It's cool that you can buy a bunch of guns, fill out all the proper paperwork, then go sell them to people in a gun-free-city and even after the people you sell them to get arrested the source of their guns are never followed up on.

You can use chip+pin to buy them I bet.

They should put the chip in the gun so we can find these fucktards and blow them to smithereens.

I agree, guns should be banned

guns = legal

lsd = illegal

one kills people and one sets them free

I guess it makes sense though coz one of the original listed problem effects of lsd was "challenging authority" whereas guns keep the populace fearful so yeah

Do ATMs in the USA just make you swipe your card or do you need to insert kt?

there are both variants. Usually you have to insert them (like at a branch) but some ghetto lite atms that charge $3.00 or something in a bodega or taco shack are just swipe.

most skeevy atms in chicago have switched to dip as well. you can tell a few of the new ones are starting to get chip readers added because they grab your card for a moment and then tell you to rip it out.

getting the cadence of those things takes some practice

some early implementations of chip ATMs had lovely software that would prompt you for the "Application" you need to chose off the chip, which no one is going to know what to do with

i've been presented with "VISA DEBIT" and "US DEBIT" because there is specific poo poo they had to do with US debit cards per the durban amendment

it's definitely a little slower than swiping, but the terminals vary wildly in how they function, some are really bad

stick the card in while the cashier is ringing poo poo up

because its an actual computer chip on the card that has to be interacted with by the terminal

it has to be powered on, boot up, and some back and forth information exchange occurs before even the authorization request/response goes out to the bank

i mean it doesn't actually take that long to talk to the chip, it "boots" nearly instantly. generally the time is it connecting to the server and validating the transaction, or it's lovely weak hardware in the reader or something like that. i have a smart card that (this thread taught me!) uses the same technology that can do a signature in under a second so there's no real hardware limit on that end that's making them take a while, yet some of them manage to take 45 loving seconds (but others do it in like 2 seconds) :iiam:

all my chip+signature transactions outside the US are pretty drat quick because they've had chip terminals for a decade and they're all p. deecee

poland got on the using cards for everything bandwagon a bit late so almost every terminal there has contactless payment, you can apple pay at no-name tiny rear end shops in the middle of nowhere

I used one the other day that looked ancient as gently caress, and sure enough the whole thing took 30+ seconds. Which is crazy long. Normally will be done in 10 - 15 from card in to card out. Contactless is even better, like 3 seconds.

I noticed something weird in an ATM recently though. After putting my 4 digit pin in they usually spin wheels while authenticating. I found one that took the pin and instantly returned control to me to withdraw, view balance etc. I tried to withdraw and then it told me I had put the wrong pin in, so it must just avoid doing the auth until you actually pick a specific action or it does it asynchronously

thats probably online vs offline authentication

all us atms are online auth since we don't have chip+pin, so they behave like that, they don't check your pin until after you specify how much money you want etc

10 seconds seems way longer than it normally takes for me. try counting next time you do it, it's quicker than you think
