Does Reddit require sms verification? The last time I made an account it didn't even require a valid email (but you got the "validated email" badge if you did it)

I think it's uncharitable to jump to the conclusion that just because there was a config-based outage they don't do phased config rollouts. And even more uncharitable to compare th…

Can you not just physically disconnect or shield the network antenna (assuming you own the car outright, i suppose if it's financed it might be trickier to do that legally)?

I wonder if there's a marketplace or active efforts for bad actors to buy popular vscode extensions so that they can inject malware into formerly trusted extensions? If you have a …
