I'll be the first to admit that it's reductive, but I can't help but think of this every time anyone brings up a single unified standard, no matter the technology.

I'm just here to satisfy my confirmation bias, but my question all along has been this: how does Meta simultaneously satisfy their claims of both E2EE and content moderation on WhatsApp? I can't say that I've done anything even close to a deep dive on the topic, but those two things seem mutually exclusive.

Requiring the use of their own app is only marginally better than not supporting it at all. I try to minimize the number of apps pn my phone, and banking apps are prime examples of a use case that can be completely fulfilled in a browser. Even if I used the app, I would prefer to be prompted for non-biomotric MFA each time I sign in anyway.

For the love of God, someone inform Citibank and Chase of this. My dinky little local credit union allows me to use TOTP, but Citi and Chase still only seem to support SMS.

It came out of retirement for the last election.

I dont see it mentioned here, but I went with a 75" Spectre earlier this year. I had a 40" Spectre that was given to me third- hand, and I only replaced it because it was too small for the new place I moved into. Spectre doesn't seem to even offer smart TV, and I wanted to support that decision. The only potential downside that you may see is the lack of a 4k offering, but that wasn't something I care about.

I found this, but I'm still working out the oma-uri stuff. Very much not my forte, but maybe this will help you.

This is great! Now to figure out how to do this by policy. I've been banging my head into so many walls during the past 2 days, trying to figure out if Mozilla has an .admx that will allow me to turn this off for devices via CSP, or via custom OMA-URI.

Spectre makes a line of dumb TVs, but I don't think any of them are 4k. I spent about $600 on a 75" 1080p model last year.

To add onto the phone section: (1) Disable any biometric authentication, and (2) turn/keep it off whenever there's a chance that it will be siezed.

  1. While the first amendment protects you from being required to give up your phone's pass code, there's no protection against someone just holding the phone up to your face or fingerprints to unlock it.

  2. While your phone is never totally impenetrable, it is significantly harder to access in its BFU state (before first unlock). Most commercially available cracking tools will only work if the phone is in it's AFU state (after first unlock).

Sideways T gang unite!

Maybe we should come up with a better name before we print the shirts.

If you end up going in the Godot direction, a friend of mine has some useful tools to easily get started on animation rigging and controllers here.

He got started a couple years ago with no game dev experience, and he's done a couple of game jams recently, but most of his time has been spent building workflow tools. A couple months ago he finally got around working on one of the original games that he's wanted to make since he started.
