Re:Apple Card launches today for all US customers

There’s a “make default at Apple” button in the card settings that I was able to use to accomplish that without copy/pasting. Weird they didn’t just ask during the setup process.

If you’re on T-Mobile, dial (not text) #662#. It will turn on scam block [1] which stops all calls that T-Mobile identifies as scams from making it to your phone or voicemail.

> powered only from the HDMI port
Looking at the marketing material, it’s clear Amazon is trying to make people think this and hope they’re not disappointed when they find out that, yes, they still have to plug it into the wall.
There’s only one tiny image on the product page [1] that shows the power cord coming out. Every other image is very careful to show it from an angle that makes it seem like the HDMI cable is the only cable.
There is text that mentions the power cable, but you have to scroll down pretty far (about 60% of the way down) before you’ll see it.

They did say to not enable Face ID if you have an "evil" twin, which is pretty jokey, but probably 100% true.

You have to turn off two-step verification first.

You're thinking of two-step verification [1]. I believe getting rid of the recovery key is part of the "more streamlined user experience" offered by two-factor authentication.

You ask the membership clerk of your ward for your membership number, which you use to upgrade your familysearch.org account to an LDS account. Then ancestry.com uses OAuth to get access to your familysearch account.

Amazon now has Cloud Player Premium[1], which is very similar to iTunes Match.
"Import your music collection - even music purchased from iTunes or ripped from CDs. All imported songs we match are instantly made available in Cloud Player and upgraded to high-quality 256 Kbps audio."

Re:MtGox account database leaked
on Sunday June 19, 2011 @08:09PM (#2672363)
I have received the following email 6 times, edited to remove referral code and Bitcoin address:
"Dear Sir or Madam,
A few hours ago the Bitcoin trading website Mt Gox has been hacked. Malicious individuals have been able to obtain a database containing usernames, email address and encrypted passwords. This information has been posted publicly on the internet.
As a Bitcoin supporter I'm now sending a message to every email address contained in the hacked database. This is to warn you that your username, email address and password have been leaked. I therefore strongly advice you to change your passwords. If you have used the same password on different websites it's highly recommended to change your password on all of your accounts!
For a more secure alternative to Mt Gox, the community appears to be moving to TradeHill. So this is no reason to lose faith in Bitcoin itself. It must be seen as a warning that not every website can be trusted with your data however! Their link is http://www.tradehill.com/?r=XXXXXXX (Note: You can remove the Referral Code when registering if you want!) This is certainly not the only website where you can exchange Bitcoins, also check out http://www.thebitcoinlist.com/dp_bitcoin/bitcoin-exchange/
Sincerely,
A Bitcoin supporter 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX7"
If the sender is reading this, your script works (too well), and the warning was received 2 1/2 hours after the one from Mt. Gox, so you probably should have saved yourself the trouble.
The From headers shows the email is sent from [email protected]. However, digging into the headers it is actually coming from [email protected] (trying to give the guy some privacy, since he's trying to be helpful, but this way others who get the message can correlate it).

I wonder if this means that the percentage of Android phones that can't sideload direct from the carrier is going to go up. From what I understand, T-mobile doesn't block that, but AT&T does.
