Someone should clarify if this

  • leaks only the cc number (as shown here)
  • or otherises a payment

Contactless payments use the EMV protocol. Leaking the cc number is bad, but happens all the time. An actual payment athorisation replaces both PIN and signature. The victim’s bank will argue that the victim authorised the transaction at the POS.


I don’t get this argument. Most business don’t own any property. The office buildings are rented.



Don’t worry. I work in a bank. We employ very expensive IT consultants. After the initial PPT that sold the project to our management, all they do is Word documents (“concepts”), mostly copy paste from other documentation. And all the links are file://C:/User/Joe/Temp/MuFiles/…


They should have replied:

0 rows changed. OK.

Or:

BOT.EXE: Command not found

just to see if the other guy keeps trying.


The only open question is, whether at least one of the popular apps will transition Lemmy. This should doable since the concept is so similar.

The world needs good Fediverse apps. If they include mastodon, we can say good bye to Musk’s twitter as well.


There is a 4 million EURO or billion or otherwise huge fine for noncompliance with gpdr anywhere in the EU. And it can be enforced.


Ignore the fake stick shift, what the hell happened to Toyota? They used to make reliable, economic, no-bullshit cars. They invented (or popularized) the hybrid.

So Toyota missed the EV trend. We’d all be crazy rich now if we had predicted the rise of Tesla, so I guess this one can be forgiven.

I’m not a car-enthusiast. What I want from a car is less controls and distraction. A stick shift is more work for the driver, but logical. It exists for a reason. You can argue that automatic is a better solution for the problem, but when you learned to drive a manual, it works.

Also, 99% of the time, the stick works the same one any model from any manufacturer. It is expected.

I don’t get why people would want such gimmicks. The Toyota fake stick may be extreme and doesn’t fit the brand image at all; but many carmakers tend to treat EVs as toys; not real cars…
