  • To add on, at my work we started getting yubikeys for the people who didnt want Microsoft’s authenticator on their phone and found they still need to download the mfa to set up the yubikey in the first place. So its not a perfect solution if you dont want the authenticator to touch your phone at all.

    I can also confirm that the help desk members who are not enlightened about Microsoft will ridicule you for not wanting the MFA even if its reasonable to not want Microsoft on your phone. As much as we think all techs are Linux nerds, I have the opposite at my work. Some of the higher up techs are constantly trying to get people to switch to windows 11…





  • Alright I’m gonna be the dude who replies to myself but I did some research and these prices are probably real. What’s crazy is they appear to be significantly lower than last years prices. Another important thing is that the formal menus mention the dishes being sized to serve 4 people. That makes it slightly more okay but also still ridiculous. This has to be inside the paddock or VIP areas though as I dont think they would even offer caviar to the peasants in the general admission.



  • Oh ive seen this before. This is one of those “manufacturing consent” type articles right? Seems like very weird timing for human rights watch to bring this up now, right after Iran and Israel have started facing off…

    Hopefully its just a case of trying to use the general buzz to get eyes on a specific issue but the timing is bad for optics considering they have been accused of being a propaganda tool in the past. At least the HRW has been covering Palestine in a largely positive light and not pulling punches. Now would probably be a good time for HRW to publish an article about how conflict in general is used to hide human rights violations.


  • R/ambien used to have some of my favorite posts of all time. There is one where a guy recorded himself staying up on his (legally prescribed) ambien with a go pro. Nothing too crazy happens but seeing his cognition decline and him just become a top tier lol so random bot was hilarious. He kept getting angry at all the statutes and cardboard cutouts in his house because he thought they were moving haha
