Asked a co-worker a question and she touched my screen 4 times. I'm not counting or anything, but 4 times. 4. It doesn't bother me at all though, it's just that it was 4 times. Anyway, I'm just gonna forget about the 4 times she touched my screen. No big deal. It's not like it was 5 times. It was 4

The colder it gets, the worse the #COVID19 impact. STUDY:
"Results showed that every short-term drop in daily temperature of more than 3°C led to an increase in the number of hospitalizations due to a worsening of disease progression in infected individuals with a 1–3 day lag."

🆕 blog! “Bank scammers using genuine push notifications to trick their victims”
You receive a call on your phone. The polite call centre worker on the line asks for you by name, and gives the name of your bank. They say they're calling from your bank's fraud department. "Yeah, right!" You think. Obvious scam, isn't it?…
And then a ummm "successful" Australian bank texts an elderly customer saying they'd like to speak with them.
The SMS included a phone number and a password.
[invective directed against that bank's dipshit customer communication manager]
Yes it was genuinely from the fking bank.
