AI PROBLEMS Krebs on Security: Hackers Used Meta's AI Support Bot to Seize Instagram Accounts. "A video released on Telegram by pro-Iran hackers claimed to document a remarkably simple exploit that appears […]

So, instead of talking up 2FA, today I'll let this cute parrot just show you instead:

Your password is that first food cover. Two-factor authentication is the second. With just one cover, your meal gets eaten by the parrot. With two, your food is still yours to enjoy.
Setting up two-factor authentication can be as easy as dropping that second cover over the dish, by the way. You can use something you already own—your phone or tablet—to set up at least one 2FA method. I recommend using a dedicated app like Bitwarden Authenticator or Authy as the best balance between security and convenience.
That said, with a bird that cute, I'd probably share
Yeah, this is a strange one. In terms of form factor, the whole 2.1 unit is basically a boom box or perhaps an especially large speaker bar. That bottom section houses a pair of 52mm drivers and a 100mm woofer, a 60-watt amp, and a pair of passive radiators. Up top is a 2.8-inch screen over the area where a "CPU" would be if this was a PC (again, this is not a PC), and various blocks and LED-bedecked sections roughly mimic RAM DIMMs, SSDs, fans, and GPUs sitting on top of a motherboard. Those things that look like coolant lines are, allegedly, braided speaker cables.
One of the best things about Starlink is how normal it feels. Once you get it set up, it behaves just like regular internet: it's fast, effective, and perfectly suitable for gaming and other latency-sensitive tasks.
No, Starlink isn't right for everyone. But it is good for what it is! In fact, here are some of the ways I find it even better than conventional home broadband internet (including ADSL, cable, and fiber).
