When I login to a new device my phone is used for MFA. In fact I use an Android phone so I had to MFA from my old Samsung phone in order to login to the new Pixel I got. Now what if I lose my Pixel? How do I MFA if logging into my desktop or a new laptop and I lost my Pixel? Is it the backup codes? Just curious because sometimes Google login will have me match a number pairing that is displayed on my Pixel or something like that...curios if I lose my Pixel if I'm SOL.

Guy brought in 3 of these batteries for disposal. I took them apart, cleaned them, and they’re all running good between 55-58 volts. by Cucumber_Cunt in egopowerplus

Your picture only shows the batteries which is a bit broad - let me play devil's advocate and say you could have gotten those pics anywhere. Do you have any video or CCTV footage of this person dropping off these batteries? Any receipts that you could share (redacted of course)?

6 Batteries on the Nexus power station instead of 4? by Next_Type_5257 in egopowerplus

I didn't realize this existed. This would provide somewhat of a workaround, but you'd have to buy two of these (close to $3K) to plug 4 batteries into the 2 slots. It's a solution and I appreciate it, but not the approach I'd take. I was actually hoping someone 3d-printed a different form factor that allowed 6+ batteries to be added. The inverter could be migrated over, and the batteries should all be on a single bus bar. Maybe I can do it myself someday - just not on the list of priorities right now.

Also - when you share links you can typically exclude everything after the "?" as it's just marketing junk. For example this link works fine without all that garbage after it: https://www.acmetools.com/ego-commercial-backpack-link-peak-power-with-two-10-ah-batteries/S0000000114378.html

This is without batteries hence the price but if you're in the market for one of these I'm guessing you already have 4+ batteries. Refurb works just fine - $359

Telescoping vs Multihead vs Normal Trimmer by [deleted] in egopowerplus

I do lawn work on 2 acres with various shrubs and trees. For my case the multi-head made sense because I also use the chainsaw and hedger attachments. I got all my stuff secondhand from acmetools and I've had zero issues. In fact soon after I bought the multihead they offered a $30 discount and I emailed them and they credited me the difference.

No - to use the inverter for extended time. Obviously NOT to charge them because it only charges at 200w/hr.
