The Convenience Trap: Why Seamless Banking Access Can Turn 2FA into 1FA

news.ycombinator.com Roman Böhringer 2025-12-27 00:48:15

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the bedrock of modern digital security. Its principle is simple and powerful. As Wikipedia defines it, MFA is: an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more distinct types of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism. The key phrase here is distinct types of evidence. These factors are typically categorized as something you know (a password), someth

Nvidia Geforce RTX 5060 Review: Not Quite There

wired.com Brad Bourque 2025-12-27 11:03:00

This should've been Nvidia’s victory lap after a fairly successful round of high-end GPUs. The RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 were expensive and hard to find at launch, but the performance was impressive for those who could get their hands on one. Most people spend less than $500 on a graphics card, and they've been waiting patiently for their turn to go shopping. Unfortunately, the RTX 5060 falls short of its similarly priced AMD counterpart, and the gap gets even worse when any pressure is applied. Si

Josh Hawley Wants to Send Out Rebate Checks So Americans Can ‘Benefit’ From Trump’s Tariffs

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-27 16:05:54

President Trump’s tariffs have generated around 20 billion dollars in revenue for the U.S. government, although it’s worth noting that a vast majority of this wealth has been derived from import duties on American businesses. In other words, Americans are paying the federal government (many critics have noted that tariffs are just taxes by another name) for the pleasure of doing business with foreign exporters. For the fiscally confused, the New York Times recently wrote an explainer on tariffs
