   Thankyou. I would browse Workplace SE quite a bit (it seems to feature on the 'Hot Questions' list regularly) and Monica Cellio has always come across as decent/smart/sincere, so yeah, that's pretty bizarre.

   Yeah fair, Fiddler is definitely well...fiddly, and a bit dated as well. Agree that it's good to see new alternatives.

    I use the phone app every time I go through the Mcdonalds drive thru (in the UK). I order on my phone, drive up, give them the order number. This is already a thing. The only thing it's missing is number plate recognition, so I don&#x2

    I remember the DefCon 20 talk, Bigger Monsters, Weaker Chains with William Binney - https://youtu.be/sqIz-RNUL1g This was in 2012, 2013 was when Snowden did what he did. I always wondered if he saw this talk and was motiv

    Surely Apple pay works offline because your balance is checked by the card reader before the transaction is approved, in the same way it is when you use a contactless debit card?

    I'm not sure if this is an urban myth or not, but I've heard many times they intentionally had a tacky looking website for years for this reason. Granted their current website is fairly decent/usable.

    I've noticed Safari on iOS offering to generate a password and store it when I register for new sites recently. It works pretty well (until I'm on Windows and need the password).
