Likely, the restrictions are coming at the card network level rather than the bank level. Building a Visa/Mastercard network is a much harder proposition than just buying a bank, especially as it pertains to consumer distribution.

Not super familiar with 1.1.1.1, but I use NextDNS and it's no longer implemented as a VPN – they use the native iOS encrypted DNS feature. I wonder how iCloud Private Relay works with that.

Great writeup. I use EXPLAIN a lot in development as a gut check — “does this descending index do what I thought it would? how expensive is that subquery?” Highly recommend looking at it early on, it helps me catch silly mistakes well befor

Google will suspend entire accounts even if you have more than one owner. A few years back, our business credit card was somehow stolen and used to buy Google Adwords. We disputed the charge with our bank. A day or two later, at 4am local t

By way of the Shortcuts app, every iPhone has a pre-installed Pinboard integration. I’ve taken to just using that to make new bookmarks, because you can make shortcuts that accept URLs from the share menu as inputs. Here’s my shortcut to ad
