A human on earth. Ask me about weird tech. Bonus points if it radiates.
How can you spend time thinking about phones, when there are children starving to death in Africa! See, I am can do that too.
Besides, I do carry cash for everyday expenses, and I do prefer cash. I don’t know where you got that idea from.
But the question was to replace tap-to-pay. Sadly, tapping people with a fiver makes them irritated at best.
Risc-V is not going to be any better. Technically, the ISA of Arm is very well documented. Sure, it is created and licensed out by a single company. But that doesn’t matter when the device is either locked or has so many non-documented quirks and peripherals.
I have this little offline only single purpose device that handles tap to pay for me. It is actually waterproof, survives falls, is light enough to not be noticed, and hasn’t run out of battery in a few years.
Jokes aside, what is wrong with good old plastic cards? If you don’t want an extra wallet (which I need anyway to carry ids, drivers license, cash, emergency ear plugs, a handy sticker or two…), just get a phone case with card/cash slot thingies.
Same. Why should bootloader unlock stop OTAs? Sure, i dont doubt that some manufacturer somewhere does this, but I would not expect it to be the norm.
Alternatively, at an MMA bar or fight club.
Only half joking here.
Ne, hat leider Paywall und ich bin geizig. Könntest du den Text posten?
Bin halt Wessi mit einer Ausbildung, bei der ich höchstens bei Zeiss oder in Dresden oder so unterkomme, schuldig im Sinne der Anklage.
Ich hab aber auch z.B. einen Bekannten, der wieder in den Westen gewechselt hat, weil ihm die Stimmung nicht gefallen hat. Tja.
Fair, I admit I am not hanging out in those places that often. Kids these days and their language, man. Get off my lawn!
Tja.
Fürs Protokoll: meine Gleichgültigkeit gilt hier den Oligarchen und Profiteuren des Systems. Mir ist klar, dass es für Igor Normalrusse nicht gerade rosig aussieht, der kann nichts nicht so viel dafür.
Cars as a hobby are cool. A society built around cars is stupid. Billions of people using cars daily is pretty dangerous to us all.
I like shooting guns. It’s loud, smells funny, and you get to train patience and self-control. It’s a cool hobby. A society built around guns is… well… just look at the US.
I think my last programming job (a couple of years ago) had a healthy relationship to tests. You had to do meet a certain coverage percentage, and if you had particularly interesting pieces of code, they should better be tested. But they acknowledged that 100% is just stupid, and that testing the same boilerplate over and over was a waste of time.
Isn’t that literally crossdressing? Someone enjoying dressing up as the opposing gender, yet being cis otherwise? For example, just because they like the aesthetic, or because it is a fetish for them?
My biggest issue with this kind of “TDD” is, you pay two people to write the same code twice. Test-driven can work if done correctly, but this just stupid.
Give me 20 minutes in an HTML editor or android studio and I can make you an “app” that looks real, but isn’t. You don’t even need to be a “real” programmer for that. It looking real proves literally nothing
Rules just say it should be digital. Everything else is the local transport provider wanting to get you to use their app, and / or people not understanding how digital stuff works.
Sadly, the local transport provider will absolutely fine you for that bs, and it being in their terms and conditions, you probably would have to pay.
Same in Hessen. Tbh they just see an app they don’t recognise as “theirs”, scan the QR and go. Also tried KDE Itiniary for fun, but that is still a bit… beta software.
Depends highly on the region. I can use it with Ride/RMV, and have used it f.e. with Lufthansa and other airlines.
:(
