Anyone want to team up to start up an organic tire manufacturer with all natural rubber tires?

There’s additional tools for e-commerce transactions like 3DSecure (step up authentication like an OTP) and passive identity verification tools.

The US uses chip and signature, no joke, because the banks didn’t think people could remember another PIN.

This is an EMVCo chip card, and not an American one so it’s chip and pin most likely. Without getting too detailed, the chip generates a one time use code for each transaction, so just having the number wouldn’t help with cloning the card plus you also would need to know the PIN. Although skimmers still exist and physical card theft is a thing, it’s less common especially in markets that use chip and pin.

The m4 ultra is going to really make a case for Apple gaming without compromise, you know, except for the actual games :(

Hot take: I think this movie will do really well on streaming. It’s the kind of movie people may not make the effort for in a theater but are curious enough about to still watch when it’s convenient.

Banks charge higher fees for credit transactions to fuel the loyalty programs (flyer miles, cash back, etc) on those cards. This is why you no longer get any loyalty benefits on debit cards but you still do on credit. The fees don’t cover the risk on credit cards , the interest does.

From the federal reserve directly : https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/boardmeetings/frn-reg-ii-20231025.pdf Also, I guess what I meant is, the cap used to be 45 cents, and when it was reduced to 21 cents, there wasn’t some massive reduction in prices of products for consumers. Merchants just pocket that difference.

Check out FedNow. Basically a domestic government run payment system. Still pretty new and growing.

Fwiw debit card transaction are capped around 21 cents per transaction depending on the size of the bank holding the account. You’re right for credit cards though. Also, imho, I’ve never seen merchants pass along these debit card savings to the consumer. With they would though.

Wish I could upvote this twice.

This is cool but what I really want are rollable screen phones like from Earth Final Conflict.

It’s worth “comparison shopping” with search engines. Run some common queries on multiple engines and see which ones fit what you like. Google takes up a lot of the mindshare for sure, but there are absolutely other options that will probably surprise you with how good they are.

Looks like a pretty rad gaming mouse!

The New York State Department of Transportation wrote in 2021 that adding a lane to New York State Route 17 “would improve the flow of traffic and reduce delays, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions as a result of traffic congestion.”

If only there was some other, better way better way to reduce traffic.

As a sometimes Pixel user, I was jealous when iPhone 15 had an 80 percent charge limit option.

Taking a page from Apple’s book. The settings part of iOS has “warnings” if you aren’t using Apple add on services.

On one hand, sure just a meme. On the other, it may not be ADHD that’s causing these symptoms and getting a professional diagnosis will help with treatment regardless of what’s going on.

Wonder Showzen had some wild segments but was easily one of the most subversive shows on television.

I’ve read that he wants to make a rendezvous with Rama movie and I really hope he gets to make it because that would be wild and he’s just the right person for it.
