Really hoping we minimize our chances of another covid.

I don't have an M2 Max with 96 GB of ram. Yet.

What are the best things that could be run on desktop that are fun and would truly require that much power?

Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF looks like it's going to be awesome.

Is there any kind of nice app/website showing when and where to look based on your location?

Like MeteorActive or the comet neowise apps

The companies/things that you use, and they're better than the alternatives, but they still suck and you wish they were better.

Some for me:

DoorDash

The US Government

Spotify

"Congress routinely passes major legilation in a multi-thousand-page bill crafted at the end of the year with no time to read when everyone is out"

Seems bad!

Who is in a position to fix this and how could they fix it?

I'd heard Rigetti and others were making major progress, but haven't heard any updates. Hopefully they didn't just do a SPAC-dump to make the public into bag holders.

What's the latest with quantum computing progress that's meaningful to regular users?

When did Google stop trusting 2FA? I have email accounts that have Google Authenticator codes.

Now when I sign into them, after I enter my 2FA code it'll ask me for a 3rd factor - it'll ask me "Verify it's you. Google wants to make sure it's really you trying to access" and then I have to do something with an email address or phone number.

How can I permanently disable that?

I want 2FA, not unexpected 3FA...
