You can try the display screens for menus and signs. They’re basically TVs without smart functions, aka dumb TVs.

That's fine if you don't want to use a smartphone, but SMS should not be the only option available. They should provide multiple options for 2FA so customers can choose what they are comfortable with.

It's infuriating that my bank still uses SMS 2FA.

Can't wait for AI to say they can't even.

Probably, but that’s android right? I’m not sure there is a similar control for IOS that isn’t airplane mode.

Yes but the cellular toggle is for mobile data only. Turning it off won’t stop your phone from trying to connect to a network when there isn’t any (which drains the battery unnecessarily). Airplane mode turns off the antenna completely. The person I was replying to appears to say there is a button to do the latter without using airplane mode.

Right, but the person I was replying to appears to be saying there is a toggle button that isn’t airplane mode to turn off the antenna, unless I’m misunderstanding.

There is? I know the control center button for turning on/off mobile data, but I wasn’t aware there was a way other than airplane mode to prevent it from continuously scanning for networks.

Most lemmy apps do not embed videos/gifs and have to open them on the in-app browser. The only ones I know that can do it are Arctic and Avelon, of which the latter put scrubbing behind a paid subscription. So Arctic is one of my top lemmy apps, even though Thunder is my favorite for general browsing.

Another minor issue for me is almost every app tries to look like Apollo, so they end up all looking the same. It’s one of the reasons I like Thunder because it looks a little different.

English isn’t my first language so I might be using “inherently” incorrectly, but I thought it means:

in a way that exists as a natural or basic part of something

So in its basic and natural form, email is not secure. It wasn’t designed as such. Full E2E encryption was only implemented recently by certain providers within their own domains, and won’t work across the board unless all of them cooperate, which won’t happen.

Exactly, that was my point. Email as it is, is insecure, because you can’t encrypt it and make it work universally unless everyone else does.

Well for one, email is inherently insecure, so not sure if the fediverse can learn from that. It’s already not private.
