A little warning: if you use Apple Pay, this is secure and safer than carrying a bank card.
But it also allows very large amounts to be taken from your linked cards, vastly exceeding their usual limits.
Our bank tells us that Apple Pay transactions are not as scrutinised as other systems, because of the security. This has a downside.
My daughter was accidentally charged £4,400 for a burger and chips this week. The shop accepted their error today. Others might not.

“#Australians will either be able to generate a new card number for every purchase or press a few buttons and let their biometrics finish the job.”
This is EXACTLY how Apply Pay works.

Auch bei den Spendensammelseiten gibt es europäische Alternativen zu dem #US Platzhirsch #gofundme wie z.B. das deutsche #betterplace.org oder das in Amsterdam beheimatete #whydonate.com
Geben würde mir immer leichter fallen, wenn nicht Geld bei #paypal oder #applepay hängenbleiben würde.
I'm so mad how little non #Chromium browser options are available out there for general desktop/PC users. I tried Zen out once and it seemed okay, albeit a lil alpha/beta-ish atm (until when, I'm not sure) but it is still an option to look out for - not a fan of how it looks like #Chrome plastered onto #Firefox tho.
Realistically, I'd love some "big" (#FOSS) player(s) to fork and maintain a single brand new Firefox instance of some sort that becomes the new "de facto" Firefox browser, rather than #Mozilla's, but idk if that's gonna happen. Even #KDE's browser is Chromium based which is just... NOT an option for me.
I still find it ridiculous that #Apple gatekeeps #Safari to Macs lol, it's just a browser, what harm is there in opening it up to other systems even if there's some missing features locked to the Apple ecosystem here and there (i.e. #TouchID or #ApplePay integration, etc.). That'll at least add more numbers against #Google's insane dominance.

In #Hamburg ist das #Straßenmagazin Hinz&Kunzt jetzt bei den Verkäuferinnen und Verkäufern auch #bargeldlos erhältlich. Umgesetzt wird das über neue Ausweise für die Verkaufenden, die #QRCodes zum #Bezahlen enthalten. 
Die Zahlung erfolgt wahlweise über #Paypal, #ApplePay, #GooglePay oder #Kreditkarte. Im Folgebeitrag habe ich einen Kauf über #vivapayments (.com) in Bildern festgehalten.

How does stuff like those nfc chips some people implant on themselves work for credit card payments and stuff? Does it work like Apple Pay or something like that? Does the bank need to do anything to support it or do they just see it as a regular apple/google pay device?
Also, if the banks don’t need to do anything to support them then why don’t we have like open source reimplementations of google pay for postmarketOS or something?
@davidbcohen I typically have a card with me along with ID in the Apple #MagSafe wallet (which holds three cards, though it can be a pain to fit and remove three cards) but it isn’t my primary card. The cards I have in #ApplePay are by far the ones I typically use.
'We only have Apple Pay': Couple gets the bill at restaurant. Then they find out they can't pay
“Although 85% of businesses accept #ApplePay, a couple learned the hard way that not all places do in a video with over 336,000 views.”
it’s weird, I think, that #ApplePay doesn’t display the amount you’ve been charged when you make an #nfc payment using your phone (or indeed watch).
Frequently (almost always) I don’t get to see the amount entered on the device by the vendor. Some staff do make an effort to show you, but frequently (almost always) I have to take their word for it that the amount is correct.
It’s an inversion of control.
