    “If you are an angry man of 30, and it is Friday evening, it may offer you a bottle of whiskey,” said Ekaterina Savchenko, the company’s head of > marketing.

    I feel personally attacked.

    I’ve started using a faraday pouch for everything, from my phone to my car key fob. if you use a device with a masked MAC address in a privacy protecting OS, and don’t auto connect to networks otherwise, perhaps it’s better.

        yeah I just switched my wallet and that is why I never used that feature. I literally just found out maybe 3 days ago I have a tap card when the cashier told me. I was horrified. I feel like the time you save tapping as opposed to swiping or inserting isn’t worth the security and privacy risks.

        these engineers keep making new stuff that’s kind of interesting at best but we don’t even need that we end up being inconvenienced by. tap cards save .07 seconds but you end up having to protect your card from thieves and extreme tracking by retailers, and it’s disgusting. it’s time to go back to cash.
