i could add more detail, but it just raises further questions.
The payroll officer was emailed from an aol.com address, not the company email domain.
The bank account was changed to a branch in another state, several thousand kilometres away.
My office was physically next to the payroll officer. Despite sitting 2 metres away, I was not contacted in-person at any stage.
At least two staff members oversaw this.
They just wrote off the money and paid me for the month again.
This triggered a policy change. Bank account updates had to be confirmed in-person after that.
It doesn’t take much. I once put my name, job title and employer on LinkedIn. That was enough for someone to email my payroll officer and convince them to change my paycheck to a different bank account. I had no idea until my pay was missed.
My payroll officer was a dumbfuck, but that’s all it took.
A bank card is far more practical than a second phone. Even if Google Pay did work on GrapheneOS, I would not use it. It looks like a privacy nightmare.
Artificial intelligence built upon real stupidity.
Google blocked it.

As a GrapheneOS user, It would be nice if they made it available to their android platforms first.
I have configured my home router to redirect all plaintext DNS traffic through it. I did it because Chromecasts try to sidestep DNS and go straight to Google.
While doing that was a couple of lines of nftables config, blocking DoH would require an actively maintained list. Even then, it would be trivial to host your own by renting some server space.
I hope they’re just patenting this to prevent other manufacturers from doing it.
Even if you can’t cleanly remove it, you can probably delete a few system files and break it. It’s not like the whole thing will be baked into kernel32.dll.
This was at a stockpile yard at a port where raw mined materials were stored before being shipped.
Basically, if the wind was blowing strong enough in the right direction, it would blow over a nearby town. The problem wasn’t really knowing where the dust was going, but where it was coming from. Accurate monitoring could detect exactly which pile the dust is coming from, so you could direct all the water to the source. It’s impractical to wet the entire yard, as it’s huge.
This reminds me of something I worked on at my last job. I made software to detect plumes of dust pollution from a mining site blowing onto a nearby school and town. The EPA issued fines if they detected too much dust over the town. This system could catch it early for quick intervention.
After it was deployed, I got a glimpse of their production config. They hadn’t configured the alarms for early intervention. They had configured them so that they could get as close as possible to their allocated limit before they intervened at all. Because, ya know, spraying water on stockpiles of ore is expensive.
Fucking mining companies, man.
This sounds like an improvement, if anything. I know I’m opening a file I downloaded. I don’t need a warning. I need it to execute, because that’s the instruction I gave.
My bank apps all work fine. Just keep your physical bank cards on you because Google Wallet won’t work with credit cards, NFC or transport passes. Your gig tickets and membership cards will load fine though.
You probably don’t want Google rummaging through your purchase history anyway. I certainly don’t miss it.
So, Disney+ gift cards carry no value at Disneyland, but the Disney+ death waiver does?
Not really. If they use TLS / HTTPS then you won’t see a damn thing.
My car is built in 2003 and I don’t think I’m ever moving it on.
It peaked in 2005 before the driver inputs got overrides and and speed outputs started lying to you.
I couldn’t even imagine a car connected to the internet.
This is because AI is usually used to reduce the human cost to the company, and rarely to reduce the human labour for the customer.
That, or mass surveillance.
I’ve been separating OS and data partitions since I was a kid running Windows 95. It’s horrifying that people don’t expect and prepare for machines to become unbootable on a regular basis.
Hell, I bricked my work PC twice this year just by using the Windows cleanup tool - on Windows 11. The antivirus went nuclear, as antivirus products do.
CUPS facing the public internet sounds a bit crazy. Why would you print when not physicly near the printer?
