An important point that’s buried quite a bit down the article. Grindr seems to be measuring AI success not on features shipped or business value created, but on number of lines of code generated which seems a fairly flaky justification for such a large AI spend personally.

Some banks only provide access via apps (at least in the UK) so loosing access to the app also means you loose access to the bank account.

Happens to the best of people. Appreciate you’re fast and open response.

A package on the list called ‘simple-swizzle’ turns out to be used in OpenNext which is an unexpected attack vector for sure.

They’re API used to work via just providing a VIN however that also allowed remote control so you could just run through all the VINs Nissan uses and turn on remote heating, etc.

In terms of PIN check, the card is just declined with an appropriate error message because you can’t insert it and the next time you use a contactless machine it asks for the card to be inserted and a PIN entered.

For petrol (gas) pumps in the UK it generally auths either £1 or £99.

In the UK you’re taxed more on vehicle excise duty if a car costs more than £45,000 as it’s a luxury.

First thing I do on MacOS is turn on always show scrollbars tbh.

They block your site at the ISP level. They’ve been doing that for years.

Why does it need to be done at each website instead of at the point of access?

In the UK the government sort of does manage a map that’s used as the basis of a lot of others maps called Ordinance Survey Maps.

Isn’t this just 2 tables with one hidden at a time?
