Have you tried the above yet? Try it.
I fail to see how it would help, the issue arises when I try to use a payment portal like there is for caixa bank transactions, SMS is a valid way for me to sign in to my account, but not to confirm a payment.
And if that doesn’t work contact their customer service and say you don’t have the option to use another device and you need to set up SMS verification or you’re going to have to consider another card. I bet it will work.
I would have to disagree with your take, their customer service is 80% ai and 20% call center, none of the people you would talk to care or have the power to answer a threat like this.
I appreciate the ideas, but at the moment I don’t see a way of getting around my issues.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 days ago:
I mentioned it elsewhere in the comments, but in my experience, payment portals have redirected me to a verification page that has two options app verification and customer support, even though I have SMS setup. I contacted capital one and the rep said it was working as intended.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 days ago:
What is your 2fa method, I cannot sign in to the website without it and the only options I have been presented are SMS and app verification.

I guess it is a matter of semantics at this point, but i take the year of the Linux phone to be when a phone running a Linux os is viable for the masses, which as my original message states is at least 10 years out.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
The standard for banks like capital one is, in order to login in a browser you must use their app 2fa, they do not support third party 2fa methods, and their app doesn’t work under compatibility layers. That last part may come with a workaround, but my earlier point is that the normal end user wouldn’t feel comfortable using such a thing if it is not officially allowed.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
How do you deal with 2fa? For capital one in particular, I don’t believe there is an option not to use their app, and the other banks that I use are in the same boat or adamantly recommend to use their app.

More like 2026 + 10, Linux phones are severely lagging behind, enough so that they are at least 10 years away from having enough adoption for banks and the like to recognize their existence, the annoying truth is that it cannot be mainstream until it is able to use these critical apps with no workarounds as “it works but isn’t allowed” will be the death knell of any amount of mainstream appeal.
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 3 weeks ago:
I’m not saying I’m OK with it, but I am saying that this data collection on game servers can be negated by not sharing information over in game chat. The rule I follow is that game chat is for talking about specifically the game or a discussing what platform we should communicate on instead; the unfortunate thing is that this ai would potentially compromise other services like your preferred messaging app. All in all, there doesn’t appear to be any reason to stop using cross play servers from a data privacy perspective.
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 3 weeks ago:
I fail to see how this ai isn’t a legitimate service, sure me and a lot of other people don’t want it, but there is an actual use case for it. It is very obvious to most of us here that it is a data collection scheme, but the data that a game server has on you should be unimportant, if it isn’t that is a failing on you for either playing such an invasive game or a failing on the game developer for making such information easily obtainable, either way this is not an issue for gamers who restrict the private information they share.
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 3 weeks ago:
If that is what was meant, this is nothing new, server hosts have had this information and more for ages, and your gamertag is by no means priveledged information. I am having trouble trying to figure out how this change affects my willingness to play on cross play servers, as others have pointed out however I would be wary of compromised devices with privelidged data like banks or HR which I realistically have no way to protect myself from.
- Comment on Fedora Will Allow AI-Assisted Contributions With Proper Disclosure & Transparency 3 weeks ago:
If the code is good I don’t have an issue with it being merged even if ai was used, that being said I bet the obvious outcome is that either people ignore the policy and nothing changes or they comply and most reviewers focus on the non-ai group which is how it was before ai. All in all, this decision can never hurt the development, since as far as I am aware there is no requirement to review an MR.
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 3 weeks ago:
Could you expand a bit, I understand that their systems are compromised, but how does that provide information to them about you if you play a game together. Unless you are just referring to the information that a server host or your friend would know anyway.

You are assuming their ai hallucinating or maliscous devs won’t push updates that break user choice.
- Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity 3 weeks ago:
The general consensus is that you shouldn’t be selecting your distro based on gaming, all of the modern well maintained distros will be relatively the same performance. In my opinion you should select your distro first on how well maintained it is, then on stability, & then how well you know how to fix issues. Although I don’t follow my own advice since I use arch but that is because I am far more accostumed to that ecosystem.

They’re being run by accountants, and one thing accountants hate is paying people to do a job, its always “far easier” just to pay a company for that.
- Comment on Two New Windows Zero-Days Exploited in the Wild — One Affects Every Version Ever Shipped 4 weeks ago:
Except they will stay on their high horse and only give it to extended support this time around, that way they get what they want and they’ll be able to spin it against the people who didn’t opt in.
- Comment on Two New Windows Zero-Days Exploited in the Wild — One Affects Every Version Ever Shipped 4 weeks ago:
Maybe I was just missing pertinent information, but I thought a zero day was an attack that could be exploited in a very short time frame that has remained unpatched, I didn’t realize there was a hierarchy to the different stages.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 4 weeks ago:
How do you figure, I haven’t seen the actual text, is it written ambiguously? If not, I would imagine that they be able to enforce it, the only thing is the scope is very small.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 4 weeks ago:
Has anyone been able to find the text of the law, the article didn’t mention the penalties, I want to know if this actually means anything.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 4 weeks ago:
There was a link in the article about that, it was saying that they are just requiring self reporting, I don’t know the political context in California, but it seems like you wouldn’t push this and then turn around and try the id thing, but I am by no means an expert at predicting the idiocracy of politicians.

I’m not sure I follow, it seems like the issue you are running into is a hardware one, the software may be trying to compensate, but it seems like a performance issue first and foremost. I’m just curious if that is the case since I can’t think of another difference between you and I.

What phone, you must be running one of the first ones they made graphene for
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 5 weeks ago:
The aosp has been in the process of being gutted, I surmise in preparation of these anti consumer measures, graphene os has its work cut out for it. I imagine that after the dust settles, consumers will have to pick between an immature Linux os or their personal preference of walled garden.

- Comment on Hydrogen's Big Year Continues With New California H2 Transit Project 1 month ago:
why should we use renewables to produce hydrogen (not to mention develop an entirely new hydrogen infrastructure) when we could just use that renewable energy as it is? That’s just adding extra steps and inefficiency for very little benefit, if any.
Because hydrogen isn’t trying to replace the source of energy, it is trying to replace the storage of it, at present batteries are not nearly good enough for the EV only transportation boom, but hydrogen works and only really needs to deal with the volatility issue
