  1. You'll have to ask Google! There are lots of videos about this and... you can prove it to yourself!
  2. Um, actually SMS stands for Short Messaging Service and has nothing to do with authentication. (MMS is its bigger brother and stands for Multimedia Messaging Service). There are several ways to implement 2FA which the most common being a texted PIN and having to use an Authenticator app.
  3. Reminds me of the video (that I'm too tired to go look for) where a guy has both Siri and Alexa in the same room. He asks Siri when it thinks of Alexa and it responds with "I think she's very nice." Then, across the room, Alexa replies with "Thanks!" I'm sure that having devices that are listening 24/7 would never be used by certain entities for nefarious purposes though. "Alexa: Tie my shoes!" Alexa: "You're not wearing shoes right now..."
  4. Isn't this exactly what 53mph said happened to him? ?
  5. High winds knocked out our power for about 80 minutes. It's events like that that make you question whether it's a good thing for everything to require an app!
  6. I used all those tools (in conjunction with Cakewalk) and thought they were all awesome! Definitely some memories...
  7. Here's one! https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Password-Reset-Drive-Server/dp/B0CH5BKFMR#:~:text=[COMPATIBILITY] Red Key USB will,system or lose any data.
  8. Even better, get one of the thumb drives that all us IT consulting geeks have! All you do is go into the BIOS during bootup, select boot from USB, insert the thumb drive and... once it boots up you can wipe out the Admin password (plus other stuff!). I've used mine a few times when a customer fires an employee but can't get into their password-protected computer or laptop. Definitely better than having to reinstall Windows! I'll have to find mine and get the brand. In the meantime, I'll try to remember where I bought it!
  9. Because this forum apparently does! ? Couldn't add frivolous content for over an hour today! ?
