I wanted to invent the tricorder. But I ended up just buying one for $20 for a Halloween costume.
My backup - work for Compaq, fix CD-ROMs, because lasers were going to be the future!
Oh, nineties US public school system, I am your progenitor. Tosh k'o Tosh... we die together.
I was at a bar once and this woman asked me what I did for a living. After I told her, she asked "Do you remember your dreams?" It really stunned me for a minute and I got pretty sad remembering what I wanted to be when I was growing up. I started to answer, and it turns out, she was just changing the subject and literally just wanted to know if I remember my dreams after I wake up in the morning. ๐ญ
If anyone still wants to know: the answer is astronaut
Google doesn't let you into your account with your security questions even if you have the password., not anymore. No phone, no email. Which makes email less useful as it has for 30 years been an alternate way to contact people when you don't have your phone, it gets lost, stolen, breaks, you lose service.
Fuck you google, never again, Graphene OS first chance.
Security questions are well known as one of the least secure forms of authentication
It's not about keeping your account secure it's about grabbing commercially valuable personal information they can profit from. If I want to use a phone verification it should be my choice. Never again, fuck all public corporation email sites.
You realize you can turn off 2-step verification in a Google account?
There are some sites/apps where multi-factor authentication is mandatory, but Google isn't one of them.
And yeah, I leave 2-step verification off for this reason. What if I lose my grip on my phone and it falls into a river? Losing my phone is bad enough; losing my Google account would make it even worse!
It's tragic when people are forced to give up on their dreams and become comedians just to survive.
