I know a financial website (holds people’s money) that enforces a short login password and disallows symbols in it. I wonder if there’s a regulator I can report them to. Though I wouldn’t expect a financial regulator to give a monkey's…

I wonder if some outfits do this because they’re trying to reduce the number of people who go 'Waah! Waah! I can’t remember the fancy password I devised!' You’d think the forgot password links would take care of that though, so it’s probably something else. Maybe their I.T. managers are old boys who learned their trade in the seventies.

Well, for the life of me, I can’t find a black card anywhere. Even proper photography shops don’t sell them. Perhaps they’re out of fashion nowadays. Finding something online when its name is just made of very common dictionary words is tricky. I suppose making one wouldn’t be hard…

@joeo10 It’s just because the 5S can’t do 13. Ingratiation is annoying though. I don’t use iCloud on the Mac…and there’s a constant bright red blob-zit reminding me about it, as if not using iCloud was an error that required a warning.

Typical of me. I just discovered an iOS feature by accident/slip up. If you tap and hold on selected text, the blue turns white and you can move the selection elsewhere in the document/box. I’ve been copying and pasting.

(still on iOS 12)

@axodys I can manage some thinking if the music is more ambient, but I’d still prefer to a)have silence for my cogitation b)give music my full attention and really take it in. It’s hard to do nothing but listen to music in this fast modern world though…

@matigo How curious. I wonder how that works.

@matigo I can’t listen to music while thinking about things. I have a simple, linear brain. Those of you who can must have more sophisticated brains.

@matigo I’m not sure. Possibly.

Is the approach of a cyclone the only time when the term 'making landfall' is used?

@matigo They don’t like you doing to them what they do to you? Shocking.
