I had       enabled 2FA on that account where I had all of my purchased apps, movies & TV       shows built up over several years. Long story short, and through a series of       unfortunate events, I didn't have access to an iOS device signed into my Apple       ID, nor did I have my backup code saved (as I thought I had).              I called Apple up expecting to be able to prove my identity and get access       back to my account, but nope. Their only solution was to make a new Apple ID       with a new email address.              Moral of the story: Periodically audit your accounts to make sure your backup       methods still work.               JM> I doubt there will ever be a perfect browser for everyone.        JM> I just hope we never come to the point when there is a        JM> one-size-fits-all browser.              We're getting close to that it seems. Now that Microsoft has switched to       using the Chromium engine, we're down to three browser engines that I'm aware       of:              Webkit: Safari (Mac, iPhone & iPad)       Blink: Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Opera, etc)       Gecko: Firefox                     According to statcounter.com: Chrome has the most browser market share at       70.1% followed by Safari at 18.8% and Firefox all the way down at 3.5%.              (Chrome = Chrome + Samsung Internet + Opera. It's unclear whether Edge on       this list differentiates between Edge Classic & Chromium Edge).                     Jay              ... A short cut is the longest distance between two points.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/09/24 (Raspberry Pi/32)        * Origin: Northern Realms (1:229/664)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 221/6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 702 229/424 426 428 452 664 700 981 1017 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 307 317 400 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280 770/1       PATH: 229/664 426           |
