Cashless society

Weird, I have an old Samsung 7 edge myself as my "new" phone, and it handles 4g?
It could be more of a location,/coverage issue than phone model?
now THAT is highly possible as well , a provider/network black-hole some can't get 4G solid and that was in the Brisbane Gold Coast corridor ( basically the main population density in Queensland ) probably all the 5G surveillance stuff hogging the bandwidth
 
I see digital as a national/personal security threat.


I personally spend roughly $200-$500 a day in cash with no problems.
Im tech savvy enough and have used literally everything, give me cash any day.

Like you said "personal preference".
Keeping cash though is important for a wide range of reasons.
 
There was an incident where a guy hacked his Tesla and started turning on features. Memory is a bit fuzzy but I think they threatened to turn his car off.

Is it in the terms and agreements?

Is this the issue you refer to -

That was a bit of a media beat up, if you guess someone’s app password or get into there Tesla app some how, all you can do is things like.

1. Turn on aircon
2. Open windows a crack.
3. Honk horn.
4. Unlock doors

Nothing major like turn the car off, even if some one steals your car there is nothing you can do through the app to stop them accept track them, and honk the horn.

people have been playing ( hacking , security testing ) car electronic systems for over 20 years )

they have used wireless , wireless jammers , blue-tooth even physical contact devices ( which contact to the attackers gear direct )

given Tesla has many high profile customers that will be a given ( a better reward if successful ) ( the average Ford Focus owner isn't rolling in moola )

now Tesla might go to extraordinary lengths to keep such successes secret ( think anomalies in the Diana limo death )

the core problem will be the encryption devices on the target problem , the attackers don't always break the obvious protection they may go around , behind or just overwhelm it
 
It was to turn on the paid features from memory.
Yeah something similar. There was one particular guy who was doing it that they made the threat to.
 
Yes, cashless is well and truly with us.
The sticking point and main blow back I feel is the coercion that we are being forced into cashless.
 
Update on that local Telstra outage. Well, it wasn't so local. Power outage in Sth Aust, battery backup power depleted then from Pt Augusta and environs to east of Broken Hill and surrounding areas, boom, no mobile coverage.

As per the post on the ABC fb page:
 
She who is never wrong was wondering how the bikies will get on if and when folding is outlawed.
depends on how they are run now , there is still theft ( in various form ) a straight swap of goods and services( 'you scratch my back )

if history repeats they will do very well as the new mafia the people you go to to solve problems with the government ( regulations )

which will be more useful in future world folding or an automatic weapon ( or rocket launcher )
 
Slowly, slowly, catch the monkey.

From your ABC today:

Australian shares are in positive territory after Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock said Australia has not fallen behind other countries in keeping inflation under control.

Ms Bullock has also warned about the economics of keeping cash circulating widely in the economy, and wonders if Australians would ever accept paying a small fee to use cash.
Michele Bullock, RBA governor:

 
Just Me and She musing. Is the organ grinder's monkey even on the planet. A lot of th small businesses that we use love th stuff. Straight into the back pocket and not for the ATO to ever know about.
 
A few friends and I are thinking of starting a new livery company with its inaugural chapter right here in Perth Western Australia, viz ¹The Worshipful Company of Luddites.

Guiding principles art to take us right back to the 70s and 80s... No mobile phones, no social media, no programmable digital currencies, proper V8s with carburettors, etc etc etc

....and decent feckin rock and roll (the period in question will obviously be truncated at the advent of disco).

¹Context: another livery company which I am associated with https://www.wcf.org.uk/
