you could (maybe still can?) connect your real life military ID to the game, and get a special badge representing your IRL rank

Note that these switches mainly trigger a magnetic sensor to switch the power to the camera

It’s not physically disconnecting it.

And in theory you can move the bezel away from the display a bit to activate the camera, if you have physical access (although you’d probably notice if something bulges the bezel)

My steam account is from September 2003. A couple weeks after its launch

CS 1.6 and generally HL1 and mods were the first (replacing WON for multiplayer matching)

I remember downloading it bundled with CS 1.6 - with the download being behind a queing system, so the servers weren’t overloaded.

was in the queue for a day and the download took over night

My account turned 21 a couple months ago. They really should just go “yeah, it’s fine” and don’t ask

yeah, proton is amazing.

I’m using linux for 17 years or so, and just kept my gaming rig as my only windows machine.

Gaming on linux was super hit or miss. Sometimes wine (at its forks) worked nicely, sometime it was unusable.

It got a LOT better when everyone started using unity and unreal, as they have native linux compatibility, but proton now closed the gap nicely

Converted one of my gaming PC SSDs to a Linux disk. and I’m so amazed how well it just works with proton.

When a have some time I’m going to fully convert it to Linux, with a small Windows VM for the 1-2 tools I sometimes need

Finally. The year of Windows on the desktop is upon us

I mean, it makes it a little better, but I’d still be annoyed by it just being 10 bucks.

They might as well not do it. I’d be more insulted than a boss throwing a pizza party

Good. I heard being ionized can be bad for your health

After the lawsuits, it might be all they can afford

Should be noted that paradox was just publishing it, not developing

I always like to add The little ssh that sometimes couldn’t to the mix

tbf, that’s a bit on you. The whole point of 2FA is to prove that you are you. and if you completely killed that factor without deactivating it first or having a backup in any way, I can see the support not doing much. I’d be pissed if someone could just contact support and deactivate my 2FA method

do you have the backup codes somewhere? Could help

Are they finally showing a proper QR code when setting it up?

At least that was the case for me. I removed 2FA to make the authy key invalid and activated it again. and they do the normal TOTP setup stuff during setup

thx. just making sure. I already saw a lot of people annoyed about a specific app, just because that was the one being advertised, but in the end it was TOTP

Are you sure that you can’t use a different TOTP generator? There’s a difference between telling you to use Authy and still being able to use a different app

and only through that garbage authy

you can use any TOTP app. I use bitwarden

which ones are that? I’d love to check, because afaik, they have a feature that enables push-2fa via authy, but should generally work on other apps as well

me giving, let’s say, twitch my phone number gives them exactly 0 ways of tracking me in any way whatsoever

Source: worked for a mobile company

true. But I think that’s mostly to make bots harder to create. Not as easy to get a phone number than an email address

twitch has TOTP

how would they track you?

The reason they want a phone number is, that it’s a relatively cheap way to ensure people not signing up bots galore, as getting phone numbers en masse is a lot harder than getting email accounts

Like why on earth do I need two different authenticator apps on my phone (authy&google authenticator)?

you… don’t?

Both of these implement exactly the same protocol (TOTP). Used authy for all my Top Of The Pops Time-based one-time password needs exclusively, before moving everything to bitwarden

I always wanted to start a let’s play channel where a just play a random game from my libraryb every time. I have so many I never even touched
