Is the one time code an alternative to the password or a 2fa in addition to the password. If itâs the latter then change your password m

Neither. When a password recovery request happens, it sends a one time use 6 digit number to my other account to verify I sent the request. Which I did not.
So, somebody has my spam email account address, and keeps trying to get in? I get alot of spam crap in that account. Big dick pills, to my exciting financial opportunities. Microsoft is very lax about allowing that shit through, unless you explicitly block it. Which is weird to me, cause youâd think itâd be to their benefit to pre nuke as much as possible.
In theory, if they can guess the 6 digit random number, they can change the password, take control of the account, and send spam from it until microsoft shuts it down. This is my current best guess as to whatâs being attempted???
That password is unique to that email account, and is a random string, so I doubt anybodyâs cracked that.

Last night I was watching a clip from Elysium where Matt Damon rips the head off an attack bot and the body flops to the ground afterâŠ
Obviously there is no reason to put sensitive control processors etc. into the actual head, which is just itself a sensor platform. The argument for making anthropomorphic bots with human bodies makes sense to me - build the world for humans, build bots able to operate within that world⊠but putting the control processes into the head⊠no.
This got me thinking about something else - a universally recognized kill switch that humans can actuate against a bot that will shut it down⊠without needing to communicate it to someone whoâs never seen a human like bot before⊠then I thought how funny it would be if special sensors were built into the neck so if someone strangled it, it would slowly power down and then shut downâŠ

its one of the things that piss me off on a lot of sci-fi ⊠if we have all this technology, why make things soi fragile and so âcurrent lookingâ?
It shows such a lack of undersetting and technology and science ⊠and a lack of imagination and creativity âŠ
(dont get me started about the âpew-pewâ in space ⊠

Need a down and dirty kind of solution.
I have an amazon chinesium endoscope camera with micro USB. The phone I used to use it with is dead dead dead. My current phone is USB c.
I tried getting an adapter at walmart, but it turns out to be power only.
Not sure If I can cut the end off of a USB c cord and solder it onto the existing endoscope camera cord.
Something hack and janky is perfectly acceptable. Iâm gonna order a new camera with USB c, so if I sacrifice the existing one, thatâs o.k.
Thoughts?
It might work if you use a USB C to A cable thatâs USB 2.0 only. I donât know enough about USB otg to be sure but I assume since the camera has a micro USB plug it handles it
Yeah Iâd cut a USB c cable as a hack.
Tried it. No joy.
Gonna have a new one on Wednesday, not a huge loss.
This!
Can I opt out of this in the future?
You need a Micro USB to USB-C adapter that supports OTG. Otherwise, the phone will not output power or behave as a host. Those adapters are more difficult to find than Iâd like but they do exist.
The one I got was from a 3 or 4 connection universal charger. Pretty sure itâs only wired for power, no data. Seems obvious in hindsight.
At this point, not worth further effort, especially as Iâve already cut the wiring up.
Many support data but only in one âdirectionâ so to speak. It needs to support OTG or it will only work for charging or connecting your phone to a computer.
Oh well, too lateâŠ

Anyone has experience with Dell PowerEdge servers?

If it pans out i might need a rack ⊠hopefully i can get something cheap

@amal did some custom wiring in his poweredge to power a 3060
I donât have too much experience, Iâve setup one or two. My 2 cents would be make sure theyâre not too old, Iâd pass on any using ddr3 at this point. Too power hungry
