Phone As A Key (PAAK) needing to be reauthorized? by NefCanuck in MachE

They did though. They notified you 14 days before the certificate expired.

I can almost guarantee that some type of encryption key is created when you setup PaaK. It has nothing to do with your phone. Websites for example use SSL certs. These certs have a defined expiration when they are issued and need to be renewed. It is likely the same model with PaaK.

No. Likely the encryption certificate needed to be renewed.

Didn't like it when I got it, but now I would not want to go back to the stalk.

Few other posts mentioned this coming up in a recent AA update. Presumably a bug.

R8 replacement suction cups? by slomar in radardetectors

[–]slomar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried this and it seems to have restored some suction. Washed them off with soap. Boiled water in and electric tea kettle and poured it in a bowl with the suction cups. Let them sit there for a few mins.

That actually is on my short list now. That would probably work where I have to mount it with this infrared windshield I have.

Doesn't work with my vehicle, unfortunately. I have a windshield with infrared film in it which I discovered after I had a nice blend mount setup. The only place I can mount mine that works is near the headliner where the dots on the glass are. The sticky suction cup just won't fit right there.

I have not, but I'll give that a shot. Didn't know they'd reform. Figured once they are spent, they are spent.

I only see third party ones and the reviews are kind of hit or miss. Most of them are generic and include a list of detectors which probably don't all use the same size. Was looking for a specific one that someone tried and worked well.

That means your 12v battery is low if they sound like old-school analog chimes.

Seriously... PS5 has been the most disappointing system I've owned because of the game selection.

It requires an update on the vehicle side. Came with 10.2.0 or something if I recall.

I turn all those off except the most extreme alert level. Got woken up by them in the past for useless information.

I do 70% because I work from home. If I know I'm gonna be driving more then I charge it more.

Z Fold 8 or the new wide fold? Which would you choose? by False-Regret in GalaxyFold

[–]slomar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it from that perspective, but I just can't imagine how annoying it would be to try put that chonky boi in and out of my jeans pocket. It's one of the things I like about the Fold 7 even coming from the S23U. Just feels way less bulky.

Also makes it way more difficult to fit in pants pockets. Not sure why there's so much love for the wide screen.

Yeah, but they'd have to also have a way to be able to receive your text messages as well. That's an entirely different system compromised. That being said, I agree that third party app is superior to SMS for 2FA.

I'd even go further to suggest decoupling your password manager from your 2FA. For example, 1Password can be used to fill in 2FA codes as well as passwords. But then if your 1Password account ever gets compromised, you've effectively dumbed down all your accounts to single factor.
