@JustinDerrick don't use online banking and never have honest answers on security questions!

#Funfact: This would not have been possible if their bank complied with #PSD2, which demands active, on-demand #2FA!

@nina_kali_nina #Funfact: Good messengers never stopped that (i.e. #XMPP+#OMEMO [@gajim & @monocles / #monoclesChat] & #IRC [ #QuasselIRC])…

• Not shure if @delta can do it, but @RocketChat and @zulip certainly do allow eben custom status messages!

@blog #FunFact: #AVM at least didn't correlate the default password with any serial #, tho the defaults are printed on the device.

• Alas to reset it people need physical access to the device or rather a telephone cinnected to it and the network it's on so one can conclude that by that point people already broke into a home and their CPE is the least of their concerns!

Some say pinking shears- which create a serrated/toothed edge on fabric, were named for the petals of Dianthus flowers, many types called 'Pinks'. I suspect this is backwards- people drawing the association from the observation that the petals look like 'pinked' fabric. It is suggested that 'pinking' stems from an old word for cutting decoration into fabric.. So the flowers were likely named for the fringe rather than the reverse- though many-not all- are pink! #FunFact #words

@csgraves @chartier
The etymology of America has an odd history. In 19th century "America" meant the United States + Guam + Samoa + Philippines + Puerto Rico + Virgin islands + Pacific outlying regions + Carribbean outlying regions + Hawaii + Alaska + all other smaller islands that the US annexed over the years. Before 1898 "America" was rarely used. After 1898 "America" became common usage to refer to the "empire" not the republic. That is, an empire the US has since denied being. #funfact

@beelzerog #Funfact: That is literally what a fmr. employer of mine (Payment Processor) did on behalf of their partner firms.

• I'm pretty shure not having the actual websites' but a "brown paper" / generic name appear on their credit card bills saved a shitton of marriages and people getting their accounts canceled.

All the big CC companies doing their 'morale police' shite know exactly that adult content and -products are the reason they didn't get obsoleted by PayPal and the only reason Monero didn't obsolete them yet is that they still have more acceptance and issuers!

• I mean, wirecard (I didn't work for them!) made their money with gambling, adult content and providing liquidity to field agents on both sides of the atlantic...

@blinry Wusstest du, dass Norwegen erst 1951 offiziell die Art geändert hat, wie Zahlen ausgesprochen werden?
Früher sagte man dort wie im Deutschen „zweiundvierzig“ (Einer vor Zehner). Doch seit 1951 heißt es „førtito“ – also „vierzig zwei“ (Zehner vor Einer), so wie wir es heute aus Skandinavien kennen.
Fun Fact: Bis in die 1990er-Jahre waren in Norwegen sogar beide Varianten im Alltag zu hören!
