I worked in a wine shop that had banks of conputers that people could ise to look up reviewer’s rating on wines or place orders on our website. I ended up having to get IT to lock them down to only 6-7 websites because people would use them to try to access their banking. I had to explain to way too many people with jobs in high finance the risks of them doing this on a public computer. Too many idiots would do banking on a flight only to get robbed.
I watched a woman log into her email at a Best Buy laptop kiosk then walk away. I went over and logged her out.
The user is a moron. Lock your shit.
I spent two years at that aforementioned wine shop emailing “I love you” to my co-worker buddy Rob should anyone have left open their email. Rob knew it was me but always made a point to thank the person who said they loved him.
When I bought my house it took the old owner ages to reroute all of her mail to whatever her new address was. At one point sje had a credit card sent to her and it came to my house along with the PIN number.
If I'd been so inclined I could have withdrawn all the money from her account.
Meanwhile when I moved in I spent the first 2 days basically doing nothing other than making sure all of my mail was coming to my new address.
People are just really bad at thinking
Right? I keep a list of every single company/service that I gave my email address, physical address, or phone number to. Every time I give it out I add it to the list. When it needs changing I go through the list and update it in all of them.
The article is about extended displays though. No traces left.
And The last time I flew the displays had viewing angles tht made it so only you could see the display, sp they were actually more private than laptops.
I've never seen angle protection on those screens and I've flown multiple carriers with them.
I've definitely seen them in American airlines at least in the business class. That was about 2014 ish so I'd be surprised if it hasn't become anything other than more commonplace.
I think they went the other way.
Are we talking about united in specific or carriers in general?
Because I am 99% certain that my last british airways flight had those protected angles
One of them was a BA flight.
No traces but you are still sharing your financials on a screen
