My parents’ isp setup a static dhcp entry per customer. If you change the mac address of your router you don’t get an address. The address you get with the proper mac address is constant and can’t be changed.

I like yubikeys since it means I don’t have to pull out my phone. totp on the laptop also works well enough.

sms based 2fa is the worst. it seems like to me every ceo and other non-technical c-level person I’ve known personally loves sms based 2fa though because they can’t figure anything else out.

good to know. yeah, it didn’t seem like the kind of thing for texas to do on its own.

at least where I am in texas, they tell you what it will cost before you go. When I was in utah, I asked them beforehand what it would cost and they said it would be impossible to know until after the procedure was done. The front desk person said even they weren’t even allowed to know the prices beforehand.
