In New Zealand, the local EFTPOS network is basically a home-grown network that the major NZ banks established in the 1980s's and have continued operating on a shoe-string budget ever since. For the most part merchants only have to pay

None of the other current browsers support XP either. Chrome stopped supporting XP a few years back. Edge isn't available at all on XP. Even IE wasn't backported so XP users are stuck with the last version of IE with XP support. I

Just out of interest I looked at Windy.com on Firefox/Linux and it looks fine? No blue/yellow banding. Wind gusts seem to show up fine. I've also had a look at the other stuff (e.g. waves, clouds, etc) which all seem to work

It fails on other browsers as well (e.g. Firefox on Linux) and someone has discovered[1] that it may well be a Netlify bug (sending more data than it's supposed to). I agree with your point that that Apple could do better but in this c

I have a old Gmail account from years ago I don't use as my main account anymore. It's amazing how much spam messages it gets. I swear my main account with Fastmail receives a tiny fraction of the spam despite the address for that

I recall having to provide this around 2013 or so around the time I got an iPhone 5. But possibly it was part of their credit card verification? That could explain why some have been asked and not others.

Can you cite examples of prepay SIMs that charge only $1/GB without any strings attached? I've travelled overseas and have looked into local SIMs and can't really recall any that cheap with reasonable restrictions (e.g. valid

Swisscom as a older RSP probably is sitting on a huge block of IPv4 addresses, whereas newer RSPs usually have much smaller blocks. Hence older RSPs tend to continue with IPv4 as they have enough addresses to do this, whereas newer ones are

Are you using their CPE, and a recent one at that? Several RSPs here in New Zealand are starting to enable IPv6 on new CPE gear they supply to end users (although Spark, our equivalent to your BT, has remained the only large provider to not

Bitwarden is free, so zero? I would be happy to make a recurring small donation though like I do for various projects on GitHub.

That becomes a problem when you work across both ecosystems. I use devices in both ecosystems so an independent password sync utility is necessary for me to be able to access the same set of passwords on my macOS, Linux, Windows and Android

That's not the case everywhere. Depending on your network's configuration, it's entirely possible to have areas of high traffic where 3G service is so poor even 4G is miles ahead. This is because networks may decide to provid

The phone should still work for other functions so if stuff like data etc stopped working entirely it does seem possible it was due to a SIM being blocked/disabled.

I note Firefox is turning this on country by country. Perhaps they could turn it on for certain countries (possibly including yours, Australia) but leave it off for others (like New Zealand where all ISPs don't interfere with DNS).

In many orgs three days of no email would be a serious show stopper. I dare say that if I was CTO of a company that relies on email (which is pretty much the majority of companies) I would be wary of choosing IBM for anything critical from

It's not quite as good as the native app on Windows/macOS. I definitely prefer the latter so I would be quite disappointed. About the only app that offers a equivalent experience between web and app versions is Teams (seeing as it

My organisation has used 365 for the last two or so years (after migration from Google) and I can't say I've noticed much difference in reliability between the two. Google has their bad days as well. What in particular have you no

Earlier models (such as the A3000 my family bought in the early '90s) booted from ROM and would drop you at a desktop in literally 1-2 seconds. The POST screen was basically just "RISC OS 2.00 2048K RAM" (or something along t

Fastmail is fantastic if you have an iOS device. They provide a file which you simply download/open on your iOS device and it automatically configures your phone to access FastMail mail, calendar, contacts, etc. I believe they use the

Strange I've had numerous issues with USB-A cables and plugs over the years. Not saying USB-C is any better because only time will tell, but let's not pretend USB-C was the pinnacle of reliability.

I know of at least one OS Certbot package where the check is only done weekly--FreeBSD. Would be interested to know if the twice-daily approach is the default in other OS packages.

Wow apparently Bitwarden is already set as the autofill service. So it does seem like the Android implementation is not quite as polished as the iOS. Although I'll definitely have to teet a device from a different vendor to be sure it&
