And this is why I usually tolerate the surcharge for purchases like this. If something goes wrong, it's relatively easy to get your money…

Lol, the first few digits of the card are nothing but the card scheme and bank identifier. First digit (4 = Visa, 2/5 = MasterCard, 3 =…

CVC generally is needed for a card not present transaction, even in a physical store.

CitySnail was also somewhat popular for a brief period in the late '90s I think? Because all e timetables were slowing down.

What rubbish. Refresh rate is absolutely noticeable. Scrolling is far smoother, for example. My phone also drops to 60 Hz in battery-saving…

It's a joke that Apple are selling such expensive phones with 60 Hz screens in 2025, when I bought a $300 phone last year with a 120 Hz…

It's a budget tablet. I'm not sure why you would expect a high-end or even mid-range SoC at this price.

Their modem performance is very clearly subpar.

If you never travel outside major cities, you probably won't notice, but MediaTek modems are trash in the bush. Their signal range is…

Does Grill'd have combos? I've never been offered one. What should I be asking for?

Oh noes! I was expecting KK to be full of healthy, nutritious ingredients! 🙄

How terrible that a landlord should honour the terms of their lease…🙄

>BMW owner charged 10 dollars to check that indciator works Fairly certain that this has never, ever been part of a BMW service. Not in…

It can be if you make it yourself. It requires some patience, though.

It seems that would be overridden by restricting the lock to the same state.

TIL there's a 7-11 with alternate milks. All my locals only have full-cream or skim. <cries in lactose intolerance>

Seems a bit extreme when we have cross-border cities like Gold Coast-Tweed. Maybe a distance restriction like 150 km.

I have two phones, but the same account on both. Am I doing it wrong?

Clearly, someone can't read.

Or maybe you're driving a Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

Newsgroups are still around.
