CLOUD: FACEBOOK has new “forgot password” hurdle

2016-May-28 1020

Last night I was playing “tech support” and helping a noob get setup on my “loaner chromebook” while his win doze machine was at the Geek Squad for some kind of service. (Sounds like a motherboard failure.)

Of course, like most people — even those who should know better — he doesn’t remember his passwords.

(Of course, he doesn’t use LASTPASS, KEYPASS, or any other the other countless utilities. Argh!)

So we walked him through “forgot my password” on GMAIL, FACEBOOK, etc. etc.

All was going well, until FACEBOOK allowed him to reset his password, but then locked him out for 24 hours. 

(I could not get a screen shot of it. Others were at the controls “to learn” cause I go to fast. Argh!)

So be advise, FACEBOOK has put another wrinkle in your way.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Statute of Limitations should only start on discovery

The Volokh ConspiracyOpinionShort Circuit: A roundup of recent federal court decisions
By Eugene Volokh May 23 at 4:18 PM 

*** begin quote ***

Audit: Florida law-enforcement officers accessed the state’s motor-vehicle database over 500 times for a glimpse of a female (former) deputy’s personal information. Eleventh Circuit: The statute of limitations began to run when the (alleged) violations occurred, not when plaintiffs found out about them. So this suit (one of many) is dismissed.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but that’s just not fair and sections official misconduct.

The Statute of Limitations should only start on discovery.
