[13:51] i've ordered way too much stuff recently [13:51] i'm rearranging my whole storage system it seems. [13:51] bank is sending me a new card soon though [13:51] hopefully by friday [13:52] hah i nearly left my card at the supermarket yesterday [13:52] amazon actually remembers my card. [13:52] did your card get compromised? [13:52] fraudulent activity, yeah [13:52] damn. [13:52] can't do any transactions with it anymore [13:52] that happened to me before :( [13:52] i had two credit cards at the time, so i was sort of ok, but it was an annoyance. [13:53] weird thing is it was the one i don't use online much [13:53] yeah only one card here [13:53] i only have one now too [13:53] perhaps i should get a backup [13:54] my bank had this thing where they give you a free american express that gives you more rewards. [13:54] but they've stopped that now. [13:54] but it did mean i used american express where i could, and most online stuff lets you use it. :) [13:54] amex isn't really a thing here [13:54] mostly MC and Visa [13:54] but it was a mastercard or something that got compromised. [13:54] same here. [13:55] well kind of. [13:55] That's what she said!! [13:55] quite a few places take american express, supermarkets and petrol stations. [13:55] i keep realising that i'm saying different words than people might understand :) [13:55] supermarket is grocery store, and petrol station is gas station? kind of obvious i suppose. [13:55] but most normal retailers either don't take it, or want to charge extra. [14:00] I'm surprised that something called a petrol station would take something called American Express. I would have thought the "American" would cancel out the "petrol". [14:00] heh [14:00] lol [14:06] amazon keep sending me stuff via dhl [14:07] i complained that they took a while to ship my video card, and they sent it via dhl which costs more normally, and now my next two items have also been sent by dhl [14:07] dhl are usually hell expensive :) [14:11] UPS for 2-day, Dynamex for same-day in my city [14:11] dhl is 2 to 4 days, iparcel is 2 to 3 weeks. [14:12] although it can be a week. usps is about as slow as iparcel. [14:17] mercutio: The majority of CC theft is physical (skimming), so it's no surprise that your compromised card was the "the one i don't use online much" [14:17] oh [14:17] i kind of assumed it was online stuff that does it [14:17] it was used somewhere far far away [14:17] and got flagged pretty quick [14:17] online is where skimmed cards get used :P [14:17] it was like the other side of the world [14:17] netherlands or something [14:20] It's a matter of ease and the return - rigging a store's reader, breaking into stores' transactions (made headlines the past couple of years), a waiter skimming on the side... All easier, and yield more cards than breaking into PCI-compliant companies/websites [14:20] Not to mention the chance of detection - a company may notice a breach and immediately notify the CC companies, versus skimming a card here and there... [14:31] *** novae has joined #arpnetworks [14:31] *** novae has quit IRC (Changing host) [14:31] *** novae has joined #arpnetworks [14:49] gas pumps and ATMs are more and more common targets of skimming stuff [14:50] ATMs don't usually see credit cards [14:51] no, but they see debit cards [14:51] and amazon processes debit as pinless debit [14:51] so you don't need anything but card and expiry [14:51] and people can get cash advances from atms also [14:51] (lots of people do this, despite it being horrible) [14:52] heh, the earlier conversation was about a CC being skimmed, so I stuck with terminals that see CC :p [14:52] * m0unds shrugs [14:52] happens with either [14:52] That's what she said!! [14:52] * brycec hugs [14:52] gas pumps can be either [14:52] >.> [14:52] <.< [14:52] ...'tis the season? [14:53] for rhymes [14:53] i pay inside, i think i'd notice :) [14:53] Probably, not that those terminals are immune either [14:53] i actually suspect airport parking [14:53] *** ant has joined #arpnetworks [14:53] they're pretty thin. [14:53] my wife had 4-5 cards get compromised within a year w/her old credit union [14:54] ouch. [14:54] ouch [14:54] haha [14:54] they handle issuing new cards at the CU itself [14:54] BAD ACTORS ABOUND [14:54] oh bryce, would you be keen to test my console latency program? [14:55] it's awesome - visa would call about fraudulent activity, then they'd call her and she'd say she didn't recognize it so they'd call the CU and kill the card to issue a new one [14:55] sometimes they'd call about something suspicious that wasn't at all suspicious (like..grocery shopping at the place we always shop at) and the CU would put a hold on her card and it'd take 2-3 days for it to release [14:55] i got a sms message with my card, and would have preferred a call i think. [14:55] sms that your card has been compromised looks dodgy :) [14:56] haha, chase does that [15:07] That's one of many reasons I refuse to setup mobile access to my Wells Fargo accounts (they're really pimping it out) [15:09] yea, they're obnoxious about asking at each login [15:09] i've been using capital one 360 for a while (used to be ING Direct) [15:11] Yep, that and billpay. To their credit, the humans aren't [too] pushy about it (well, they were about billpay), but when you add up every time it's pushed at you on ATM screens and online login... it's overboard. [15:12] yeah [15:12] But WF do have the best ATM experience I've ever had. Not only does the ATM remember my language choice, but they also have quick-access for my most frequent actions right there on the pin entry screen [15:12] yeah, their deposit at atm stuff worked pretty good too [15:13] good/well [15:13] s/good/well [15:13] well/well [15:13] s/well/well/well/well [15:13] Phenomenally well. It's always been right, even with handwritten cheques. [15:15] It's the simple