   You're not alone. A webapp with slow spinny widgets coupled with laggy file management. I'm sure it used to be better. I don't need a weather widget telling me what the weather's like outside in a file store and sync app

    So if some websites say v0d4f0n3.com is the site to go to, that's endorsed by Lloyds? Have they thought this out? Does anyone at the FCA read HN? (I think some do.)

    As a language model, this seems consistent with studies in applied linguistics when tourists go overseas and repeat a question the listener doesn't understand several times over. Perhaps try USING ALL CAPS too to simulate talking in a
