Hey same I don't know why it doesn't work. I need to use my server's local IP when I connect from inside my house.

You can, the concern here is with people, not the specifications of SMS. People can be social engineered to give control of your phone number to someone else. It's happened before, it's not a hypothetical, and it's why security experts advise against using phone based methods.

That's semantics, the same insecurities apply to all telephone based methods. I personally wouldn't want my phone company's customer service to play any role in my online security. Even Microsoft wants people to stop using them.

There actually are lots of things it's been used for in addition to stealing 2FA codes. SMS based 2FA is better than no 2FA at all, but it's insecure and not recommended to be used when dedicated authenticators are available instead. The NIST has warned against their use since 2016.

One is much easier to accomplish than the other and doesn't give the target the same chance to realize something is going on.

Right but the point they're making is it's a lot easier for a third party to intercept a code that has to be sent to you than it is for them to get the code from an authenticator app since they're generated on your device. At that point you pretty much need physical access to the phone.

Sorry, this is a bad take. It might be annoying but the security 2FA offers is better in every way.

I will happily confuse anything with a capybara. Need more wasserschwein in my life.

When did Unity as a company get so bad? I remember a time when the engine had a poor reputation for things like "looking worse than Unreal" but I feel like the company has been making a lot of terrible moves lately that I never heard anything comparable to back then.

I got a good deal on a Fold 4 and it's been great. It's literally a tablet in your pocket and with multi-window it's about as capable as a PC for most tasks. Having such a large screen and 2-3 apps open at once is great whenever you're trying to get anything done.

Before the Fold though, I also had the Oneplus 7 Pro and I think that phone still looks more modern than anything else I see out there today because of the uninterrupted notch-less display. If they didn't give it up for a hole-punch on the 8 I would have probably stuck with them.

Maybe you can find something here I can't, but I looked through the revision history and I don't see anything particularly notable going on with the page other than the island has a kinda funny name.
