Intel launches 10th gen Intel Core desktop processor with perks for gaming, video editors Kent Sharkey30-Apr-20 9:30 Kent Sharkey 30-Apr-20 9:30  ZDNet[^]: Intel's launch comes as the company is in a dogfight with AMD, which has been upping its innovation cadence and powering more systems.

Would You Have Fallen for This Phone Scam? — Krebs on Security[^] Re: If you trust 2-factor auth with phone numbers User 1106097930-Apr-20 8:31 User 11060979 30-Apr-20 8:31  TLTR, can you please post a assessment/conclusion on what the point is for non native english language like me? It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question modified 19-Jan-21 21:04pm. Re: If you trust 2-factor auth with phone numbers raddevus30-Apr-20 9:20 raddevus 30-Apr-20 9:20  Sure... Fraudsters can call your bank posing as you (spoofing your phone number) and call you at the same time as if they are the bank (spoofing the bank phone number). Certain banks will provide default info (such as your last 3 transactions) by phone because they think the fraudster is you based entirely upon phone number (since they see the spoofed your phone number when calling the bank). The fraudster can use those 3 transactions and your spoofed number to prove he is you. The fraudster can act like he is the bank by repeating 3 transactions to you (quite convincing) that he is seeing on your bank account -- you think it must be bank. It's all very ugly. Hope this helps. Conclusion Never answer calls from bank. Just hang up or ignore. If you think it is something, get number off back of card and call bank.

Ok, now for a moment I'm released that this does not involve 'etan' verification used for banking stuff. Thank you very much again! It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question modified 19-Jan-21 21:04pm. Re: If you trust 2-factor auth with phone numbers Eddy Vluggen30-Apr-20 10:43 Eddy Vluggen 30-Apr-20 10:43  I'm paranoid. To the point of owing a (faraday cage) wallet that blocks "hands free pin" and not having money in the bank. I would have fallen for it, since no one can know my last three transactions. Those shouldn't be available over the phone. And I would blame the bank; they promise to keep my "money" safe. If they loose it in any way, I'd be expecting reparations.

Re: If you trust 2-factor auth with phone numbers raddevus30-Apr-20 11:30 raddevus 30-Apr-20 11:30  I agree 100% Re: If you trust 2-factor auth with phone numbers Eddy Vluggen30-Apr-20 11:52 Eddy Vluggen 30-Apr-20 11:52  Anyone would; if I lend you a thousand asparagus and pay you to hold them a month, I may expect a thousand asparagus after that month ends. If your mother (or any third party) says "cook them" and you fall short, you'd be owing me some asparagus. After COVID, quite some banks will be short asparagus.

Introducing C# Source Generators Kent Sharkey29-Apr-20 12:15 Kent Sharkey 29-Apr-20 12:15  .NET blog[^]: We’re pleased to introduce the first preview of Source Generators, a new C# compiler feature that lets C# developers inspect user code and generate new C# source files that can be added to a compilation. Why write code when you can get the compiler to do it for you? Edit: Oh, I foresee so many ways this might end up abused. modified 29-Apr-20 18:31pm.
