Based on the videos I’ve seen, I don’t think it’s just batteries. Li-ion batteries don’t really explode, they burst into a lot of flames and stay burning for a while.

That’s basically how I eat spaghetti, except I use my teeth once the fork is in my mouth.

Yeah, all this behaviour leads to is more annoyances for the people who do know what they’re doing. People should really learn how the devices they use every day work, which includes stuff like the command prompt. Not necessarily how to use it, but at least what it is and what it can do.

You can turn those info cards, ads, and some other stuff off in the settings fyi

Afaik that only applies if the app is processing payments, which in this case it shouldnt be.

I think we’re looking up at a drinks dispenser, one where you push your cup against the metal thing to start filling.

True, but that just means no more contactless. They don’t entirely block you out of the app afaik, like many other foreign banks I’ve seen do.

McDonald’s was just an example, the point is most apps don’t need to do that at all.

I do happen to know how payment systems like that work, and thankfully those are all cloud-based, the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they’re paid. If they implemented it well, as I suspect a big corpo like McDonald’s probably would, their own order screen also checks server-side if orders are paid. Not much you can do from the app side to mess with that.

Oh I don’t know if mcdonald’s specifically does this, I’ve never used the app, I just used it as an example because that’s what the guy above was talking about as well.

Haven’t played monster hunter, but the last of us looks great on pc.
