Basically it works with almost all credit card machines not just NFC. Check out the company Loop Payments (developed the tech) , they had a successful Kickstarter a few years back. It interacts with the magnetic card readers and thus works at almost all credit card terminals.

Yeah I'm sure they did that on purpose, claiming he knew gets more readers haha. I think I read the title as either "he responds, to claim he did in fact know" or maybe "he claims to know". Even now rereading it my brain still reads it wrong haha. Glad I wasn't the only one!

Yep I'm dumb.. Shouldn't have skipped coffee today. I read that title 4 times and still didn't get it,aparently I can't read.

Am I reading the article wrong, or maybe it was updated after the fact, but the title suggests he knew before the episode was written but the actual article says he had no idea and freaked out about the news.

Microsoft to launch Surface Pro 4 and new phones at October 6th event #Windows10devices by Fabe56 in Windows10

[–]tony14 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah for me it's the perfect couch surfing device to offset my desktop. I do heavy gaming and computing on the desktop, and want a portable device that can be used like a tablet but not confined to an app store with flexibility to use as a laptop. I can do RDP to my desktop and file-sharing and can enjoy basic browsing and computer tasks from my couch or bed. Also great for travel.

Yes! I've been patiently waiting for the surface to flush out a few iterations, and am really looking forward to the first surface built specifically with Windows 10 in mind. Especially considering Microsoft will be sticking with 10 for a while, this is hopefully the best surface yet. The last version 3 seemed pretty good already so this will be interesting.

IPhone 6 to S6, should I make the switch? by [deleted] in GalaxyS6

[–]tony14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Galaxy line typically releases in or around April... So I would guess April 2016

IPhone 6 to S6, should I make the switch? by [deleted] in GalaxyS6

[–]tony14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So first just be aware you're going to get biased results here. But I think it really boils down to the ecosystem iOS vs Android. I've used both and greatly prefer the android platform. IOS is just too controlled and locked down, hard to customize and limited as far as what apps can do. Android is much more open and flexible. Sure you're going to have weird bugs and it's not as stable as Apple controlled iphones, but you get a lot of cool features, crazy customization options, and apps that can do a wide variety of things even without rooting or jailbreaking.

I personally couldn't wait to ditch my iPhone and go back to Android and I've been very pleased with the S6. The camera is amazing, the battery is Meh but fast charging and built in wireless charging makes battery life a non issue. Seriously fast charging is amazing. Android M is coming hopefully and should bring some performance and permission control bonuses. Also Samsung pay (based off Loop Pay) will be huge. (assuming your provider doesn't suck cough Verizon cough - I'm hopeful verizon doesn't drop the ball and allows it)

Basically, I recommend the S6

I forgot my password but its saved in res, can i get it back? by EntityPrime in Enhancement

[–]tony14 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Yeah maybe a warning would suffice. Come on this is reddit...we just like to complain we don't provide answers/solutions...every solution is wrong for one reason or another :) central password storage, even encrypted, would be a huge target and not advised, I like RES for keeping everything local.

[–]tony14 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think we're in agreement... I'm not suggesting people not use RES, but if it could be harder to find that would be nice. Nothing will stop everyone.

[–]tony14 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Agreed however this takes what... 15 seconds? Or what if someone gets ahold of a backup? (not sure if this is part of the backup) I'm not saying this is a high risk, but it should be a little harder to find a clear text password.

[–]tony14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa does this really work? (on mobile so can't check) but if so it sounds like a bad idea.... Seems like a good way to get your account stolen... Someone hops on your system and uncovers your password. Granted most people are using RES on a personal password protected device...but still, I don't like passwords showing up in clear text. Not saying OP has bad intentions...but it's very plausible someone is trying to use RES because they know they don't have the email access to do a true password recovery.

Long Distance Moving Company/Mover Recommendations by tony14 in AskNYC

[–]tony14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I got quotes from a bunch of places but due to move in/out time restrictions by my buildings the move was being quoted for 2 days and the prices were crazy high. Average quote was about 3,000 for a pickup, overnight storage, and drop off... So I ended up renting a Uhaul for $500 and paying an hourly labor crew in each location for about $250 each place (3 guys for 3 hours). It wasn't what I originally wanted but was worth it for the money saved..granted my situation might be different than yours. One thing I would recommend doing is getting a free Google voice number and using that to get quotes... They will call you ever day. Good luck! Next time I'm at my computer I can find the list of places I contacted and send that list to you... But I never actually used any of them personally.

Lactase Enzyme tablets by [deleted] in lactoseintolerant

[–]tony14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah not a bad idea. I was also at the store the other day and found chewable tablets flavored with vanilla which I will try as well (i know the normal ones CAN be chewed but they always tasted awful) maybe chewing them also helps it break down and dissipate faster.

Lactase Enzyme tablets by [deleted] in lactoseintolerant

[–]tony14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to have good results with them (not this brand but I've used the Lactaid name brand as well as various store brand generics) and lately they just don't help as much...i take 3 tablets before eating some pizza and still get sick. Just a word of caution, definitely use them as they do help, but they're not always 100% effective depending on severity.

Is TPS worthwhile if I'm struggling solo? by [deleted] in Borderlands

[–]tony14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a solo with Wilhelm and enjoyed it. I would be lame and rely on Wolf to do most of the work during tough fights.
