Eh, but at least the additional content on the news channels could be seen as somewhat useful. There is nothing useful about watching another random clip of Subway Surfers.
I can speak to this one intimately. Your body informs your mind. You, as a worm, would not be the same person. You would not have the same thought processes. Simply dude to the physiological changes. We aren’t ghosts piloting around meat shells and the ghosts is where our consciousness lies. The meat shell is. Take away a major part of the meat and it literally affects how you think. Turn someone into a worm and they will think like a worm.
To be fair, I wasn’t expecting to hear that you were coming into a conversation about contactless payments, using a word like “skimming” and meaning something completely out-of-context.
I just thought up a great business model and it’s five times as exploitive as doordash plus we could roll it out for Christmas. By the time the novelty has worn off we should all (and by we, I mean everyone who isn’t working for or using the app) be rich. Who wants to help me build doordance?
Honestly I wonder how well these PTP payments would work in my home state considering how now one used them and phones are infomas for not working on top of a lot of places being cash only so I can only imagine how few places can even except g pay
The establishment taking payment needs to communicate with their merchant provider (otherwise they’d never get their money), but I’m not sure that the phone does. It’s similar to contactless cards, but uses a different floor limit so you don’t need to enter a PIN, as it’s assumed that if you’ve unlocked the phone then you’re authorised to make payments.
Isn’t moble data the stuff your phone uses too communicate like the main reason why people don’t use their phones outside in my home state is due to how there’s a lot of dead zones where it can’t communicate no calls, texts or Internet connection. When travailing the only thing your phone really can do is play angry birds and take pictures because the environment is basically forcing your phone to be on airplane mode
Yeah, if you’ve got no internet then you can’t do all the nice internet things.
Pretty sure you’d need internet (wifi would do) to set up Apple/Google Pay on your phone, but I don’t think you need internet when out and about paying for things.
Looks like the Google one needs to phone home every so often, but should work for “a limited number of transactions”. Whether that’s by value or by transaction count I don’t know. It certainly seems to be instant whenever I use it, which makes me think it doesn’t rely on internet access.
