I use #Linux as the main OS on my computers, but also use Windows 10 on one.
For the sole reason to download the #ebooks I buy.
I play the occasional Windows-only game as well, but those I can do without.
I can't do without ebooks.
I really, really wish there was an open standard for getting any ebook, with or without #drm, onto any device without having to rely on a single piece of software from one company.
#EU, do something!

Good morning, US banks and other financial institutions that STILL don't offer #FIDO: please drop the #cybersecurity awareness emails and improve real security.

It's only my life savings, and no, your mobile app doesn't help.

If they're afraid of customer loss it doesn't have to be mandatory for all accounts afaik, but I think in some countries FIDO for banking is mandatory. #joebiden

GOOD!

I tried twice to sign up, it's a #Catch22 if you#re #housebound.

You need to be able to pay via #PayPal to access UK Postal Collection - because the website is renowned for fraudulent trasactions; my #DebitCard got autoblocked.

BUT, without Postal Access you can't register the #DirectDebit.

THEN there's the #ID issue for alternatives.

UNLESS you HAVE postal access, you can't get any ID.

It is illegal AND BLOODY STUPID to send a selfie of you and Photo ID.

Just BS to quote ID references if buying age restricted products online.
