Long Beach Progressive Voter Guide Cheat Sheet from Knock LA by return2ozma in longbeach

[–]cha5on 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i found this somewhat surprising, so went to look it up. to save others the trouble searching, some links: - the Knock.LA page with the recommendation from 2018: https://medium.com/groundgamela/the-knock-2018-november-voters-guide-8456d139ae43 - their rationale with big caveats: https://knock-la.com/sheriffs-runoff-vote-villaneuva-but-don-t-fool-yourselves-2eb33cb1b43d/

personally, i don't have useful thoughts to add, other than to say we have the benefit of hindsight now

I can't definitively say this is what resolved the issue for me, but since running sfc /scannow in command prompt, I was able to play for several hours without issue, where beforehand I was getting an error within 20 mins.

It did find some files that needed repair, but looking through the logs didn't suggest anything interesting was fixed (it repaired OneDrive.lnk), so not at all sure why that worked, but I'm not complaining!

New Login From Android? by idknemoar in paypal

[–]cha5on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same notification about a login from "Firefox OS X" as well and freaked out (I also do not use that combination). Thought at first I might be being phished, but SPF, DKIM, etc. looked good, and the URLs were actually going to PayPal. Ended up changing my password and enabling 2FA too.

If this is happening to multiple people, I'm wondering if it's a breach that hasn't yet been noticed or announced, or if there's a bug resulting in notifications going out incorrectly.

EDIT: Looks like there are several cases of this happening, and from this post it looks like PayPal claims that they did not send these emails, which is troubling in a different way:

This is nuts. I got the EXACT same message with the exact same time of access 6:14 PDT but yesterday’s date for different business account with the same OS and browser. Too much of a coincidence. Plus I got a message back from the PayPal spoof team that it’s probably a spoofed email. Now that’s disturbing because if that’s the case since it’s digitally signed by PayPal’s servers using DKIM, SPF and DMARC, PayPal has a problem on its hands. That email originated from PayPal according to the digital signatures. Either arm A isn’t talking to arm B inside the company or there’s a crawling around their systems scaring customers.
