If you want to avoid "scary" math words, you could frame this as picking any 5 'corners' on a sheet of squared paper (of any arbitrary size)

Not really relevant to the conversation, but:

I stumbled across your watchface recently and absolutely love it. It's remarkable how much information density you've achieved while still maintaining "at a glance" clarity. Thank you for the work you put into it!

Thank you!

Once upon a time I read the joking phrase "M as in Mancy" and now it is the only thing I can ever think of when trying to spell out the letter M.

Perhaps I have now infected one of you. I am sorry.

This was originated (or at least popularized) in an episode of Archer from season 1. It remains maybe my favorite 5 minutes of comedy ever out to screen. It's just so tight!

I once had a customer say, ”G as in dog”. Yes.

In my head I also maintain what I call the "adversarial NATO alphabet", which is sadly incomplete, but contains stuff like, "C, as in sea"; "Q, as in cue"; "T, as in tea", "I, as in eye".

Worth noting that it's nine times the price (according to the link you posted)

Pcbs are super cheap, 9x $2 is still cheap

Huh. I remember a while ago Google Authenticator hid TOTP codes until you tap on them to reveal them. I remember thinking this was an absolutely stupid feature, because it did not mitigate any real threat and was annoying and inconvenient. Apparently a lot of people agreed because a few weeks later, Google Authenticator quietly rolled that feature back.

I wonder if they were aware of this flaw, and were mitigating the risk.

They could have made it a setting, with an explanation of the security benefits of it, so that folks who are paranoid can take advantage of it.

A relevant threat scenario is when you're using your phone in a public place. Modern cameras are good enough to read your phone screen from a distance, and it seems totally realistic that a hacked airport camera could email/password/2FA combinations when people log into sites from the airport.

Ideally, you want the workflow to be that you can copy the secret code and paste it, without the code as a whole ever appearing on your screen.

in terms of effect, this is identical to option 1.

not if you use your own domain they don't.

This is not true. I watched the clip. She referred to AI as AI. When she said A1 she was very clearly referring to America First.

Snopes confirmed that McMahon began by referring correctly to “AI development,” but in the same response, twice said “A1 teaching,” clearly meaning artificial intelligence. Not steak sauce. Multiple outlets including Gizmodo, Newser, Yahoo News, Mediaite, and Cybernews all reported the slip-up as genuine: she erroneously said “A1” when she meant “AI”.

Did you watch the clip yourself? I assume not, so here you go:

She was the chair of the board of the America First Policy Institute. She's not talking about AI, she's talking about pumping ultra-nationalist, Nazi-adjacent propaganda into Red state education.

Someone who is strong, like you.
