I have a very basic/silly question.
#EducateMePlease

Are #TapToPay #wearables usable at any* terminal where you can tap-to-pay with a card? Should be, right?

When I'm out riding 🚲 I normally don't carry my credit card. If wearables are a sure thing and like using a card then I think I might just get one. Many places I frequent have tap-to-pay. But I've only seen it done with cards. I haven't seen/noticed anyone* here 🇵🇭 paying with wearables. Maybe #banks here don't allow it yet? 🤔

Well, my techie masto neighbors, it's that time again...

#fakeOS? (see captions)

I bought this cheap non branded #i15 mini #phone online to use on my bike. It claimed to have Android 14. But in checking for updates I see that it's actually Android 8. Not a big deal for a cheap phone, but then... If in the About view it shows 14, this isn't a solid OS. It's been tampered? The icons were wrong too.

If I don't use bank and email apps on it, what's the worst that can happen? 😳

is it possible to get an alert for when an molecular entity shows up in the literature (patent or otherwise), as one can with an article or author? #database #citationalert #scifinder #webofscience #academicchat #chemistry #chemiverse #proflife #EducateMePlease #science

On Friday I did something I normally wouldn't do. I knee-jerk clicked a link in an email. #OnlyHuman 😖

It took me to what looked like a website's plain text error page.

I panicked. Asked Copilot what to do since it's sitting there in my browser, then turned off my 💻's #wifi.

I Slacked my bosses 📱. 1 replied saying probably nothing bad happened and if I wanted to be sure I could reset my MacBook to start all fresh.

Advice? Suggestions?

How do you get through your work day? #EducateMePlease

My kind of #work requires me to be present* and react* to things that come up from co-workers and bosses.

I feel unproductive. I can do better, I just can't quite get there. I'm so scattered-brained. Not necessarily a bad* thing. I think of it as a feature of me just being me, not a flaw. 🤪

I've read on #TimeBlocking #DayTheming #TaskBatching #PomodoroTechnique. Trouble with implementation. Can't quite make them fit for me. 😕

Any advice?

#EducateMePlease about #LiteSpeedCache.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-exploit-litespeed-cache-flaw-to-create-wordpress-admins/

Is this something that's built into every* #WordPress installation? Could my WP site be affected?

I've been getting quite a number of attempted* #logins by losers with no honor or higher purpose and with nothing better to do with their sad lives.

So far I don't notice any weird signs of actual intrusion... But maybe I'm just too clueless to notice. 🧐 #NotATechie #websites #blogs

Is there a limit to how many extension displays* a #computer can have?

Right now I got a #MacBook M1 connected to an external monitor via HDMI (via a hub). 💻🖥️

I'd like to add another. 🖥️

The hub's HDMI port is already taken by the current monitor. 🖥️ It still has a VGA, USB-C and USB ports. Saw some modestly-sized external monitor online 🏪 that will supposedly connect via USB.

Before I buy, any reason or chance that hub USB ports would not work with a 3rd display?

Woh 😲 What is this #PikaPods thingy?

Help me understand...

Does it basically work like #webhosting except that it's per #app? Like only #WordPress and no other installations?

I still haven't fixed my #website. 😅 So I haven't done any posting there for a couple of years now. Maybe this pika thing suits me better. 🤔

But will I still be able to use my #domain with an #email service?

Wow. 😳 In less than an hour, the droopy #Celosia got all perky after watering. 😃👍

The orange one seems much* thirstier than the crimson one. It gets really* droopy. 🤷‍♀️ Been needing to water it every 2 days.

I find the difference in behavior strange since, except for the color of the flowers, they look like the exact same variety. To me, anyway. #clueless #YellowThumbs #plants #EducateMePlease #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

Hey, people 👋🤓 Anybody know if this self-watering setup is suitable for ALL* types of #plants, including those that don't require daily watering -- like #sansevieria, #pothos, #JadePlant, #MoneyPlant?
