My guess is they tried to write "hippa" and it autocorrected, because it's "HIPAA"

It's been a long time since I set it up, but I have Microsoft accounts in my usual TOTP app (Aegis). Maybe I did it manually? But it's definitely possible.

I haven't used it personally, I think Tailscale would help here. It sounds like it doesn't require port forwarding, and uses Wireguard under the covers.

I've never heard of YumoHost, but I don't get why preventing upgrades to an application deemed to have "issues" makes sense. If it has issues, wouldn't you want to upgrade it when the issues are fixed?

Another option is the truSDX (https://dl2man.de). You can get software for the PC that will route audio over CAT so you can do it with just a USB cable. The FT8CN Android app also supports it natively.

One of the great things about Linux is that you can almost always just run whatever distro from the USB drive before installing (and just reboot without the USB drive to get back into Windows) So you can download a few ISOs and try each one for a bit before committing to anything.

This is nice if there's anything specific that you need to work, you can try it and make sure it's usable for you before making any permanent changes.

For example, I'm legally blind and use a screen magnifier. I tried a few distros to compare the built-in magnifiers before settling on one.

I'd also recommend using Ventoy on your USB. That lets you just plop ISO files on the drive and choose which one at boot.

Seconded. I like the episodes about pen testers. It's so interesting how so many business are super easy to hack into or physically break into and gain access to their networks and other sensitive info.

I'm guessing it'd be cheaper for MS to just keep providing security updates for Win10 than to create a whole Linux distro...

Like in your pocket? I keep a battery bank in my work backpack but that's about it.

Could get a clock with a backup battery.

I usually just use high power. I should try this sometime, although I don't tend to have issues with stuff having cold spots. Something I think that helps is stirring stuff half way through and letting it sit for a min after it's done.

I'd like to get a 3D printer but I live in a 1br apartment so I don't have a great place to put it. I might be able to make space in the living room or bedroom but I'm a little leery of health concerns (seems like a bad idea to have something that's melting plastic right where I'm sleeping or eating, is rather have it in a garage or basement or something)
