In Poland some banks directly use NFC for contactless payments, thanks to that I can pay with my degoogled phone (Murena Fairphone 5).
State-backed = more misinformation and state abuse
So I have mixed feelings...
I just hear that they move to LibreOffice but not to Linux, ateast not right now.
It might be unpopular, but somehow from current season I like the underground healer the most. Somehow it gives me the good/happy vibes that I can watch it over and over again. (Even if some animations are very bad)
The title at least dont say anything new AFAIK. Because you could already download from external sources but those apps still needed to be signed by apple. But maybe they changed?
The pdf might be password protected, some viewers can't handle it. I would try adobe or send it to someone with desktop to check.
Like I already wrote, I fully know that it is collecting data, thats why I'm giving it some bogus ones (like for example fake location), and some other valid one (like for example my device id and IP when I use it) that I did agree to give in exchange for protecting my bank account from being hijacked and other.
Other than that it collects nothing more at least nothing active. Why do you ask? Because bank app have background internet access denied so it can only connect to internet when it is in foreground. Yes, it could run some periodical task in background, store that data on disk and send it only when active but that's something that facebook would definitely do. While I agree that a lot of shitty apps do that, I doubt that bank will try to risk gdpr breach (that would hurt them monetairly in many ways) over some useless data that they could access.
On top od that I have have network traffic monitor always on screen so I see when something is using network and howuch, ans that it stays flat 0 when I use offline apps, that gives me confidence that nothing is actively sending data to network.
And yes, I already once closed my bank account because of a shitty app, so I know what I'm saying.
Those plastic rectangles doesn't have any security against range extend attacks so they can steal money from you and you would be plain unaware and defenses. While phone or watch will only enable contactless payment on demand making it way safer. And you can pay with contactless payment everywhere in Poland while you sometimes can't pay with inserting physical card on some automated devices as there is no where to insert that card, you can only use contactless feature of that card.
Not to mention those plastic rectangles cost yearly or sometimes even monthly, while app is 100% free. And if the app at any point in time do anything that I didn't agree in the agreement and/or bypass any permissions I didn't grant them there will be hell to pay for them.
But maybe I'm wrong, I don't know...
I use bank app for contactless payments. But the bank app have no other permissions, even location is fake.
ambitious plan
Good, good, but I guess it is only a plan to negotiate for lower prices.
But if they actually deliver without going back... 😍
This should be illegal, companies should be forced to open-source games (or at least provide the code to people who bought it) if they decide to discontinue it, so people can preserve it on their own.
The arguments that the sound is to quiet, is valid but ofc not something that cant be fix/changed, they can always put an display/light to indicate stuff.
