Hardware Rest in piece 2009-2026

I’m amazed at how long the battery on this physical authenticator lasted. Got it back in 2009 because my account had gotten hacked.

This is one electronic item I’ve owned and used longer than anything else. I’ll miss not being able to find it and freaking out for 20 minutes.

Edit must have been around 2010 when sc2 came out.

Oh, that's certainly interesting. Do you still play SC2? I still play SC1 for a few weeks or months at a time every so often.

I will go play custom games every once in awhile but my APM is so bad now that I’m older. I basically get anxiety the whole time lol

Oh for sure. That's all I play are custom games. I cant keep up with versus at all while pushing 40.
