10 years later, Apple Pay is amazing — and about to change
  • Samsung/Android/Google Pay/Wallet thing never gained traction despite having access to the chip is exactly what we’ll see if the chip just get opened up free for all.

    You realise that in the UK and a lot of other countries people mainly pay by contactless and while you can do that with just your bank card, many link it to Google/Apple pay in their phone? The Amex UK app used to offer their own implementation as well for contactless payment, but they also supported Google pay/wallet so eventually decided to drop their Amex app implementation of contactless payments and just told people to use Google pay. Don't equate them not gaining traction in your country with that being the case in general, especially if you're from the US, where banking technology seems to be 15-20 years behind a lot of the time.

  • What is something you would like to see in a game?
  • Yeah, but if OP actually plans to try and add all the ideas that are suggested then there's already a lot of difficult requests. One or more cats should be easy to add into pretty much any game, even if it's a text-based couch co-op sci-fi dungeon crawler with realistic ship controls.

  • Humble Bundle - Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld
  • It shows the bundle with a US VPN, but I'm not sure if you'll have trouble trying to redeem them with Kobo, not sure what sort of verification they might do.

    Bundle is US only according to the page:

    This bundle is only available to those in the US.

  • Russia Quits Framework Convention For Protection Of National Minorities
  • Come on. Just admit this is all really bad satire.

    I saw a post where the MBFC bot checked MBFC's bias, unsurprisingly they were least biased, high credibility and very high rating for factual reporting

  • Hey it's free, so I'm not complaining
  • They disabled my account without any notice, I tried to login to see why my VM wasn't responding and found they'd deactivated Oracle cloud services. It's also difficult to get in touch with support as there's multiple different portals and with the cloud services disabled I struggled to find a way to raise a relevant ticket. When they eventually responded they gave some generic BS about their ToS.

    My suggestion for anyone using Oracle free tier is stay on it if you want, but be prepared for the eventuality that they shut everything down without notice or access to your data.

  • Pinepods 0.5.0 - Great news for Podcast enjoyers and self hosted advocates. Self hosted podcast management with Nextcloud sync. All open sourced!
  • You could look at setting up a discord bridge on the matrix server to bridge messages between the two. Pine64 have had something like that for quite a while on their discord & matrix.

    Also echoing what's been said already, I did initially think this was some air pods style product from Pine64, as they prefix almost anything they make with Pine

  • Most ovens (at least in the UK) do have a timer setting that will turn the oven off when it's done and also a way to delay it starting until a certain time. They aren't the default though, most people will just set the basic kitchen timer on the oven and not even realise there's the extra functions available.
