seabreeze.com.au.com is ok?
Google being over protective to noobs... The bung site is damnlol and it wont let me on there to check it blocked by google. (ma computer is a download bunkie)
Leave it to the experts?
Off topic?
The other day i bought some fuel.I went to the counter and the chick just put my atm card in front of machine thing and the transaction was done? My card had been recently sent to us because my old cars was out of date i didn't realize it had that it could purchase stuff without a pin or signature???
So im thinking my cards ATM has accessible information and is able to transact money without my knowledge?
Whats to stop someone with a new hacked iPhone with a atm scanner walking down the street withdrawnig money of people wallets unknowingly without consent etc?
Macro- mods will answer but someone probably hotlinked (direct linked) one image from that site to the funny pics thread. I wouldn't be too worried.
Buster - never heard of paywave? It's in every maccas, bunnings, woolies, 7-11, etc.
Short answer, nothing stopping that happening. You would be reimbursed no questions asked. VISA takes on the risk so you don't have to worry your little head about it.
It fkin rocks (when it works which is only 1/2 the time at the moment), I wish it was up to $200 not $100.
whoopps that would be me that linked my last post.
Sorry for the hassle, didn't know that would happen
kk if it's any help.. I use a chrome extension 'imgur the world'.
If i see an image and want to share, just right-click and choose 'upload to imgur'. It opens a new tab with the image uploaded to imgur. Next to the image is a copy button with the page address and the tags already added.
So it's right-click, click on new tab, click copy, and paste into forum reply. Makes it very fast/easy to post a picture, and it's not hot-linked either.
No, I tried to remove it but there is no button to edit or delete a post in the funny pics tread it seems? But out of curiosity went and had a look at damnlol.com, seems to be the mother load of the funny photo's around the web. You may need to disable the nanny net that seems to be set as the default with most programs and OS these days, I hate being protected from myself!!!
Dawnie / Dave: I have an issue with paywave/pass though. Yes Visa covers it, if it is fraudulent. But Visa's policy is 30 days before they return the money to you.
You'd be stoked if you were overseas, or a long way out in the bush and needed your last $90 from your card but it was milked.
I had a $1K transaction for airline tickets in India and the BANK rang me as they knew it was sus. Pretty obvious when my transactions that day were all in Perth. The day after that I was supposed to pick up a board and couldn't as I had no quids.
I protested and said YOU rang ME as you knew it was a bullsh!t transaction but I don't get my money for a month? My bank said yep, that's right, we'd love to give you the money but it is Visa policy.
I'd rather spend 0.5sec putting in my PIN and be safe, but I guess paywave stuff is the way of the world now where convenience (laziness?) is king.
^ What did that have to do with paywave?
Card numbers/identities are stolen from your mail or rubbish. You give your card details to strangers over the phone all the time, and the dodgy chinese take-away down the road. Then there are programs that just generate valid numbers. As a programmer you have to sign a thingy to say you won't release the formula for all sorts of numbers, but millions of people sign this.
As stated above it's such big business they'll refund anything stolen as it's negligible to visa and co.
Simple, if you're worried about the tiny tiny chance of a walk-by paywave theft, just line your wallet with alfoil. I'm sure pm can direct you to the appropriate video with directions
I love nothing more than paying without opening my wallet. In servos I can be in and out barely stopping at the counter.
I can tell you from experience that when the card is in the wallet you need to lay it on the reader, even a 1cm gap will stop it reading.
So... to get a read, a stranger would have to be rubbing pretty solidly up against your wallet pocket. How often does that happen Mark?
