There’s a huge fixed unclosable signup overlay at the bottom so the viewport is limited. Also the content is not scaled down so you have to pan on two axis. Some text is so long it doesn’t fit in the viewport. Nearly literally unusable.
Really you’re complaining you can’t plug in a 4th display into your computer? The fraction of the population who does can afford the Max, together with the 3 extra monitors.
I’m not trying to justify Apple here, but this usage seems quite niche and it’s understandable to me to need a non-base setup. It doesn’t sound ridiculous at all. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of notebook users never even plug a single monitor in.
Judging by the calls I hear, I don’t give them that benefit at all. They sound pretty happy to scam the elderly.
Maybe as a first-responder that could work, but if you’re talking to an elderly and convincing them to hand over hundreds or thousands of dollars, you do not have my sympathy.
For better or for worse, the category of “software that silently listens in on calls” is non-existent due to OS limitations. Generally sounds like a lot of work and computation for a very rare situation.
Lowtech solutions would just be taking the (bank) key away from the elders, just like they’d hide my grandpa’s literal car keys when he was 70 with dementia.
You make it sound like just because you want and write something it will get merged into a project. It doesn’t work like that. Maintainers have a million reasons to say no and I have one reason to just use a different tool instead.
Got it, so why not outlaw that? For all we know, they can continue doing what but not show us relevant ads.
I suppose twitter knows nothing about me and shows me stupid gaming ads all the time. I click on them exactly 0 times. Show me something relevant to what I see on HN and probably will even find it useful.
If I can’t block all ads, at least show me something useful.
What does it mean “they’re not meant for it?” I have money on it, some site accepts the card, it works, it worked. The limitation you’re suggesting is purely theoretical.
In my specific case, I needed cash to buy a used vehicle in a country where not everyone has a bank account, so your preconception about money may not apply here.
Wire transfers across borders are expensive and slow anyway. Remitly was available within minutes and at 0 cost (first transfer is free).
Unfortunately it’s not always as easy. Last year I tried to do a remittance of 3500€ and it failed on both a debit and credit card of my bank, blocking them. The bank called me to confirm the transactions, which I did. I tried again and they blocked the card again.
So I did an instant transfer to another bank account and used its debit card without a hitch, as usual.
Some banks just won’t let you use your money as you please. Your luck is in finding a bank that does.
Make sure you’re not visiting with a bookmark that includes the specific language code.
I had a similar issue with some history item that would annoyingly point me to the previous version of a page. Only to realize that I was opening a permalink to it.
I am glad I found a bank (N26) that rarely if ever blocks my payments online. I travel frequently and my previous credit card would block all kinds of payments regularly.
If possible, find yourself a bank that enables you to spend money and leaves “security” in your hands. My 2FA is via app, never SMS.
Side note: someone stole and used my card number and the bank immediately refunded me. Can’t get any better than this.
1) Pardon me if I’m wrong, but downgrade attacks will be possible for as long as HTTP-non-S is allowed. Browsers could support SSLv2 as long as they treat it as an insecure origin. (This assumes HSTS isn’t used, which definitely isn’t on SSLv2 hosts)
Nations die very rarely so this is probably up for discussion each time. I suppose it does become an issue when in 200 years a new country named Yurnia wants the .yu domain.
A lot of people travel without research nowadays: book the flight, book the hotel, find everything out as you go. That's how I did my first trip to Japan and I felt like an alien.
I wouldn't say normal, it depends on the size and availability at the hotel. I also left some baggage in Indonesia for a month, but the hotel was large and lax. In two other similar-sized hotels they were storing the bags either in the open-air lobby or in a small staff-only hallway. Neither place would be suitable for medium-term storage.
