I hear that taking pictures of cheques is now a defacto 1st
step to deposit them electronically.

I rarely get cheques anymore, but every now & then I do get one. First thing I do is load my banking app and take a picture if of the front & back and BOOM, it's deposited. Very convenient!

Interesting thought. considering most parents just hand their kids
their iPhone or iPad to keep their kids occupied.

Then the parents are as much to blame. Instead they should give them a deck
of playing cards to play old maid with!

Don't you get the GST or Trillium credit/refunds as cheques?

Some people down on their luck and can't cash those in at any
bank for lack of sufficient ID, come to me, and I give them the
cash.

But, I don't think the photo-deposit method works for counter-
signed cheques, does it?

Anyway.. my whole point is that it's no one's business what
photos you take or keep on your phone.

Apparently getting married all those years ago has disqualified me from receiving that, but back when I did get them I was using direct deposit.

Yup, I just heard a quote on the Security Now podcast this morning that I think fits:

I hadn't heard of it before, it looks like it's from 2018. It looks sci-fi-y and futuristic, so right up my alley. I'll add it to my queue for maybe this weekend.

"I'd put my own family, anyone, in a spotlight naked to protect this country"

"And who decides when it's necessary?"

"I do."



Powerful stuff. I certainly wouldn't want to be put in a spotlight wearing my birthday suit... *blush*

I don't think the banking apps save the photo to the photo roll, that's probably a Good Thing.

The problem is that the same people who proclaim these
necessities upon us, don't necessarily think the same
expectations would apply to them.

If you get a chance to see that film, particularly the few
minutes before that scene, the revelation just before that
proclamation would seem more troubling.

Many actors and musicians don't seem to have a problem with
being naked under a public spotlight. But most of them are in
pretty good shape and love to flaunt it.
