Holding on to my X, hoping the app support for iOS 16 continues.

There are some African countries that will give you a driving licence with a photo and a few details.
Good for presenting in Europe and making it too difficult for the police to bother with to issue a simple speeding fine… or so I hear.
Jigsaw puzzles, the bigger the better. It keeps you constantly mentally engaged and the act of reaching for pieces and looking around is good physical activity too. I get back ache if I do a jigsaw session for the first time in a while. It really tires me out before bed and can prevent that rumination before falling asleep. Finally it’s really cheap, there are limitless puzzles in charity shops and even some libraries lend them.
Ah I see, yes app/web OTP is one of the best methods, unless people are calling to report the app/website not working (a workflow I’ve seen many times) The industry has put hundreds of millions into voice recognition but the sample size required for AI to trick voicerec is really low now.
You actually want them to do this, it’s terrifying easy to set up a cell tower or call centre and convince banks and people you are customers or banks.
This is correct, i should have said “telephone banking password/passcode” but also the security questions are at best hash encrypted (so basically plain text). I had thousands of hours of call recording and millions of customer details on my work laptop all unencrypted. The security for enterprise telephony companies is seriously lax, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few unexplained leaks originated from these companies.
The company that provides your banks phone system has full access to pretty much every piece of information your bank holds on you, including call recordings, phone numbers, addresses, debts, credits, and your phone password. We can trick our own systems into thinking it’s you on the phone.
Avoid calling your bank at all costs, and if they call you say “no thank you I’ll do that online or in branch”, as soon as you pass security the phone system is accessing all your data. If possible go into branch or do everything on a banking app which has far better security.
This is absolutely correct, let’s not forget how amazing the turnaround was in road network and car industry after Hitler came to power in 1933!
OK that makes sense, English is very hard to write like a native speaker, especially when phrases in your first language don’t translate well.
Not criticising, you write English better than I can write any other language, but that is why people think you are a bot. Some of the things you write just don’t flow correctly.
We just can’t tell if your first language is Cantonese or binary.
Seriously this reply looks AI generated too, maybe it’s “a you problem”?
Just wondering, is English your first language?
I think my keyboard and mouse use Bluetooth 5 and they have been rock solid.
While I use cloud for automatic phone and picture backups just because it’s built in to the OS, all manual and PC backups are to NAS via RJ45.
I suppose it depends on your needs but a NAS/external with the smallest disk you can find would take a while to pay for itself if you compare it to a 99p a month cloud storage package.
Sorry @Ziggurat but you might be the one behind the times; keyboard/mouse/headset - Bluetooth, External Hard drive/ memory stick - cloud/ WiFi, camera - WiFi/Bluetooth, Webcam is still USB.
The true connector crime here is that single USB-C, any new PC should have more than that.
That’s the stuff, serves me right for only half paying attention to a documentary. Either way I’ll probably steer clear of Teflon pans in future.
I did try to find ScotchGuard a few years ago when I got a new Sofa (Couch for the Americans) and I found it was discontinued because it was probably just PFOA in a spray bottle :)
There was that town in the US where 3M dumped PTFE into the rivers and it made it into the drinking water, I watched a documentary where people in that town have a cancer rate 169 times the national average. IIRC
PTFE is one of the greatest chemicals to ingest… if you want to grow some extra body parts.
You only need one to be cyborg eye… the other one can succumb the way nature intended… to diabetes and television.
Well it could work really well… but capitalism will always be capitalism.
Ha - they wouldn’t do that! It’s not like Waze puts a full screen ad up every time you stop at a traffic light… oh, wait. Damn you capitalism!!!
Aw man, why did you have to ruin it by being such a pessimist! An entirely accurate and correct pessimist.
I’m all for supporting the underdog who probably doesn’t have a chance… so I’m considering going back to Twitter.
