"You are sitting in a chair, IN THE SKY."
Try sharing photos you have in your iPhone while travelling to someone with a PC (I wasn't able to do it).
Also, don't forget the zip code or phone number boxes that have the format as a "placeholder" type text in the textboxes on mobile that repeatedly force your keyboard to reset so that they can format you phone number for you.
"I don't keep any cookies or browse history" Why not? "I get the numeric code sent to me. I go to Google Voice on my computer" This seems like it defeats the purpose of 2FA. Am I wrong? Isn't 2FA supposed to work by proving that you own a device for which it was set up on? "always download all the images made by Google Charts because that service will die at some point" Probably. If it matters to you, learn some Java…
"This seems like it defeats the purpose of 2FA. Am I wrong? Isn't 2FA supposed to work by proving that you own a device for which it was set up on?" The bug is in the design of 2FA. Sooner or later Google will get rid of GV and I'll just move to another provider to front-end my SMS spam instead of sending it to my phone. The other failure mode is best displayed by my bank not realizing their site is accessible via mo…
So using a password and the SMS on the phone is still 2FA as far as I know.
However, I also consider my home PC to be safe enough that I don't want 2FA on it. Nope, banks apparently don't want to waste money on considering this user story. Or that what about registering multiple tokens/phone numbers. Got a new phone? Just burn the old one, you can't have backup login methods!

Upvote for "never rely on a service that you don't pay for"; I think that idea needs to be said out loud more often.
10 years ago, you would have to pay a photographer to develop the photos and go to a fucking post office, then your mom would wait a week to receive them.
If you had developed your photos 10 years ago using analogic methods, your negatives are still usable, and your positive (if they were not too exposed to the sun thus conserved normally) would still be there. Whereas if you already had a digital camera, the raw are either lost because the media has decayed, you forgot backup, or worse to index your database. Your positive have all turned yellow unless you spent 10 ti…

I think that for some time now Google's services are mostly crap. For example when I upgraded KitKat to Lollipop they fucked up my calendar. No month view? Seriously? Plus it always vibrates since silent mode is gone. I found this out the hard way. My phone is always in silent mode and after the upgrade one day it just vibrated off the desk and the display broke. I should sue Google for this. Anyway back to your issu…
