This is why I use Authy. It uses the same protocol as Google Authenticator, but you can run the app on multiple devices and also as a browser plugin. Being a cloud service itself, it does reduce security a teensy bit and requires one more secure password that isn’t 2FA-protected for chicken-and-egg reasons, but it’s…

I’ve got nothing against Win10 in theory, but I’ve got my reasons to keep Win7 on one specific laptop of mine until it dies.
A few months ago, I clicked on the “Upgrade Later” button when the annoying Win10 popup came to haunt me, and all of a sudden it started downloading and “preparing to install” Win10. Nothing I…

Obligatory:

I was going to say the same thing. They specifically share the same origin story, and a ton of TMNT is directly inspired by Daredevil. Hand/Foot, Stick/Splinter,... I tell ya, I was hoping to see a little boy with a bowl of turtles show up in the background of the flashback in the Netflix DD series.

Yeah I’m not sure how this has anything to do with the chip.

We just got an audit letter last week, because of the sale of our condo a few years ago. It was our “primary residence”, but the buyer filed paperwork because they were using it as a rental property, so the IRS said to us “you sold property and didn’t report it. This was $x00,000+ of gain. WTF?”

This app doesn't work for me on my (Verizon) Galaxy Note 3. Not sure what the "magic" is, but when I enable it and double-tap my power button, it just acts like the power button always acts. Touchwiz issue maybe? Or am I missing something? Does this require root?

I was really excited about NFC and Google Wallet way back during the early hype of the Galaxy Nexus, and then I never was able to use NFC for much of anything with that phone. It was definitely no credstick. :(

I use Nova Launcher (I have for years, through multiple phones), but the Accessibility Settings are still on the System level and unchanged. And when I go in there to enable any custom Accessibility feature, I get a popup that says "Enabling Talkback will disable the following blah blah blah". The first time I said…

Yes that looks like the issue. Whatever it is, it's still happening on my Note 3 and I'm not alone... *shrug*

Nope, it's lower level than the launcher. It's a system-level problem. I first discovered it personally when I tried to use LastPass's "autodetect password field" feature, and then started googling the issue.

Be forewarned that apps like this don't work so well with Samsung phones. There's a problem with TouchWiz + Accessibility services, sadly, which I don't think there's a fix for: Whenever you try and enable a custom Accessibility service on a TouchWiz phone, it also enables TalkBack and disables some other services.

I use GVoice purely for voicemail (forwarded from my main number), because I like the option to have hard copies of my voicemails and easily forward them to my wife etc.

Here's my recent discovery:

Right. And when my son is watching Netflix, I can take the remote with me and pause the video from the next room to get his attention.
