De-Googling TOTP Authenticator Codes

Back to Articles 1st Sep 2025 In the ongoing effort to extricate myself from Google's services, I've been paring down my usage of their apps on my (admittedly Android) phone. I'm now down to two Google apps I use regularly: Maps (for traffic data) and Authenticator (for TOTP [A] Time-based One Time Password codes). Now, I spend most of my time in a terminal window on MacOS or connected to a Linux machine; it'd be nice if I could get TOTPs on the command-line, and it turns out there's a utilit

Why Is Tech Worried When Stocks Like Chevron Drop On Global Oil Worries?

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-24 15:13:42

Chevron’s stock declined sharply this week before paring back losses, as mounting concerns about volatility in the global oil markets spooked traders. Another group of worried market watchers? Tech companies, big and small. Casual observers sometimes wonder why technology stocks—often seen as disconnected from the oil industry—sometimes react sharply to oil price movements and related news.

A Single Typo in Your Medical Records Can Make Your AI Doctor Go Dangerously Haywire

A single typo, formatting error, or slang word makes an AI more likely to tell a patient they're not sick or don't need to seek medical care. That's what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously. Even the presence of colorful or emotional language, they discovered, was enough to throw off the AI's medical advice.

Why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?

In 2001, quantum computers factored the number 15. It’s now 2025, and quantum computers haven’t yet factored the number 21. It’s sometimes claimed this is proof there’s been no progress in quantum computers. But there’s actually a much more surprising reason 21 hasn’t been factored yet, which jumps out at you when contrasting the operations used to factor 15 and to factor 21.

Hurricane category 6 could be introduced under new storm severity scale

Hurricane Florence made landfall in South Carolina in September 2018. It was a Category 1 hurricane, but the devastating flooding that followed killed 55 people. A new hurricane categorization system could help people better prepare for storms by incorporating risks from storm surges and rainfall into the categories, a study published this month reveals. Storm surges — elevated seawater levels near coasts — and rainfall cause almost 80% of hurricane deaths, yet they are not accounted for in th
