Re: Verification Schemes

If you want to register for any reason on a web site, you are going to have to provide information. As for supplying phone numbers, I am sure you know that when one sets up the text message app, one elects to use phone number and/or email address. Just the fact that one accesses the

Well you are assuming that the text message itself used in the two step factor is inclusive. Second, the risk involved in providing the phone number from a privacy standpoint. The honeypot fields seem to be the most bot proof, although I cannot recall at the moment how the math options

I have seen the math type a couple times. But if its true (and I think it is likely) that bots can do OCR its no better than letters and numbers. I do not see using 2 step verification via texts more difficult than captchas. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many

Re: Accessible mail apps for iPad

Hi, I think the iPad splits the mail into 2 separate things. So your message list would be on the left side for example and the message you're viewing is on the right. What works for me is when you are in full screen mode (you should see inbox back button) is to double tap the button and I'm

Hi Jonathan, Simple to me, The 8 or 8+ will have a slightly longer life than the 7 does and the storage capacity is slightly more in the 8 range than that of the 7 now. I know it's more money but I'd go 8 myself. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com

RE: Accessible mail apps for iPad

I think mostly it’s the different layout or presentation of the mail app screens. I’m so use to how much phone shows mail in that app that the ipads interface is different. I do also use outlook for IOS In some cases I find that better to use but again it’s not outlook on the computer. From:

Nick, If a new Mini is on the near horizon, then I can hold my breath and see what it's like when it arrives. But a disk upgrade could always be useful, even if I buy the new Mini later. Re upgrading, memory and SSD are the highest of priorities. I already have my eyes on solutions for

Verification Schemes

I've been playing email tag with someone who operates a web site that uses the picture captcha for people who sign up. We talked about the 2-step verification method where one gets a code via text message. He is of the opinion that this isn prone to hacks. He chose to use the picture

Re: Captchas

Phil, yes, captchas. Its an acronym for "completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart". The issue apparently is that what you refer to is going away in favor of the ones that have 6 pictures. For example, you are asked to select all pictures that have street

I have no idea how to get this to work automatically, but you can do it manuaally. The AirPods are known by your Watch through iCloud, but to use them, you have to select them. Open your control center with a two-finger swipe up on any watch face, find the AirPlay button, double tap it, and

Hi, Remember that the seven year life cycle is just for MacOS update compatibility. That is, the computer may, and likely will, last longer. I have numerous Mac Pros from 2009 still running flawlessly. They're stuck at El Capitan, but they work great and there's no performance issues.

Hi Steve Firstly when talking Mac Pro I presume you are referring to the cheese grater, since that’s the only Mac Pro which is upgradable, the newer trashcan isn’t at all upgradable when it comes to drives and RAM. The last cheese grater is already older than your current 2012 Mac Mini, without
