Is this pronounced how I think it is

I'm assuming this is not a reference to the 1980s Infocom series of games?

Windows on the front end and Linux on the backend isn't uncommon these days. Big iron unix is expensive so it was largely moved off of, although there is still some Windows in the back end depending on vendor. I think Epic is Windows across all tiers.

Reddit may not track that, which isn't a defense against GDPR violations.

Unfortunately, this is a weak security practice that really is used everywhere.

This we can agree on.

I'm not going to go down the route of arguing whether or not the bank should allow it to be easy to change your email address, but if somebody has compromised your email with the intention of compromising your other accounts, they are going to change the email addresses and passwords on those accounts before you have a chance to react, and you're going to be on the phone with each one of those institutions anyway. You don't hear a lot of this happening anyway, because it's usually a lot safer to con somebody out of their money than it is to smash and grab out of their accounts, and probably as easy if not easier.

As for the sporting goods store, I can imagine a couple of reasons for their decision, but it probably has as much to do with spamming your email as it does security, if it has anything to do with security at all.

I don't know your specifics, but implementing adequate security and being mildly infuriating often go hand in hand by necessity.

Reminds me of a brown recluse, but I can't say for certain that that's what it is

I wanted this for my dog, but instead she chewed the toy into nothing but a scrap of cloth that eventually disappeared
