You mean a phone to receive a text for MFA? "Most" can't be more than that. However there are a couple of new "Fintech" banks in the UK that are mobile app only. No website and I assume very difficult to get anyone

So you agree he was killed and didn't deserve to die. You are just annoyed that such a "fuss" was made about it, and that he was black has nothing to do with it. Got it.

"Few if any had all of these factors." The UK certainly doesn't have all of them for a start. The lock-downs had high levels of compliance, just a lot of people moaning from their sofa (or whatever soapbox they have available

The commenter claims to want to removed "FUD" from the dialogue. Then proceeds to dispense with their own "FUD" about scared parents desperately trying to vaccinate their children. Apparently no one else can think for th

I have also been annoyed by damaged books and is one reason I avoid Amazon. I've had them arrive damaged from specialist online book stores as well, but not as often. The only way to avoid that is to go to the book store and inspect th

Who is acting like that? The main criticism I have seen about EU funding is that it only gets allocated to the "easy" projects like renovating a park or some information board. Not that such things would never exist. However even

I'm not sure I understand. A large company has a whole team and a small start-up has one person assign the task? That sounds entirely reasonable.

You have been able to do that since email existed. You would just pay a few cents extra a month to your ISP for them to run the servers. Their business model wasn't data mining and behavioural manipulation.

I can tell you (I'm English) and i would expect most people can (with those preferring feet skewing older of course). The only "in your face" use of imperial is speed limits. Maybe one day that will get fixed.

The interface is complicated, but they are not "dumb". The problem is there are too many features packed into a an interface that could be mistaken for something designed 20 years ago. For some people that is not an issue, but it

I was just thinking the other day, was it worth using rclone to encrypt the file names in the B2 bucket I used for backup. Given that it limits you to the rclone tool to access files for recovery. A resounding yes it seems...

Teens/young adults surely have far more opportunities to make real life friends than working age adults. They are at least required to attend school. I would say that this is more the lifestyle of adults after being out of education fo

Yeah this is not the case for 2013/2016, although Exchange CUs are a full installer you can run a fresh install from. Unusual for Microsoft software updates in that respect I believe, and it kind of makes sense that would require a val

It depends on the property. A purpose built apartment building owned by a property company (of which there are many in European towns/cities) can easily be a home for large part of person (or families) life. There are also fairly stron

It seems to be the other way round to me. Certain Bitcoin fans can't stand that other "hackers" don't buy into the Bitcoin story as religiously as they do. As the other comment pointed out, for FOMO to be this "powe

I agree, the UK is on a fast track to a judiciary corrupted by useless politicians like Johnson. But I have a little more faith than you in the system as it stands currently. There is even a chance of saving it with a little more push back

The same can be said of any investment opportunity. It comes down to the amount you have available to invest, and how much effort you want to put into it. For those who want a low effort fairly safe hedge against inflation and currency chan

Say one is still sitting on 3650 coins from 2011, and you decide now is the time to sell the lot. How exactly do you "cash out" that amount? Sell to Elon maybe? ;)

I have a Shark also, sub £200 (£170 i think), pretty sure a similar Dyson was easily twice the price. It is quite, light (its one of the hand held models) and certainly powerful enough for general use around the house.
