Persuade a friend who owes you some money to install it. Keep track of how much you owe each other.

Yes, but that's a good thing. It handle's the microtransaction case in a small community cheaply (I paid the bill today, you can pay next week) but scales to being a service banks could join and offer.

I would market this as an app for a few friends to install and keep track of what they owe each other when one of them settles the bill at a restaurant. Whoever owed the most could settle that day, and everyone else's bill would be ded

Whole foods is part of Amazon. They can afford to offer the discount because it's their own sales. Internally, Chase probably charge Whole Foods for the cashback.

I presume its why rewards cards are much less common, yes. There are some cards that earn "points" at much lower levels. There are also e.g. a Sainsbury's card that earns points in Sainsbury's and a Tesco card that earns

I would be interested to know what teenage engineering say about this. Hopefully they'll approve and provide more details. If it's "You will void your warranty", then I would avoid buying from them.

How does f-droid police "shovelware and spyware"? Or just outright malware? Surely they will remove it? In which case your favourite app might be "arbitrarily removed"?

Zoom does not do end-to-end encryption. End to end encryption means that only the end user can decrypt the message. Zoom central can decrypt the message, because they hold the keys. They mostly don't bother, but that's just an opt

The title of this is confusing. It should be something like "Share OBS output as a webcam in Hangouts, Zoom etc." OBS can do vision mixing between Webcams, pre-recorded video files, Screen shares, NDI streams etc. with picture in

He's blaming his security design issues on the fact that a lot of people have joined the service recently, saying it wasn't designed for that. But it seems to have coped fine with the load - it's been working perfectly for me

Is it possible that the original author of these tracks is the one who has uploaded them to DistroKid? In which case it's not stealing at all. I guess it's fairly unlikely, though.
