Yes, I used to use Authy but I’m not a big fan anymore.
But I don’t really know what to recommend instead. I would like something that works cross platform, is free, has good backup functionality, and is widely known.
A quick look at the recommendations from Privacy Guides show Aegis, which is only for Android, and Ente. Ente actually looks quite good, but I literally never heard of it until a few minutes ago, so I’m not sure if I’m ready to start recommending it.
Given how there’s 20k stars on their GitHub, I think it’s OK. Definitely better than Authy.
The company’s main focus seems to be their cloud photo storage, so technically “Ente” isn’t enough; it should be “Ente Auth” if it’s ever been recommended here.
Why would you want your codes to be exported by plaintext?
Is it the same browser extension I used?
I wasn’t talking about you. I know you use iPhone from the recently uploaded images. (And the fact you said you have an iPhone). I was talking about my Android 7 phone, which Authy doesn’t support.
Probably because Android 7 is outdated. It’s almost 9 years old, and Google themselves stopped supporting it in 2021. It no longer gets security updates, so it makes sense that Twilio doesn’t want Authy to support it anymore.
I know Android 7 is very outdated. I’m (slowly) working on getting Android 9 going, since 9 has more support. ZTE doesn’t support my phone anymore, so I have to work on my own build, since nobody else has a build that supports my phone.
I like Android 7 though. I wish Google didn’t discontinue the OS version, but they have to make their OS “better” and more Google-integrated, am I right?
There are two things I can think of happening there:
You had the page open, then hours later, scrolled down to load further posts, which then get a bigger time interval due to time having passed.
The topics were merged, and the posts of one topic were simply appended to the other topic instead of merged chronologically (that’s an option you can choose when merging).
Those can explain why does the timeline reversed, but not every new post being “8 hours ago”.
As I said I already figured it out, due to how Windows and Linux handle RTC time, once you booted into Linux then Windows, Windows woll display a time several hours off according to your timezone, which in my case, is exactly 8 hours. 8 hours slower to be exact, so all those times are actually negative, and that’s why it feels reversed.
In the middle of working on a WordPress extension, ChatGPT and I somehow got into a conversation about Land Rovers and Toyotas. AI loves to go off the walls sometimes.
I asked chatgpt about the exponential growth of ai data centers and the energy requirements / green house gasses from electricity generation to power these beasts and to predict how long we have before disaster !
I pulled out my UbuntuBook a few days ago, because I needed a small computer that’s smaller than my BlUbuntuBook, and I haven’t touched it in a bit.
After 365 package updates, I started using it like normal. Nothing wrong, except for the occasional “Your storage is almost full” message, but with only a 16GB SSD, I’m surprised it’s not full.
I have noticed something while I’ve been using my UbuntuBook. I keep the InfinityFree Forum tab open in the background of Firefox, and when something happens in the background (Notification, hearted post, new topic, etc.), my computer works as normal.
However, with my BlUbuntuBook, if the same thing happens, my computer freezes up for ~2 minutes. It’s so annoying, I have to keep a note to close the forum tab when I’m doone with my works.
I honestly don’t understand why. I use the same Ubuntu image (24.04.2), both Books carry 4GB of ram, only difference is storage and CPU. (Both carry Intel celery Celerons, but they are different models).
Tech is odd sometimes. Maybe my BlUbuntuBook needs a 6-month break.
Have you ever had technology that just acts weird?
