  • IMO, watching a YouTube video of Hasan is not as interesting as watching him live. A lot of his original content is responding to bad takes from chatters, and YouTube videos of Hasan, even from third-party channels like this one, cut all of that out by Hasan’s request, to avoid harrassment of those chatters.

    Watching the Twitch VOD (the part in this video starts at 2:52:55, it’s from last Monday) is better: Nothing is cut out or edited, and it’s easier to follow chat, since in the video itself, comments are delayed by several seconds.

    For me, the best way to watch Hasan is his stream, (which is live for about 8 hours every day), because I can participate in chat. It usually takes about 40 minutes before he starts to actually cover the news. I’m not just watching it nonstop all day, I have it on in the background and check every so often if something interesting is going on.













  • SMS auth is going away,

    OP is looking for an alternative to MS Authenticator. If this works as an alternative temporarily, they may still consider it worth it.

    [I]t is not considered secure in the last few environments I have worked in

    Yes, SMS 2FA is usually not secure due being vulnerable to SIM card swapping attacks, that’s why I explicitly recommended using a VOIP number, which would not be vulnerable to SIM card swapping attacks.
