I can move my left hand down to leg height, and feel 4 buttons and a jog dial (and that's for things that aren't on the steering wheel). I know what all of them do. I don't need to look. The menus are at eye level so I don&#x

It's called Strong Customer Authentication in the UK. I'm merely repeating what I understand of it, and what I have actually read on bank websites. For example: "In a ‘card present’ scenario, the convenience of contactless at

Chip & PIN cards (at least in the UK) have limits before you're forced to verify again via C&P. It's usually a £ amount or # of transactions. Apple Pay does not force the above, as you have already identified yourself via

Apparently Twitter have given blue marks to the people that were involved in the movement behind this, so they get blocked by it. Amusing.

They have NOTAMs out to keep the airspace clear, and also have to keep a few different sections of sea clear of marine traffic (2 landing zones, and an area surrounding the takeoff zone). Add to that road closures, people evacuated from the
