I faked a leg injury to get on first the one and only time I've been on an A380. Took the opportunity to walk around the craft... when I got to the back spiral staircases the immense size kinda hit me.

> "Don't ever let me disable 2FA" setting.

I like this idea. I'd only want to use this though if my Google 2FA backup codes are backed up via Authy or a similar app.

I don't trust codes I've printed out and have always lost.

Have you considered getting a safe-deposit box?

[dabernathy89 → orginal__idear]

I tend to just stick all my 2FA backup codes into "secure notes" in LastPass.

[ihattendorf → dabernathy89]

That sort of defeats the purpose of 2FA though. Now if your LastPass database is compromised, they have access to your 2FA codes as well.

[dabernathy89 → ihattendorf]

True. I think it's a bit of a security compromise for convenience. Having backup codes stuck in a folder somewhere at home is only useful if I need to regain access to one of my accounts while I'm at home.

Yes, the killer app. I've been hoping for this myself.

I wonder if that would "change" the taste of it?

[ekianjo → girvo]

Taste is difficult to measure but perception, yes. Look for the blind pepsi campaign from the 80s.

It certainly holds true for red vs. white wine. Not being able to see the colour makes it very hard for most people to reliably tell the difference, if you avoid the dead-giveaway heavy reds.
