Yeah, I would, I pay for everything with the phone now. Much more secure than a contactless card with even the most shonky operation because the merchant never sees any of your details and cant skim the card and cant do any transactions if you lose the card or it gets stolen.

Yes. I have one.

and just tap on the one you want In a unique way of doing things

This guy has cognitive dissonance. If its got 'programs' it must be better.

Back in the day in Jo burg we all had Blackomatics. Fully voice activated and could sense the type of wash needed and do the ironing and put the clothes in the drawers as well.

When a washing machine can do all that, automatically, I might consider more than the basic..

And here we see what is behind the cognitive dissonance. The man thinks that by having lots of knobs and dials and fiddleables and a touch screen, he is showing off how intelligent he is, whereas to the professional IT man, he is merely showing how stupid he was to have bought such a piece of blinged up consumer tat in the first place..

If Rattner had made consumer electronics, it would all have had a touch screen

Smart people used dumb technology. Stupid people buy smart technology.

People had similar in the UK as well, but they all found they could get better pay and conditions working in washing-machine factories.

Now of course we have no washing-machine factories and girls who leave school without knowing what a goffering iron is, let alone how to use one.

We'll see...

Nope, just more convenient so you don?t have to remember how each appliance does things. Ideal for stupids like you who can't even manage to get a digital microwave to heat whats in it at full power for 4 minutes.

And now you are so destitute that you have to do it yourself and can't even manage to answer an incoming call on a mobile phone.

You have always been completely irrelevant.

We'll see...

Nope, how much more convenient it is to do stuff like rice which needs more than just a power level and a time.

Who can't even manage to answer an incoming call on a mobile phone.

Clearly not you who can't even manage to answer an incoming call on a mobile phone.

Smart people buy tech which makes things more convenient like a smartphone which tells you which supermarket has all the stuff on your shopping list in stock and even lets you avoid standing in line at the checkout and get infected with the virus when their country is too stupid to handle the virus without an immense pile of corpses. And even gets really radical and tells you when it opens and closes too.

One of the good things to come from the pandemic is the widespread acceptance of cashless payments for even piddling amounts.

another is not having to kiss virtual strange women as a courtesy.

Yup! :-)

Oh dear...

No, it doesn't actually,.

Oh dear

Poor Fred. Thinks he is dead smart cos he can use almost 1% of the featrures on his mobile phone

Not if you are stuck behind a driver using cashless at Dunham Bridge.

That's their loss.

The M6 Toll northbound would not accept my credit card which admittedly is slightly warped. Every other purchase I have made with it has worked. Life would be easier if the toll booth would accept a contactless payment. I only used the toll road because the M6 itself was closed for some road works.

Ordered a Motorola G9 Play today from John Lewis.

I went for the standard G8, which turns out to be pretty neat for 120 notes.

The Play is a nice phone but I have the G8. Great phone although I couldnt put a compass app on it. Got my wife the G9 and she now hardly uses her laptop. Had mine for a couple of years now after Id lost my new Galaxy. Wouldnt go back to an expensive Samsung again (Im sim only)
