@Boni2k I purchased bike control's pro subscription for 2.99 per month via google playstore and logged in with my gmail in the app too.
But the app is still denying me any pro features. Why? My app version is 5.1.1 on pixel 10 pro

@nanoleaf Chasing your support team for return label on my order 141831EU (support ticket 120972). My experience of nanoleaf is a never ending series of unfortunate events. Your product & support has wasted a lot of my time. At least, give me a return label & issue full refund.

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

@ingnl Dear ING,
Please be kind to your expat customers and share the information in English too. I know GPTs and translation tools exists. But it's a hassle to use them and never without a doubt of "lost-in-translation" for critical financial information.

Hey @tweakers with all the historic data on pricing from vendors & stores, when do you think https://t.co/5smNpCDR76 Bot/AI can show:
1. Likely price drops in future
2. "True" cost of an item as a reference line
3. Optimize user's time & budget to better time a PC build

@ZiggoWebcare I am still learning my Dutch, cannot understand your IVR menu on customer support number 0900-1884
Which number to call for an English IVR or is there any direct access code to reach a human operator?

कुछ लोग कहेंगे ये देश को बदनाम करने वाला वीडियो है। हो सकता है कोई इन्हें झूठा भी साबित करने की कोशिश करे। ये अच्छा बोलने का युग है, सच्चा बोलने का नहीं।

बाक़ी क्या है - तालियाँ, महिमा-मण्डन, और नारेबाज़ी रुकनी नहीं चाहिए, ख़ास कर के विदेशी यात्रा और न्यूज़ TV पर।

Hey @MicrosoftEdge can you give me a keyboard shortcut to toggle translations?
It is a chore to find tiny toggle translation icon, tucked away on the address bar at the moment.

Google has just updated its 2FA Authenticator app and added a much-needed feature: the ability to sync secrets across devices.

TL;DR: Don't turn it on.

The new update allows users to sign in with their Google Account and sync 2FA secrets across their iOS and Android devices.

We analyzed the network traffic when the app syncs the secrets, and it turns out the traffic is not end-to-end encrypted. As shown in the screenshots, this means that Google can see the secrets, likely even while they’re stored on their servers. There is no option to add a passphrase to protect the secrets, to make them accessible only by the user.

Why is this bad?

Every 2FA QR code contains a secret, or a seed, that’s used to generate the one-time codes. If someone else knows the secret, they can generate the same one-time codes and defeat 2FA protections. So, if there’s ever a data breach or if someone obtains access to your Google Account, all of your 2FA secrets would be compromised.

Also, 2FA QR codes typically contain other information such as account name and the name of the service (e.g. Twitter, Amazon, etc). Since Google can see all this data, it knows which online services you use, and could potentially use this information for personalized ads.

Surprisingly, Google data exports do not include the 2FA secrets that are stored in the user's Google Account. We downloaded all the data associated with the Google account we used, and we found no traces of the 2FA secrets.

The bottom line: although syncing 2FA secrets across devices is convenient, it comes at the expense of your privacy. Fortunately, Google Authenticator still offers the option to use the app without signing in or syncing secrets. We recommend using the app without the new syncing feature for now.

ना पढ़ा लिखा होना कोई अपराध नहीं है, और ना ही कोई शर्म की बात है। लेकिन हलफनामा देकर झूठ बोलना कि मैंने BA और MA. "एनटायर पॉलिटिकल साइंस" में किया है, यह जरूर अपराध है, और शर्म की बात है।
उसके बाद अपनी कथित डिग्री देश की जनता से छुपाना, तो अत्यंत शर्म की बात है।
