It’s clean coal a oxymoron. Like dry water or cold fire

Plz

You should try apps. Be good UK try other side. Can always cancel after a trial period. It’s easier to block google pay than a card, but only by a fraction. Both can be completed in app.

That is true but it’s an antiquated system that requires updating. But I get ya.

My phone is password and fingerprint protected and I change the password regularly. No one would be attempting that. My Family members would never attempt something so brazen and my friends wouldn’t gain access. But again I can understand the point. It’s pretty out there. You could use the same argument for a card. If someone gets access to your card it has all the details available to you and doesn’t require password or fingerprint

In dome ways yes but that’s the system we live

Oh I don’t disagree with biometrics. They are the ultimate in security. But if you lose access you are fucked.

They could be spoofed. But each year it’s harder and harder and as I said. Petty crime would weigh up the odds. Contactless card that you can use a few times before locked or need to spoof a fingerprint to get into a phone and then use contactless.

I know which one id choose. Also we need to keep the phone connected to the Google account. Increasing my ability to trace you and retrieve my phone. Card will ping location but it doesn’t say where your house is. I can remotely lock my Google phone and trace it. Can’t do that with card. I think phone is a Much riskier endeavor.

And I will be er revert to using card. As states above it’s a worse experience in all aspects. Easier to lose card, easier to be stolen and worse protection. Always have phone on me and can do a multitude of jobs. Card can do one thing.

That’s the pay off isn’t it. Google data vs bank data. It’s the same data yet It inconveniences me more. Same outcome.

Literally no one is haggling. That’s a ridiculous proposition. When was the last time you haggle for a beer. Money is cumbersome and completely unnecessary. Yes it’s great for illicit nefarious reasons. 99% of people have no need for that. Cash means wallets pockets and then I’m stuck with useless change.

Cash hadn’t been king for a while. Jesus during COVID-19 places wouldn’t even accept it. Contactless or I don’t shop there.

Sorry. Where are fingerprint readers easy to crack ? Maybe government agencies and high level crime syndicates. Not petty thief’s. I don’t use phone pin. I use fingerprint as discussed.

I don’t use card pin so that’s not an issue. The problem would be a contactless card. Which is the debate we are currently engaged in.

So no. I’ll stick with my phone using Google pay. I had my card skimmed with a card reader and my bank emptied. Funnily enough has never happened with my phone.

How would they use my phone? It’s locked and requires fingerprint to unlock? Card requires nothing. Can lock down phone. Can lock card but need to contact bank.

I don’t want to tap the card. Point of preference. I don’t have a wallet. I have a phone.

Fair point. Is there an alternative to Google pay. I don’t use a card and pretty much refuse to use anywhere that requires care or cash

So google pay doesn’t work. That’s a bastard

Does graphene allow banking apps ? Does it trip safety net ?

Aren’t they differing systems? Graphene was mostly pixel / Google devices. Whereas lineageos was a hunch of different devices. Lineageos was an evolution from cryomod

Same. Would like a tad less. Although I like nerdy. It’s all I get. I like gardening and games

Literally in Auckland tower sky city

I’ve been here a few times as I lived in Durham. Then moved to Auckland NZ. Prefer the English tower. Less casinos

Hate speech. Do you not have laws

Why isn’t he charged with hate crime. If I said the same I’d be prosecuted

Yeah I used to use lineage on OnePlus 5 I think. But safety net wouldn’t allow my bank to work and obviously broke pay.

Unfortunately that’s a deal breaker. Until there’s another system to pay. Miband, ring , fingerprint whatever.

I need to keep Google for those things. I haven’t used cash since 2018

But does Google pay and banking apps work ?

Been up since 8 and Firefox is currently using 24%. 2 hours and it’s smashing battery.

Not sure if this is new after they upgraded to Android 14

Most Australian thing ever. Im.not surprised in the slightest
