In which the Americans freeze bitcoin accounts. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this. |

From the Apple that made cellphones that failed to work as phones if you held them wrong, we present the credit card that you're storing it wrong: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/19/08/22/219211/apple-advises-owners-of-its-new-credit-card-to-keep-it-away-from-leather-denim "you're not supposed to store your iCard next to your other cards, in your very expensive leather wallet, or in anything that isn't a Apple-approved credit card sleeve!" Why in the hell Apple (or anyone that makes electronics and computers) is now on the credit card biz!? And who in the fuck cares about how a bank card looks?! Look, mine are ugly (half by design because banks aren't in the pocket art paintings business but in the "making money with YOUR money" realm, half by wear-and-tear due to normal use and abuse), but as long as the PoS/ATM can interact with the EMV IC on it, who cares? (example: my last Visa credit card doesn't even have the shiny silvery coating on the embossed numbers and letters, and our debit cards are printed, not embossed or engraved - better write down those numbers on a safe place because they WILL get erased after a few months of use!) Oh right, Apple users are a special kind of "special" - next thing I'm going to hear are Applecard users suing Verifone or Diebold-Nixdorf because their PoS terminals and ATMs scratched their delicate pure titanium chip contacts on their solid titanium iCards...

Meh, retail banking is plenty disgusting anyway. I'm happy if Apple curb-stomps that whole industry. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this. |

And I want my cellphone brand FAR AWAY from my saving accounts, thanks. Meanwhile, in Soviet Russia, birds and corn lands your airplanes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural_Airlines_Flight_178 ...I'm amazed that the plane didn't burst into flames - the pilots are some special class of badassery considering that noone died and that nothing became a blazing fireball.

I don't see why Apple would try to rip me off any more than my ordinary bank would. I already get zero interest, with a few banks even going negative, and the deposits themselves are FDIC insured anyway. What are they going to do, take the principal and run? Personally, I don't even have a savings account. No point to it, when you can just keep it in your checking account for the same interest or invest it. Anyway, my point is this, retail banking is one of those industries which really should have gotten disrupted yesterday, and I'm glad to see it finally happening, with all the fintech startups and robo-advisors and whatnot.

A credit card that can't be kept in a wallet or pocket because it might get discolored is so very Apple. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

So flag the entire site with scary, hard-to-bypass warnings because ... it doesn't like a single program link, and no way to appeal this to an actual human. Lovely. |

Google being Google, I guess. It's just an annoying surprise when I try to go on the board and get greeted by a page screaming bloody murder. I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

All I can do now is wait. Even if I did remove the completely harmless file, it'd take at least 72 hours to process. |
