Fun fact: XXXFlower not the rapper is Chance the rapper's second cousin

It's not a request, it's a challenge.

As someone who usually loves the Battlefield games, I get where you're coming from. But for us, it's disappointing that the current version of a game we enjoy is so disappointing. Tragic perhaps in terms of the game itself and its fans. The greedy suits at the top can f right off though.

It'll take 20 hours. Unless it's harder than I thought. Or it's easier than I thought. Or it's exactly as hard as I thought except there's one little thing that I get stuck on for 5 hours.

Then what do you use for your password manager?

I've always been of the mindset that storing your 2fa next to your passwords at least partially defeats the purpose of 2fa.

The two types of attacks I worry about would be a hacked/leaked password from a third party site, or your password manager being compromised. While the latter is far less likely, it is still something I'd like to protect myself from as much as possible.

Am I doing it right?

I've tried emulating a couple switch games, the experience hasn't been great. Perhaps playable, but I'd rather use the first party hardware.

We're all NPC's in some grand simulation running on a server in a warehouse long forgotten about and abandoned by the gods.

Comments can also be useful for explaining what the code is intended to do when debugging.

"Hey this function says it should return the number of apples, but looks like someone, not saying who, but someone had a brain fart and typed oranges in one variable. Who wrote this code anyway?"

Past me sucks.

Know your school handbook and acceptable use policy inside and out. Same with any other published guidelines they provide. My bet is that their AUP says something about not circumventing their security and monitoring tools. Booting into a live OS would certainly fall into that category. But knowing what the rules actually say is probably the first thing you should do since you don't own the hardware or network. From there, you can decide how far you really want to go and if there are any defenses or loopholes in the rules.

Getting your own hardware is probably your best option in this case if you can do so.

Keep in mind that basic bots don't render or process certain page elements - like javascript. So VPN plus noScript/uBlock plus obscured data plus no preexisting cookies and possibly unique fingerprint from all your previous interactions (depending on your privacy settings)... It all adds to possible bot behavior. In my mind, getting caprcha'd is a good thing. It may mean google has low confidence that it knows who I am.

Tell that to anyone running a website with a pubic facing form - including register and login forms.

use Ublock Origin,

Yep. I have a blanket "block all Facebook" rule. A lot harder to gather info if your browser refuses to load data and scripts coming from their domains.

So does the algorithm apparently

It used to be way easier to get people to switch before they eliminated SMS. No idea why they thought getting rid if their key differentiating feature was a good idea.

Strict vs loose equality has gotten me so many times, but I can sort of see why they did it. The problem you mention with integers 0 & 1 is a major annoyance though. Like it is fairly common to check whether a variable is populated by using if (variable) {} - if the variable happens to be an integer, and that integer happens to be 0, loose quality will reflect that as false.

But on the other side, there have been plenty of occasions where I'm expecting a boolean to come from somewhere and instead the data is passed as a text string. "true" == true but "true" !== true
