I wonder if Centrelink know the true/full story ?

I see how you operate @Harrisfan , after one year using that moniker you have managed 17.6k posts and I see why. You start a new topic then argue with everyone who disagrees with your subsequent posts

Wrong, wrong, wrong

https://www.finder.com.au/energy/electricity/average-cost-of-electricity from above article "You can expect to pay around 33 cents per kWh on average, with South Australians facing the highest rates." https://ipa.org.au/read/south-australias-potential-being-squandered-by-failed-energy-policy from above article "South Australia, is the only state in mainland Australia with no baseload power generation, is particularly vulnerable to energy security challenges, including blackouts."

If you leave Australia how can you live in Port Keats(Wadeye)? You're confused @georgegeorgia , but most of your post indicate that 😂

Not as messed up as you @georgegeorgia 😀

What security measures do they have in place for secure payments? Compared tap and go with Apple wallet, QR codes are not as secure. An Apple Wallet payment is significantly more secure than a standard QR code payment due to advanced built-in security features like tokenization and mandatory biometric authentication. Apple Wallet Payment Security Apple Pay, which operates through the Apple Wallet using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, is designed with a high level of privacy and security. Tokenization: When you add a card to Apple Pay, your actual credit card number is not stored on the device or Apple's servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number (token) is created and stored in a dedicated secure chip called the Secure Element. For each transaction, a dynamic, one-time security code is generated, which is useless if intercepted by a hacker. Biometric Authentication: Every in-store transaction requires authentication via Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. This ensures that even if your phone is stolen, unauthorized payments cannot be made easily. Privacy: Neither Apple nor your device sends your actual card number to the merchant during payment, protecting your sensitive information. QR Code Payment Security The security of a QR code payment depends heavily on the specific app or platform processing the transaction. While many established QR payment solutions use encryption and can incorporate biometric or two-factor authentication, they have inherent vulnerabilities at the point of interaction. Vulnerabilities: A major risk is that scammers can physically swap a legitimate static QR code with a fraudulent one, redirecting payments to their own accounts or leading users to malicious websites ("quishing"). Lack of Inherent Security: QR codes themselves are just an image that links to information; they do not inherently include the same robust security measures as Apple's built-in hardware security. User Responsibility: The security often relies on the user verifying the source of the QR code and the payment details before finalizing the transaction, adding a layer of potential human error. Summary Comparison In conclusion, Apple Wallet payments are generally considered more secure because they leverage a dedicated secure element and mandatory biometrics, ensuring that sensitive data is never exposed during a transaction.

Apple wallet payment is much faster and more secure than a QR code payment. Thailand can't cop competition so the cumbersome and slow form of payment via a QR code is something I don't use. I'll stick with cash in the Kingdom
