webcam and microphone, use headset instead. I’ll be looking to see if I can switch to Teams web.
I remember how a subcontractor’s company called me with a lot of private information I assume the subcontractor had spoken to them about. The subcontractor had no clue about it, which completely changed how I had been perceiving the situation. The problem is companies are using the excuse of keeping tabs on their workers to perform outright continuous surveillance on them and try to see how they can exploit any and all information they can salvage for their benefit, which becomes a problem when there is no clear division between personal and professional space.

That’s the beauty of downvotes: no f-ing context on why people disagree with you or if they even do and are just holding a vendetta from somewhere else, since they aren’t forced to indicate why.
The account enjoys making a lot of very questionably inconsistent downvotes over their far fewer upvotes and even comments their own suggestion on how to sabotage Flock surveillance cameras in the thread yet doesn’t seem to be an edgelord in their own comments, so who knows. Unlike upvoting, where you presumably agree with a comment, downvoting provides no context as you have no clue why or how much they disagreed with something. Presumably the statement was too simplistic to resonate with their refined tastes, which to avoid the downvote should presumably have been stated with the collection of words they would favor as an argument, if they ever bothered to make it.

This was the latest from Huffman: npr.org/…/reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-its-time-we-gr…
Basically, rather than focus on quality, they just shifted to the same subjective engagement bait that also happens to be easy to manipulate on the backend and almost impossible to prove that’s plaguing all major social networks. It’s easy to see too, they let major subs go to hell by letting special interests and the power hungry just go nuts, and they now only show up if you really search for them. Do things like adding a sub like r/conservative, and the whole world view it feeds you is completely different and tailored by troll factories, bots, and the like. They are crowd sourcing propaganda bubbles just so they can feed off of the scraps.
