Also google when scammers want to advertise, vs when a real, one-person-business is trying to get off the ground.

ASK ME HOW I KNOW

Seriously, what's up with the amount of scam/phishing ads on Google lately? Seems like they stopped moderating it altogether. Seeing AI generated president of my country pushing for crypto scams on Google news feed is something else, and after a report google straight up said "This does not break our ToS"

I couldn’t use Safe Mode to diagnose my driver problem on Windows 11 because it said I couldn’t sign in due to security reasons.

I’m not paraphrasing. It just told me because reasons. Because obviously I’m too dumb to understand. Right there at the login screen, as if they never even tested this feature once.

Don’t think it’ll be Windows that I’m going to reinstall this time.

I guarantee it was because of bitlocker and if you read the instructions on how to retrieve the key it would've worked fine

Hi, I wanted to follow up and let readers know that I solved the problem. The root cause was the SSD firmware needed to be upgraded. I never would’ve guessed that was the cause, but apparently over the past year there were a bunch of WD Black SSDs that have problems on Windows unless they receive a patch.

This is the actual login screen. Not the bit locker recovery screen. Thus, the drive has already been unlocked.

It relates to how they use the TPM and Windows hello. It appears to be known issue, but without great solutions online.

The best part is after my fifth or sixth attempt, it said I had to wait two hours before I could try to log into the PC again. In Safe Mode.

You know, the mode where you might be trying to debug something. Thus, restarting the machine more often than you normally would.

Windows is just a hostile OS now. The only explanation for its dominance now is mass Stockholm syndrome.

Gonna need you to open the YouTube app on the iPad you left at your mom's house a few weeks ago and tap "Yes, its me."

We track it's location, so we know it's at your mom's place a few states away, and yeah, we could send the notification to the phone that's sitting right next to you (we track its location too) but that would be a little too easy on you. And lets face it, if we wanted this to be easy, we'd just let you use the Google Authenticator 2FA we had you set up a few years ago and skip all this nonsense. But that's not how we roll.

Hugs n kisses, Google

It's cheaper to do the very bare minimum security to stop hackers. The fines are worth less than the amount of money they can still make off your account. Same reason why you can see full-on pornography ads but you say "damn" once within the first minute and your whole channel gets nuked.

Tell me you don't use mfa and that your password is garbage, without saying you don't use mfa and that your password is garbage

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I use really shitty passwords but never have an issue because no one is out there spoofing my phone number somehow or getting access to the 2 factor app.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

Or use a password manager and strong unique passwords everywhere. It's really not that hard. Just disable everything built into browsers and OS and use a good third-party platform like Bitwarden.

Honestly it's easier than remembering one weak password (and then being to change it every 3 months for your bank and every 4 months for your utilities...)

Then you can store your passkeys in Bitwarden boom they are on all devices.

Fuck Google.

As funny as this is ~ my experience has always been that Google generally does do a great job on security.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Googles Passkey is one of the easiest things to use in the world.

I really wish there was an opensource Social Auth option that was, ya know, actually used. I hate logging into my Google account, but likely for different reasons than op is stating.