improvements though, specifically the language selection. Every other bank/CU's ATM has asked me for language. It's stupid, it can safely be attached to my account (it's not like I'm suddenly going to change languages... and if I do, there's a button for that still) [15:17] right [17:09] i got a couple of the 256gb 850 pro's at $149 too [17:09] makes sense :) [17:09] did anyone get an evo when they had the far cry promo and want to give me their promo code? :) [17:10] it seems the promo finished sunday night US time [17:12] i had two promo's for Assassin's Creed Unity but forgot about 'em and they went out with the trash in the boxes :( [17:12] it was for PC, which i don't have, so i didn't really care, but i coulda given 'em to someone [17:12] i got really bored of earlier far cry games pretty quickly. [17:13] brycec: love WFB ATMs [17:13] so i don't really want to pay for it.. [17:13] That's what she said!! [17:13] well not more than like $10. [17:14] it looks like that game is on other platforms too. [17:15] http://www.vg247.com/2014/12/01/these-photos-compare-the-paris-of-assassins-creed-unity-to-the-paris-of-today/ [17:16] farcry 3 was great [17:17] for how long? [17:17] That's what she said!! [17:17] i finished it [17:17] i've played games like dota and starcraft for months [17:17] and i hate both of those games, so i guess maybe our tastes are different [17:17] i get bored of all these other games after a few days [17:17] hahaha [17:17] i like stuff with story and favor single player over MP most of the time [17:17] borderlands 2 is the game i've played the most of that kind of game [17:18] i finished original farcry, couldn't get more than 90 mins into farcry 2 and finished farcry 3 - probably 20-25hrs total [17:18] heh i've been playing saints row 4, and the story keeps annoying me. [17:18] but yeah i must admit i'm not really into the storylines. [17:18] i like that SR3 and 4 didn't take themselves seriously [17:19] can't finish a gta game, but i finished those and all the dlc stuff too, haha [17:19] i am amazed at how nice sr4 looks. [17:19] yeah, they did a good job with it [17:19] i like the matrix-y effect on vehicles and stuff [17:19] i wanted to get games to test my new video card. [17:19] but all my ideas of "how things look" are so many years out. and things definitely look better than they used to. [17:21] Heh... So I finally got a copy of Crysis (2? whatever, it was awhile back), maxed the graphics settings, and it played completely smoothly. I was so happy that my mid-range graphics card handled it like a pro. Then I thought about how long it had been since Crysis (2?) was /the/ game to stress a graphics card. [17:22] crysis 3 is now [17:22] i think i can get that for free [17:22] * brycec asks Steam what he has [17:22] my video card is meant to come with 3 games? i have to choose them though. [17:22] crysis 2 had a high res / dx11 roll-up pack [17:22] i need to start it over again, my save got corrupted on the last mission [17:22] i got sr4 in humble bundle. i'm cheap :) [17:22] yeah, it's worth it too [17:22] "Crysis 2 Maximum Edition" [17:22] lots to do in that game [17:22] SR4 was a gift :p [17:23] i bought it at release, haha [17:23] Apparently Deep Silver have had major issues with the website, logins, etc [17:23] yeah [17:23] Which meant that I was unable to load my SR3 PC character on Xb360 :( [17:23] oh, bummer [17:24] that's right, totally forgot about that - i had to rebuild my sr3 char [17:24] i bought "the long dark" last week, it has really cool art direction [17:24] Nice [17:25] I fucking love Steam's reviews, and the overview Steam incldues [17:25] *includes [17:25] http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/537381735127029830/99B116AA3D2C9CF73A5FA9FA8F3EADD2E9777DE6/ [17:25] things like "User reviews:Overwhelmingly Positive (2,201 reviews)" [17:25] http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/537381735127029830/99B116AA3D2C9CF73A5FA9FA8F3EADD2E9777DE6/ [17:25] http://store.steampowered.com/app/305620/ for more, etc [17:25] http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/537381735127029830/99B116AA3D2C9CF73A5FA9FA8F3EADD2E9777DE6/ [17:25] yeah [17:26] i loved that they integrated metacritic too [17:26] Overall, they implemented reviews very well. It's not some hats feature [17:27] yeah [17:27] It's a very pretty game, and I want to want it... but it doesn't interest me beyond its appearance. #FWP [17:32] hahaha [17:33] i like survival games, especially zombie-free ones [17:33] the forest is pretty good, inspired by cannibal movies from the 70s [17:34] the long dark's sandbox is slower and has good sound and visuals. can't wait for them to implement the story as development progresses [17:34] I am somewhat more tempted by it after reading some reviews. Offers a solid challenge, but easily pickedup/dropped as time permits, doesn't require /too/ much focus, etc [17:35] I like that there isn't (currently) a story, or multiplayer, or anything of the sort. It's just you, surviving. [17:36] yeah [17:36] i like that stuff that should be scarce is scarce and requires you to be careful with things [17:37] and that you need tools to open cans of food, or risk food poisoning smashing them open [17:37] And no punching trees. [17:37] right [17:37] (unless you want to smash up your fist) [17:37] i had really good luck my first playthrough, found a hatchet and a knife and some basic tools and stuff [17:37] then got mauled to death by a wolf [17:38] voice acting for the two playable chars is done by the two people who did male and female shepard voices for mass effect [17:52] i love it when games have more atmospheric sound than movies [17:52] it's like woah.. [17:52] i think it's because movies often try and smooth everything out [18:10] any of you guys using / coding in Meteor? i'm playing around with it now... my mind is being blown
