It’s safe to assume that Harper’s legal team have a lot more information than we do, and that this information was sufficient for them to OK this story. Don’t forget how complicated the world is. If something looks too simple to be true, it

Hail a nice cab and look for a card on the dashboard. Or just ask the driver for their number. This probably won’t get you George, but it’s a start. Alternatively, go to your local airport at 8pm on a Thursday evening. There’ll be all sorts

This is the one situation where I still rely on a good old fashioned taxi driver. George, to be specific. George heads up a bunch of WhatsApp-connected drivers of higher-end cabs here in Melbourne, Australia. There’ll be a George in your ci

Not OP, but I can vouch that this is a common occurrence now in Australia. Contactless payment is now so ubiquitous, when you go to pay with cash it's often received with surprise. The vendor has indeed already readied the EFTPOS machi

The stocks app tells me that Samsonite is worth $3bn+. So yeah, why not?

One doesn’t “support” a TLD. One actively un- supports a TLD by way of implementing stupid form validation rules.

I got another response from AAMI and they basically said exactly the same. But when does this end? What's the point in introducing new TLDs if people can't, y'know, use them?

I don't care about traffic to my domain. I just want to use the email address. I'm already invested now, I'm not going back. Plus that just feels like The Wrong Thing To Do.

More importantly to me (OP of this thread here), and of direct relevance to this story, is the fact that the money in question does belong to somebody . Presumably they want it! So me just doing nothing about it already feels bad. Bad in

Nothing has changed since this happened to me, in reverse, in 1996. 18-year-old me had an account with the Halifax, then a building society. One week, £50 appeared in this account. I knew it wasn't for me, and didn't want to spend

Mullvad. No-email signup, pay with Bitcoin, servers all over the place, speeds great. I’ve been with them 6+ months and couldn’t be happier.

Lots of negativity here so far so I’ll chip in and say that, as a cyclist, motorcyclist, and pedestrian, I’m glad to see something happening. Mobile phone use while driving has reached chronic levels. It’s a disgrace. Yes, the police could

I think it’s okay to recognise the shorthand and not feel bad about it. The author of this article clearly doesn’t think he’s describing all culture. I didn’t from the link title. We’re humans, we cut corners. We all understand the intent.

It was not sarcasm! When were you last in Canberra? Apparently it's changed a lot in the last 5 years. I'm also British originally – arrived here '03 – so I never saw it back in the day, but almost everyone I know went on a

Sydney is not the capital! Canberra is, and a fine city it is too. Ironically, given that it is the only city many foreigners could name, Sydney is (arguably) many Australian’s least favourite city. It’s too big, and its geography makes it

So, given these 3 options: 1. Save money. 2. Have 3-5 kids. 3. Kill yourself. What I’m hearing is that you prefer 2 & 3?

Yes, and I noticed similar battery issues. I am using an old iPhone SE, so the battery isn't terrific anyway, but it definitely caused an impact.

See my comments elsewhere in this thread. I’d argue that ‘having unique passwords for every site’ is much more important than 2FA when it comes to the consequences of a site’s database being compromised. For instance, I’ll happily give you

Or you upgrade your phone, or wipe your phone for some reason, and forget that your OTP codes don't transfer over. This is one reason I love OTP codes stored in 1Password. That was until I read a post here which convinced me that this

Funnily enough, I started using Airmail a few months ago, and just today I've started moving back to Mail.app which is, indeed, good enough. In the end I found Airmail a little heavy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve also stopped “check[ing] weekly for new things”, but that’s because I don’t need any new things! Do you? I don’t have Instagram but I imagine it’s a bit like the App Store. I’m waiting somewhere. I’m bored. I know, I’ll check for a shi

Let’s try to make this more constructive than the Herald Sun letters page, shall we? For instance, I read a profile of Jacqui Lambie [0] in The Saturday Paper [1] the other week. I’m a Green-voting Fitzroy-dwelling hipster, literally, but I
