> Andreas seems to be such a nice, humble guy.

Truer words have never been spoken!

His monthly update videos are so soothing to watch.

> "Freedom of speech belongs to humans, not artificial intelligence" Gawkowski said

Wow, I never imagined I'd come across this sentence outside a sci-fi story.

> absolutely zero reason

A prevailing theory is that advanced users opt out of telemetry, where as regular users don't. So Microsoft has no idea what advanced users use and the OS gradually becomes less sophisticated.

Because doing this reduces the 2FA into 1FA (i.e. there is no longer a possession factor).

Mine is very similar (fortune -c | cowsay -f tux)

I don't think I've ever seen a cookie repeat in over 10 years, but it might just be my poor memory

A physical OEM USB dongle on PC side, whether Bluetooth or not, and an On/Off switch on the peripheral side would have certainly prevented the issue in discussion.

> How do you go about managing your photos?

1. Saved all Photos in PC directories as follows: $HOME/Pictures/<YYYYMMDD - Event>

2. Ensured '$HOME/Pictures' is regularly backed up to at-least one more disk.

3. Just use the File Manager (with Thumbnails) & Image Viewer to view the Photos.

> Does it feel like digital clutter?

No, not one bit.

> How do you approach memory making through photos?

Capture as many as possible, delete duplicates/similar. Retain good ones.

People who get existential crisis out of this can find relief in the fact that the Universe can expand faster than the decay. So, it is possible that decay never reaches your region of Space.

> cost of writing after a snapshot is the same as before the snapshot

I didn't understand this, could you please clarify?

If there was no snapshot, there would be only one write operation, the actual write. However, with snapshot in place, in addition to actual write, there is a copy operation which copies the original data and writes to snapshot location. So, there should be two write operations (actual + copy).

The entire OS being declarative. You tell it what is required, not how to do it, as in other OS.

> if you have two separate apps under two different passwords

If you have two different passwords, aren't they still only one factor (knowledge)?

> specially if you have...

You mean to say in case the password and the TOTP seed are stored in the same password manager, then it is no longer 2FA?

> PCI DSS 4.0 has this phrase...

Oh, ok. This is very convincing. Thanks for sharing.

> I'm going off the assumption that you mean storing your password and TOTP secret in the same app.

Yes, correct.

> So my long-winded answer is that I do still consider it two factor auth.

Ok, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
