  • Yeah that’s it! My credit union doesn’t support it either but I was able to add to Apply Pay anyway.

    I get the privacy concerns though. I feel a little safer with it because it further blocks the actual card and the card’s sensitive numbers from prying eyes while out in public. But I can get how you’d feel trusting the corporation, whether it be Apple or Google or Samsung with it in their digital possession.


  • Check out the newer cards with NFC where you can swipe them across wirelessly. It takes some getting used to, to figure out where that sweet spot is, but it’s awesome. I used to have the problem of my cards getting scratched but not anymore.

    If your bank/credit company doesn’t support them, see if you can use your phone instead. I use Apple Pay all the time which has been so much better too. Not having to pull out my wallet and instead just double tap my watch or double tap my phone and look at it.




  • Think a lot of that is out of Microsoft’s hands. Sort of like the way Netflix went. Other companies began pulling their stuff off the service and Microsoft/Netflix has no choice in the matter.

    I say this because I’ve been playing older games like Fable II and Fable III without any issues over GamePass for years. But those titles are effectively controlled by Microsoft, so they can keep it or take it off whenever they please.

    Hopefully we don’t end up with a situation like Netflix where all these other publishers create their own streaming services alongside GamePass because I will not subscribe to 50 different services. I don’t for television, as it is. Thankfully EA’s is included in GamePass because I wouldn’t have it on its own without it.


  • I hate these requests so fucking much. I’ve learned a lot of SQL because of it but I’m sick of it. Especially sick of the users who ask for the same data over and over again.

    One guy asked me to run a report every first of the month and then he wouldn’t respond when I would send it so I stopped sending it. Additionally because he would request it AGAIN later in the month after I already sent it at the beginning of the month.

    Guess it’s too much to search your fucking emails before requesting a new report to be run. A report that I’ve told you countless times will slow down everything for everyone else who’s using the system.

    But tHis iS uRgENt aSAp to run a report asking for all data for the last 3 years.


  • My issue in my area is that they keep building new housing but no new developments to the road infrastructure. Traveling anywhere is a chore.

    It used to be a semi-rural area but people from neighboring metropolitan areas started moving in and traffic is horrendous. They’ve started bringing up property values as well. Which has been nice for me since I now have a decent chunk of equity, but my house should not be worth anywhere near what it supposedly is now.

    I’ll be able to work from home exclusively soon and I cannot wait. My morning commute is 40 minutes for a 15 mile journey.
