Surprised they didn't add "ozone free" to the list.

With fibre HDMI cables and with "boosted" HDMI cables, a lot of people don't read the instructions, and assume the cable can be plugged in…

That's concerning. Up Bank are still saying "we don't impose a fee, but the ATM might". The 7-bank website says ["Fees for cards issued…

> They never been profitable In a way, that's a good sign. Suggests they're not overcharging their customers.
