I used Apple Pay - visa to charge something yesterday and it went through. I only have one Visa card in Applepay and it was changed-automatically to the new card #. I don¡¯t know whether to be pleased or upset. Pleased that I didn¡¯t lose my ability to use the card after the first one was cancelled but it is kind of scary that Apple and Visa have this ability.

Re: The Courier-Journal E-Edition Article - Apple¡¯s Vision Pro
Harry, I¡¯m a guy that listens to hundreds of Audio Books, many Biographies, Autobiographies. Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Charlie Munger, Ray Dalio, Tony Robbins and on and on it goes. I also listen to a plethora of investment works. I¡¯VE NEVER HAD ONE TOTALLY CHANGE MY THINKING like ¡°The Coming WAVE¡± by Mustafa Suleyman.

I don¡¯t know how to describe it, our world is going to be turned upside down, we must be careful. I had lunch yesterday with a man I¡¯ve worked with since high school. He works for Guggenheim Financial, an asset management company, huge, that handles $231 BILLION of assets across the globe. I told him about this book, he WILL listen to it, then he told me a story of his firm. They had a backlog of work that they had intended to hire between 1,000 to 1,500 people, knowing it would take a couple years to complete. Two of their engineers thought they might be able to write an AI program to handle this¡. Sure enough, they completed it and the work was complete within a couple weeks, without hiring a single person. We are facing the largest change to our society we have EVER faced, greater than the Agriculture Revolution, Industrial Revolution, Technology Revolution. It¡¯s here and this one fact is what has propelled Microsoft to top Apple in Market Capitalization. Hold on, this is going to be some ride and we have to be sure it doesn¡¯t get into the wrong hands¡. Many of our diseases can be eradicated by changing our DNA, if a female has the gene that could well cause her to have breast cancer, we will be able to alter the gene. I could go on and on and on, it¡¯s a book I have a hard time turning off. John On Feb 3, 2024, at 11:53 AM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer <hejb44@...> wrote: |

Re: Unauthorized credit card charges
That would surprise me. In similar situations of cancelled and re-issued cards I have had to re-add the new one to Wallet. But let us know if the updated one was automatically added ¡ª and was the cancelled one automatically deleted?

My Visa credit card was canceled and a new one reissued - I haven¡¯t received the new card in the mail however when I checked my card in my apple wallet the card has been updated and is useable - I think - I haven¡¯t tried it yet. I¡¯ll keep you posted. On Jan 30, 2024, at 11:56?AM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer via groups.io <hejb44@...> wrote: |

Re: Unauthorized credit card charges
I used to have problems all the time with a company credit card, so I gave up and used my credit card and had my work reimburse me.

As for my personal credit card, I once had a charge for about $3 from a bookstore in Australia show up, and another small charge from some other place overseas that I don't remember. These were likely to see if the card was valid before going in for big purchases. Oh, and there was once a charge for a day in a hotel followed one week later by a week in the same hotel (but this was in the pre iPhone-get-notified-of-charges days). When I pumped gas in grad school, I had to confiscate credit cards from time to time as being stolen. Always made me a bit nervous to say "I'm afraid I have to keep your credit card, because it is showing up as being a stolen card!". Amex was supposed to give us rewards for this, but they never came. Anyways, autopay is the invitation to missing repeating charges from bad sources, so I avoid it. Bill On Jan 30, 2024, at 11:56, Harry Jacobson-Beyer <hejb44@...> wrote: |

I didn¡¯t get an option to opt out. They just came and changed out the meters.

meter luddite
Hi all,
A ways back, LG&E offered 'advanced' [1] electric meters. I declined, thinking that this was just part of the stampede to 'smart' technology. This week I got a snailmail letter saying that we all have to join the stampede, or pay $17/month extra ($12 on electric, $5 on gas). I went to the meter website to see what it said, and LG&E claims up and down that the network will be secure. Am I a fool, or does putting all the meters on a big network just make it easier for bad actors to make a mess of the utilities and cost them more than driving around reading the meters? I certainly don't feel a need to pull out my phone to see what my hourly electricity usage happens to be. Bill thinking we're moving to a level of complexity that makes everything frail [1] Uses the network! Will break sooner! |
