Banana peels are delicious if cooked correctly. You can make a surprisingly tasty "facon" with them.

Go down to literally any 2nd hand phone store and buy a refurb. None of your money will go to Google and you'll have your phone at a fraction of the new price.

I agree in those specific cases (and I've spent a long time inside Government trying to encourage more adoption of .gov.uk and .NHS.uk). But when you get a text with "your Amazon parcel is delayed plz visit amazaoncom.parcel-delay

I dont see how org.ukpaynatwest-online is any easier to spot as a scam. Take a look at many of the domains you see in phishing emails / texts. They're all pretty obvious if you spend all day looking at domains and considering thei

There are some gTLDs like .bank which require a high level of verification. The applicant has to be a financial institution etc. The problem is twofold. I've never seen a .bank domain in the wild and users generally don't looks a

Perhaps they complain because that's literally the only way to get Google to take notice? Let's be real, AOSP doesn't exist any more. Google have closed down nearly everything. All the development happens in private, you&#x27

OK, so I have a legitimate domain. I can add any subdomain I want without recourse. projects.example.com or new.cool.thing.example.com So nothing stops me from registering a legitimate domain, using it for a bit, then launching the subdomai

I think the "actual objection" is the hardest part. The UK Government might legitimately object to the registration of `dwpgov-uk-payments.pizza` but should they be allowed to object to `dwp-gov-uk-stole-my-payments.fart`? One mig

Yes. It offers cryptographic proof that you physically have the passport with you. It also gets a digital copy of the photo and other biometrics held on the NFC chip. From a user point of view it reduces the number of typos entered.

They even called it "Physical Web". It was a lovely concept - even if it did abuse Bluetooth beacons somewhat.

NFC reading is one. That's why lots of Governments publish apps - it's a reliable way to check your passport if you need a visa etc. It might be coming to the web - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs&#

Looking at my spending in the UK, about 90% goes through Amex. Even the small corner shop takes it.

In the UK (which broadly follows the same rules), I get 0.25% with a Visa and 1.25% with Amex. Sometimes there are introductory offers for a few months.

You've described the exact problem. Sub pixel rendering exploits the fact that most display pixels aren't discrete logical squares. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering
