Swiss.

Switzerland is in Europe

I don't see why? If they give you a math test and tell you you cannot use a calculator, should you just say "please can I use a calculator" and quit?

Cut down that tree.

Can I have a saw?

No

Okay, it will take much longer then as I’ll have to do x, y, and z.

Pick one: [That’s fine, proceed] [Okay you can use a saw]


Preferably, it would ask for help to see the image and only engineer its own workaround if that was not an option. There could also very well be something in the prompt that would cause it not to do so. Opus 4.8 is usually good at asking for clarification for things like this when I'm using it.

Why would it ask to see the image if it was already told it cannot see the image?

No, a proper analogy is painting with blindfolds on or playing the piano deaf. Doing math without a calculator is like… rather common?

On Max it is just included in your subscription.

Can you tell me the difference between that and doing code review for a task performed by a non-senior?


Comic Chat had its own IRC servers ran by Microsoft. You weren't supposed to use it on "regular" servers.


Nah it was just the default server in the dropdown list. Out of the box it also supported UnderNet, IRCNet, and more.


I have assumed from the get-go that they would just keep extending it week by week.


Which is nonsense given they target enterprise and business users.


In that case you'd be better off waiting 6 to 12 months before buying into SPCX.


I've been with DO since checks mailbox 2014. Honestly never experienced an unannounced outage.


Yeah overall they are ok. I think 3 times managed db and one or twice a vps just dead. No issues in a year or so.

They were always hardware failures, took about 45-120min. Not the end of the world, but also not fun getting lot of client complaints.


I can only speak for my countries, but almost all payment terminals now have the option to scan a QR code with your mobile banking app to pay using Wero.


That's good. Maybe I haven't seen it because direct debit via contactless (including Apple Pay) is faster, hence the default, where I am.


If they haven't been redirected to their bank, verifying with their mobile banking app using a QR code will not work.


Can't the attacker just man-in-the-middle to the real bank, and show the QR code to the phone?

Does the entire transaction take place on the phone? I don't think that's a good option.


So I have to get out my phone every time I use my credit card on my computer?


Not credit card. Bank account. Webauthn/passkeys could also work for auth as they check the domain and can't be phished


That’s why we don’t pay 3%+ on all transactions


I get 3% cash back, though.
