Lol, I had made them change it as soon as they told me.

It happened to me. Cellular carriers, in my case T-Mobile, didn't require any confirmation to port a number to a new phone/sim.

Eventually some required the last 4 of your social security number to port a number, which we all know at this point are pretty much public anyway.

T-Mobile now lets you set an arbitrary pin, which my parents promptly set to their DOB :facepalm:

I haven't looked more into it, but as far as I know, sim swap/port attacks were hilariously simple to execute which is why I only use SMS verification when it's the only option.

Just think of all those people putting off ever migrating off EC2-Classic that now have to reboot databases that nobody knows or remembers how they were configured. The time has come. Good luck.

Won't happen in total darkness. Also, it's happened in full daylight. Like all the sudden someones head just looks absolutely massive, like I've lost the ability to perceive size. I find the effect pleasurable so I kinda zone out and let it happen. Otherwise I can snap myself out of it pretty quickly.

None of that, it just looks like the floor is tilted forward. It doesn't feel like it though. It's a very odd visual distortion.

I noticed while at the eye doctor when testing different lenses I guess he could recreate the feeling by using incorrect magnification on one eye? Making my brain thing the room is tilted left or right.

Unrelated, anybody ever feel like they lost consciousness for 250ms? Super rare, but I get the feeling that I feel asleep and all my muscles went limp in that moment. It's like when you are falling asleep and you sometimes jerk yourself back awake.

I get a world tilting thing maybe once a year. Usually while falling asleep. I also sometimes get this weird perceptual thing where objects look huge, again, normally while in a dark room. I've also had odd sensations that accompany these perceptual changes.

All of these occur very rarely. Like I said, maybe twice a year, but closer to once per year. I can't find it now, but I had learned about seizure activity and how you can experience one without really knowing it, things just might get wonky like your perception, feelings, smells, etc.
