I don't think the scams use links. They post bank account details for the customer to send a payment to. Manually typing a link may not seem suspicious to many customers anyway. Edit: Looks like the scam may involve credit/debit c

As others have said, requiring two-factor authentication would go a long way to stopping this. Nothing in the report or what you have quoted is misleading.

They may be able to get a refund from their bank, but this may depend on their bank's policy and how negligent the customer was. They will have gone through security on their bank's app or website, which will have warned them abou

So many people rave about the support A&A provides, but I don't really understand why support is so important to people. Isn't a stable connection more important?

I'm surprised that isn't already the case. In the UK you have to notify the appropriate authority (DVLA) if you have a whole host of conditions: https://www.gov.uk/driving-medical-conditions

The "banning of encryption" enjoys near 100% support among the political parties in the UK, so if there was a written constitution, it could simply be altered to allow this. The US constitution "works" because their poli

For the price and a supposedly "Pro" model, having 8GB of non-replaceable RAM is ludicrous.

I can't see many manufacturers wanting to have a logo that looks like it's from the '90s on their packaging.

Most of the time HN feels a little alien to me being from England. But here we have something that's less than 3 miles from where I live.

From experience, there's a lot of people in the UK that don't truly know what to do at a double mini roundabout. As other comments have noted, when drivers are less clear on the rules they tend to drive more slowly and cautiously

I can easily see from the in-home display or an app on my phone how much electricity is being used in real time. This acts as a great reminder to switch off anything that's using a lot of power.

They are common in the UK. Once someone has been employed at a company for two years, they can't be dismissed without going through a fair disciplinary process. A PIP is a good way to demonstrate that an employee is not performing adeq

A common way around this is to simply send a notification through Firebase/other push notification mechanism that tells the app there is a new message. The app can then retrieve the message and decrypt it. Most of them will then update

You've not read what you are replying to. Google has always honoured the stated support lifetime for its Nexus and Pixel devices.

Apple's track record is mostly good, but as has been noted, there are products that have been dropped sooner than others. As a consumer, I'd prefer that Apple was honest about its intent up front. I'd rather have a definite 7

The point is that Apple makes no public commitment about how long any particular iPhone model will be supported for. Some of the models in the range have had relatively longer or shorter periods of support. An iPhone 5 got less than a 5S. A

It seems too cynical. Google has supported all of its Nexus/Pixel devices for as long as they have claimed to in the past. The difference now is that the claimed period is longer than before. The claims form part of the advertising and
