  • Ok. Did a quick read. And I think I mixed my words a little.

    Yes, Active Directory supports TOTP fine.

    But my understanding is rollouts can disable TOTP, and instead force the use of the proprietary scheme requiring the MS Authenticator app (which also supports TOTP) that uses push notifications to the device.

    As is the case with my employer. They didn’t enable TOTP, and I am unable to use the provided MFA QR code with 1Password.










  • Pros:

    • not as big as the UK plug
    • not an American plug
    • those power cords that stick out at a diagonal parallel to the wall

    Cons:

    • no inbuilt fuses
    • no inbuilt guard on the socket
    • every plug and socket feels cheap.
    • thin shitty pins that bend easily
    • shitty sockets that break when shitty bent pins get plugged into them.
    • used by a handful of people with tight regulations … and China. Good luck getting decent affordable, certified, smarthome sockets.
    • that cunt who invented the vertically oriented twin socket wall unit. What a fuckhead.
    • those power cords that stick out perpendicular to the wall.

  • You’re conflating copackers with brands.

    Store brands will go to the same copackers, truth. But the copacker will not just make a premium brand product for a store brand at a lower cost. It will be a recipe made to a taste/price spec. Maybe all the ingredients are sourced from the same place, but the recipe will be different.

    What can be nearly identical are branding tiers. Large companies like Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble etc will sometimes have multiple “competing” brands in the same market, all made in the same factory.




  • Is this just the cost per raw Watt produced?

    Is it a fair comparison vs conventional fuel-based power (coal/nuclear)?

    Ie: if you wanted to build a plant capable of producing continuously, 24 hours a day, you would need some multiple of solar panels to produce an excess during daylight, and storage.

    Not that drastic drops in solar costs aren’t bad, just what would the cost-per-watt be if you had to power an average city on just solar for a year?
