    Yes they do! I use the TOTP 2FA option personally, but I think there are others such as e-mail.

    I'm here for the good feels, not necessarily the prizes.

    I am gunning for that Xbox though, I won't lie. Haha

    I've handed out some free accounts on my reseller plans and whatnot, I like the sense of community here.

    As a follow up, I recommend Bitwarden as a password manager which has built in TOTP 2FA when you self host or pay the cheap $10/yr for premium. Otherwise my second recommendation on Android for TOTP 2FA would be the (free and open-source) app Aegis

    I have no affiliation with any of these programs, just what I recommend and self-host for personal use, also for friends and family.

    Haha, mine is definitely older than my kid! She plays it almost every day as well, and it's still kicking!

    I've got an original Xbox One, just waiting for the HDD to fail one of these days, then again my 360 still somehow works.

    My son prefers his Switch and I was almost jealous the other day while Christmas shopping as I probably spent less on my console (traded for some tech work) than the new games we picked up cost. :D

    He's gonna be stoked though.

    I have the original Xbox One as well, the "Day One" edition. I'm on my 3rd or 4th Xbox 360 though.

    Due to their near 50% failure rate I used to get a lot of broken 360s. I'd reflow the BGA solder under the GPU and CPU that caused the red ring problems, and bring them back to life.

    My first reflow was done in a cheap toaster oven using aluminum foil insulation (to cover all the plastic parts and electrolytic caps on the board) and poster putty (sticky tack, not sure what else its known by, but its good for up to 500F), now I have a YIHUA 853D soldering station with the hot air gun and some Kester liquid flux that does the job a little better.

    I used to work at a computer repair store, and I did a lot of Xbox 360 repairs. Sounds like you really started from the bottom there using a toaster oven! :D

    I've always lived a bit of a "budget" life, but I make do with what I have and I've learned to fix anything with what I have on hand. That first reflow lasted 3 months before it needed rework again and I didn't even use flux!

    Bonus was when I discovered someone had already flashed the DVD drive in it to accept "backups" hehe

    Forgive the old pics, taken with a potato back in the day.

    First Xbox 360 I did, sometime around 2012. Prior to this I'd just stop the fans and let it heat up as it flashed the 3 ring (hardware failure), then shut it down and re-engage the fans once it switched to 2 ring (overheat). Booted right up and ran forever as long as you never shut it down. Similar to the "towel trick" but less heat damage to the electrolytics.

    IIRC this was a Zephyr.

    I actually borrowed that code from @tototo haha just noticed who posted.

    I don't know if I'd want to look at a post count ticker as then it might ruin the fun.
