No floppy disk. I guess they didn’t actually kill it with the iMac but they certainly facilitated its death.

The powers that be decided to quietly drop it because they’re not willing to come out and publicly support it.

The government could make time for this and they could tell the lords to do one. They just chose not to.

So you don’t think any of this is down to not enough staff and poor training?

I'm sure there are many systemic issues but the primary victims are the elders. For starters, they don't have a choice but to be there.

Oh okay, so this is why Amex launched the online card in the app that changes the Cvv2 every few minutes.

3-digits? What is this, an OTP for ants?

Amex uses 4 but sure it ain’t a lot. Enough to stop this attach though.

Amex was late to the party with virtual cards.

None of my banks or credit cards support them... not sure how widespread it really is.

I had no idea amex offers virtual cards... but I looked everywhere in the app and cannot find any such option?

>We have invited a small pilot group to the Digital Card feature now. The feature will become available to more Cardmembers soon.

Correct. But why doesn’t the AI just say that.
