I hope we're all on the same page here.

There's a password for Facebook.
There is 2FA / Authenticator support if you want it. You can put a code in EACH TIME.
Facebook will "detect" logins from a new location and make you go through all the bullshit to prove you're you.
And now a PIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not just a four digit pin. Hahaha no. Five digits!

Maybe they can improve it even more with a FORTY DIGIT PIN??

Yeah I was about to say when I set up VR stuff for the first time recently I don’t recall any sort of 5 digit pin (I usually just add a zero if I must. PSO2 had 5 digit codes.)

Though I don’t really use Facebook. My acct was created when I logged into Messenger and created an account linked to Google about a year ago.

The pin is a one time thing to ensure that the same person is using FB and FB Messenger. They enabled it when they turned on encryption for all messages.

And it's five digits. Of course. Aside from the stupidity of this in general, a 5 number PIN is UNLIKE EVERY OTHER FUCKING PIN I USE.

Jesus fucking Christ, Zuckerberg. Die screaming in a fire. Do you honestly fucking think I'm entering a goddamn PIN every time I want to list something on Facebook? Great, I'll make it 1-1-1-1-1. I'm sure that's allowed. Here we go.

FWIW, there are a few "big players" in the sports website management world. Its not just for 4 year olds.The same websites are used for old men too. LeagueApps and SportsNgin are the two that come to mind. There's a lot of money in these sports. The security is appropriate. You'll get used to it. :)

Probably not. I also wanted to make sure I got aisle seats. Ended up going through StubHub.

The website that I have to use to sign Wyatt up for tee ball does the thing where it pretends to send you a password reset email if you put an email address in the form, even if you aren't registered.

They also implemented 2FA and demand it be used, it isn't optional.

You used to be able to search Steam by release date and look at the oldest games released by going to the last page. In other words - you search by the CRPG tag, then sort by release date.... go to page 200 or whatever and see what got released first.

Can't do it any more because some genius designer over there heard about Infinite Scroll and made them implement it. Great work. Eliminate function for no benefit. Designers chasing what some dipshit dev created ruins applications.

My laptop will not switch to a resolution lower than 2560 x 1440. To make anything remotely readable I had to change the zoom lever in Windows to 150%, which breaks multiple applications. It literally changes the pointer in Photoshop to digital garbage and the point where it things the cursor is doesn't line up. I was able to hook up a second monitor which goes down to 1080p, but the zoom level applies to both monitors so everything on the external one is too big and everything on the laptop is too small.

I used to do the print/sign/scan thing 10 years ago. It's annoying. I went to a print store to digitize my signature. They sent me a PNG that I can simply copy and paste.

I bought that $150. Brother laser printer a few years ago and haven't had any issues at all. Well worth the price

I gotta be honest... I like the subscription thing.

I pay HP $1.79 per month. Under $43 per year. I get to print 15 pages per month (which is plenty, other than when I do my taxes). Whatever I dont use every month, I can carryover to the following month, up to 45 pages total.

When any of my cartridges get low, a new one magically shows up in the mail. I replace it, put the old one in a prepaid envelope, and drop it in the mail.

Now, I dont know if I'm ahead of the game or not. But I DO know that I've never gone to print something, realized that I had a empty(ish) cartridge, and had to make a late night run to Best Buy to overpay for an ink cartridge.

ICJ, do you not have any FedEx/Kinkos locations nearby? Log in, upload, pick it up in minutes.
