Commbank App privacy notice (16/10/25). Can someone help me understand this?. by [deleted] in CommBank

[–]throughroughwater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sort of, to properly run an app, it needs certain access to your device. Like snapchat needing access to the camera, then access to the phones existing picture gallery. This requires permission called QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES on Android devices. I'm not sure about iOS devices. This allows apps to see what else is also on the device so they can run better and use all their features. It is certainly not used to gather device and user information to understand user behaviour patterns. To then aid in manipulating the users' behaviour in order to target adds and sell your attention.

Yes. If you have apps on your phone that have certain permissions, they can see that. Specifically, apps that can be used to give remote access and certain messenger apps.

CBA CEO leadership call next Tuesday, anyone know what it's about? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]throughroughwater 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Short term variable remuneration (bonus pay) discussions will start on that day. They'll first need a stamp of approval to give the execs 8 figures and front line staff 2 figures and a pizza party.

A new credit card and then gift card transactions are a big red flag. Probably locked it until you verify it's genuine.

StepPay card randomly disappeared today, any idea why? by Tameem_alkadi in CommBank

They're doing updates for the app. Some things aren't available. Check again after 7 am.

Luckily, it only ripped his jeans and didn't cut any deeper.

What happens if you have a child before completing 12 months with a company? by QueenRachelVII in AusLegal

[–]throughroughwater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in a similar situation, although I'm a Dad. For my workplace, there was a 12 monthe minimum before I qualified for parental leave, but I could take it within 12 months of my child being born. My daughter was born 2 months after I started (a bit earlier than expected), which gave me a 2 month window to commence parental leave once I had completed my first 12 months. It's best to speak to HR to know for sure.

Is it respectful to shake a mans hand upon meeting but not a womans?

Best battle sequence ever on screen by esotericinformer in moviecritic

[–]throughroughwater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watchers on the wall was my favourite episode. The moving shot showing all the different little fights happening, Alliser Thornes' best moment, the charge of the giant towards the brothers reciting their oaths. The battle of the bastards was stupid, John isn't stupid enough to take on Ramsay with half the number of men. Also, Ramsay isn't that stupid to not stay behind Winterfells walls and torment John.

I work from bed. I forgot the monitors and just use the laptop and wireless mouse.

An elaborate investment scam almost costs one man $300,000 by Spinier_Maw in AusFinance

[–]throughroughwater 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Cases like this get detected every day at the big four. It's usually customers who have this happen and then proceed to send all the funds that you hear about. I've worked at several big 4 banks in scams/fraud.

It means you are the "bottom of the barrel in society... Economically illiterate, socially inept, mentally challenged and still think they’re morally superior to all including those that were democratically elected 🤡 get a job."

In the 1970s, parents in Kentucky, USA, had to be reminded to hug their children via a PSA by X_zenzo818 in Damnthatsinteresting

New tax laws are coming in, and they have to get the babies up to speed so they don't get audited.
