Marco! Yeaaah...
Wasn't sure where to post this but using the facebook app on iphone 4S (if that even matters.) And within the last week I have been getting sporadic push notifications about activity that I never used to get before and if I go to facebook's web page they don't show up as notifications under the notification drop down menu. Anyone know what might be causing this? The app is up to date.

I get that periodically as well, and there's nothing to do about it. It happens because the facebook app is poo poo.

Facebook has used some unknown metric to decide that a few of your fscebook friends matter a lot to you and has subscribed you to everything they do.

I get push notifications every time one dude I haven't talked to since high school edits a status.

I never got badges on the Facebook app denoting people liking any of my stuff before...oh, I guess it was the most recent update. I like it because it never used to alert me to that stuff in any way and I'd just end up seeing it lumped in my notifications along with other sorts of activity :shobon:

It's been this way for me forever. Like notifications may not show up without an actual notification though (someone comments, etc), and they took any kind of sound to those notifications over a year ago too. My friend showed me that if you add someone to your "Close friend" group, you get a notification anytime they do anything on FB.

Posted this in the other iOS threads,So is there a chance I'm getting a false positive with avast ? I can download any app fine save for Hungry Shark Evolution. When I try, I get this message from avast:
URL: http://a1914.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/0...
Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
Infection: Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]

Scanned and everything is clean. Any other app I can download fine save for Hungry Shark.

It does, but I can't vouch for it because I use Feedbin with it (which works flawlessly). The current version of Reeder for iPhone is free right now because the new version will be universal and a paid upgrade, so there's no harm in giving it a go.

The current (old) version of Reeder works fine with Feedly, though I have only used it a handful of times because the latest version of the Feedly app itself is fine for what I need.

In case anyone is looking for a SNES emulator, there's an app called "Remote File Manager" that plays SNES ROMs. It'll probably be removed from the App Store soon so you might wanna grab it now if you're interested.

Aero is a fantastic weather app, if only for the reason that it displays the current temp via a badge, so if it's 70*F, the badge says "70".

me irl.
Other apps can do this, I've used the app Celsius (people in America may want its counterpart Fahrenheit) which displays it as a badge and also the app's features itself aren't too shabby.

The only problem is if you live in a place where it goes into the negatives, since badges cannot be less than 1.

So loving Google Authenticator 2.0 deletes the services you previously had configured, and starts like the app was installed from scratch.

:ughh:

Don't update if you use 2FA anywhere. And don't use it anymore - switch to Authy.

This is a company that expects us to trust them as a primary federated login provider.

I was mostly annoyed by the very large potential downside risk of their irresponsibility. If you were midway through swapping machines or had just suffered a data loss or something, that could have been a big deal. Must've happened to some users across the 2FA userbase.

It's a 3rd party app that works exactly like the Google Authenticator app. I use it for my services. Love the interface, works great, and they even have an option to back up your tokens with a password if you're paranoid about losing your device and being locked out of all your services.

Looks like an app that handles 2FA for a bunch of services and ostensibly wouldn't gently caress up like Google just did.

That's their whole business, so presumably they've thought it through a bit more than one of Google's thousands of side efforts. Plus, they have a good reputation on the twitter... and got a lot of petulant endorsements this morning when the whole Google thing happened.

No worries. I'd think carefully about storing your tokens with them though... I'm not going to. Doing so essentially reduces 2-factor-authentication from "something you know and something you have" to "two things you know".

Anyone have any recommendations for a decent free pinball app? I have found a few that give you a free table with the option to purchase others but most claim to be free when the are just free for a few plays before they lock you out.

Some of the ones by Gameprom drop to free pretty often and the gameplay and graphics are good. Get the AppShopper app and set an alert. That's how I've gotten like 4 of theirs so far.

There's one called "Age of Pinballs" that has a number of free tables. You can pay for stupid things like extra balls and score multipliers. I see now that there's a "pro" version though; not sure what that's all about.

Zen Pinball is pretty good, you get one table for free and the game itself is fun to play. IAP is getting additional tables.

They can't see your data. You can back it up to their servers (encrypted) if you want, but it's optional and off by default. And it's just a token generator for two factor authentication anyway, it's not like they have your passwords or anything like that.

Even if they did hoover up all your data and lock it away for future perusal, that's not any worse than what everyone else is doing. Everyone is gathering data on you, all the time. If a small time developer is freaking you out, companies like Google or Facebook or Microsoft should have had you wearing tinfoil years ago.
