Just lol at anyone who eats in Spitalfields for any reason at all. Better, cheaper, and way more varied food is available in like two minutes in literally any direction.

I like Bleecker Burger but you're right. Sadly I didn't get a choice in restaurants this time.

Absolutely do not sleep on 2FA, it's quick, easy and standardised, and it adds an important layer of security that's difficult to circumvent. That's proper 2FA through an app though, SMS based 2FA is way too vulnerable.

I thought the same until my phone got nicked with an authenticator app on it and I was permanently locked out of a bunch of stuff - including losing access to all the Switch games I'd bought.

Now I'm SMS only.

Maybe I'm being dense, but given how many people have their banking etc apps on the same phones that have a MFA app and also their SMS and emails, so if your phone gets nicked, then whoever stole it has access to everything. I just can't see how this is more secure than just having a simple password on your bank etc.

Well the banking apps on my phone need a fingerprint to access so anyone who stole it shouldn't be able to get in. Plus the phone's own security should theoretically keep them out unless they really really want to get it.

Sorry for your loss, but in a country of millions, with 10000 deaths a week in normal times, stories of individuals are not important, no matter how strongly they make you feel

Lot of chat about the euromillions at work today. Keep meaning to remember to win that

If one hypothetically did come into a hundred million quid what would be the best way to use it for the benefit of the most people? Part of me feels as though the most efficient way would be to have a WhatsApp number or something that's just 'text me whatever you need paying and I'll sort it no questions asked'. But then it's open to Mr snrub types so you'd need them to provide proof and then you're still holding your money over people's heads

Could you set up some sort of sex ghost foundation for good lads and lasses but since I'm very stupid and don't understand the investments required to keep the fund going I would require outside help and that would turn it into every other lovely charity that works to enrich itself

You could theoretically set up some sort of political action group but that feels a bit lib dem 'just vote!' for my tastes

Is the answer really just driving around Mario balotelli style and just handing out notes to people on the street

The answer is that thinking about this stuff is a waste of time and can lead to a gambling habit.

I initially misread the second tweet as the EU rightfully banning UK water due to the piss and faeces, but no, we are going to banning EU mineral water to promote our... <checks notes>.... toilet water.

I don't think the government is banning Evian or whatever, just that anyone importing mineral water needs to be recertified from January.

Any advice please?

Could you not get in touch with the parents directly? Put a sign up at the local community centre/food bank saying you're willing to help out financially at Christmas and set up a specific email address for them to get in contact with you. You'd have to deal with the (probably miserable) task of trying to screen out chancers yourself, but at least it cuts out the middle man.

How does this work? What is stopping anyone just taking whatever without linking their bank? This feels like it wouldn't take too much effort to abuse.

they say it's impossible to steal from these shops - they scan your ID and apparently the tech creates an 3D exoskeleton image of you and knows exactly what you're doing and what you're picking up.

What if you pick something up and put it down on another shelf?

I'm guessing the argument for this tech is simply that if the cost of having staff exceeds the cost of technical glitches and shoplifting then it's worth it to fully automate.

Government should set up to be the supplier of last resort. Works well enough for the trains.

And then just keep the contracts. Boom, nationalised.

A mysterious figure calmly says thank you in Mandarin down the phone, hangs up, and turns on his leather swivel chair to look at a wall of TVs announcing the nationalisation of yet another industry. Curiously he seems to be gently stroking a large horseradish....
