Are you trying to setup an OTP two-factor account with a QR code? If you are you need a OTP app to read the QR code. The QR code is a nice way of sending a human a very large binary encoded secret that's used by the OTP algorithm to calculate the 6 digits used when challenged. I'm not sure where "flip phone" came from.

The QR code contains a "seed" which is used by the TOTP app to calculate the code you need to enter based on the current time. There's no encryption. This is a widely supported standard, if you don't have a phone handy pretty much all password managers support TOTP as well (Lastpass, 1password, Dashlane, Bitwarden etc.). An Open Source tool to do this would be https://keepassxc.org/

You want an Authenticator. There appear to be two dozen in the Windows Store, but I don't know any of them and can't suggest one, much less know if any are compromised. Usually you want this on a second device than the one you are logging in on so you need both devices to log in. You can also get extensions for Chrome and Firefox.

The Joe Man posted:I'm trying to log into Datto. It's requiring me to enable 2FA before I can log in and the only option is through scanning a QR code on the screen and then entering whatever 6-digit verification code appears afterwards. I do not have a smartphone to do this. Like most people said you need an TOTP (Timebased One Time Password). I'd suggest Authy which has a Windows app. You can also look to see if Datto supports SMS TOTP, where you request a token and Datto will send you a code. Just note SMS is pretty broken and if someone really wants to hack you it's super easy to spoof your phone number and receive the SMS code EDIT: Also, having it on the same device does defeat the purpose some. However, if someone has your laptop and password to your laptop things are probably worse

If someone has physical access to your device you are hosed pretty much no matter what, so at that point it doesn't even matter anymore.

I have a question for the dudes and dudettes who are experts at Excel. I use Excel for my invoices, which are usually day rates type of deals, but I have another gig that does hourly, and I'm trying to adapt my template. Total Hours = X Hours Hourly = Y Hours Bonus = Z So, basically, I get a flat rate for the first two hours of work. After that, I am hourly up until 5PM. After 5PM the Bonus Hourly is a different rate. I'm trying to figure out the formula in excel, it would be total hours, minus 2. And then I would need to differentiate between the hours of the day. It seems like there would be an if(hour = < 5:PM) kind of deal? Right now, the fields that I manually enter are START TIME/END TIME/TOTAL HOURS

Here's what I came up with. It may not be the most efficient. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VpIuLyJVuSvW5CLzjb84cDPe_wPhPKfo/view?usp=drivesdk Enter a start and end time. There's a cell somewhere defining "5 PM" (as I didn't know how to reference it otherwise). Calculates the total number of hours. Calculates the total number of hours and the number of hours after 5 PM, does a flat rate for the first two hours, and hourly rate up until 5 PM, and a bonus rate after 5 PM. Also just gives the flat rate if less than 2 hours. Everything should be a variable except that 2 hours is hard coded into the formula.

You can just do something like MAX(cellwithtime - TIME(17,0,0), 0) * rate for the part after 5 pm. Also there's an excel thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3132163

And I can just make a cell with that value and call the cell in a formula or something. I really appreciate that. mystes posted:You can just do something like MAX(cellwithtime - TIME(17,0,0), 0) * rate for the part after 5 pm. I didn't know TIME was a defined variable, that helps, too. Thanks for think to the thread, I didn't see it when I searched through, but I could just be an idiot. EDIT: Your both powers combined, it works perfectly now, thanks fellas.

Are there any more apps like EarTrumpet, i.e. improved UI for basic windows actions that require an unnecessary number of clicks? Bluetooth and Ethernet would be especially nice.

Bluetooth is there I think by default, but if you want to connect a device that you use with more than one host, you've got to open the full BT settings, which is kind of dumb.

Double-click the icon, pick the device you want to connect, and click connect. That doesn't seem so onerous.

The Joe Man posted:I'd be happy with SMS but no, the only option is this dumb QR code scanner. Removing the ability to use your scanner definitely sucks, boo on them. But using TOTP is a good thing, and it's not inherently a "mobile" thing, despite the awkward QR code setup they went with.

Can anyone recommend a good video editing program, preferably free, for me? I have over 200 episodes of a tv show that I want to cut the intro and end credits from, and am looking for something that can be used to easily do lots of edits like that. Either as a batch (remove the final 40 seconds from every selected file in folder), or a shortcut that I can set up (open each file and press CTRL+P or whatever to remove the next 40 seconds), or something similar. I've grabbed a couple random free ones so far, and they are all overly complicated and take way too many steps to do what I want.

Fashionable Jorts posted:Can anyone recommend a good video editing program, preferably free, for me? What you have to remember though is that you can't just trim video arbitrarily, because not all frames are complete frames (keyframes), so you should probably inspect a video, navigate by keyframe and pick the closest one you want to trim by. Otherwise you're not going to trim at the exact timestamp without some issues. The MPC video players should all have the ability to seek by keyframe somewhere in the hotkey list. It's going to be a little harder to do accurately with the outro, unless it happens at the exact same time each episode for the specified reasons. Test a single video before you queue up a batch job. I just use the Ubuntu subsystem in W10 to run batch commands because the syntax is easier, but you can also do a Windows batch job in the command prompt or PowerShell. To install ffmpeg, just download the .zip to a folder and add the folder to PATH in your Windows environment variable settings, and "ffmpeg" should work as a command now. EDIT: You could also give LosslessCut a shot. ufarn fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Jan 31, 2021 |

Unfortunately not. As far as I understand that's a full image of Win 2K8 Server with SQL 2008 already installed. I'm hoping to get SQL up on my W2K12 server so I'd need the installer. Thanks anyway though.
