1% of people arrested by ICE have been accused of sexual assault while 24% of Trump’s Cabinet, including Trump himself, have been accused of sexual assault or have personally visited Epstein Island. And that’s just what’s been publicly released and reported, with millions of documents and emails still hidden.
With Apple Pay, your real card number never really leaves your device. When you add your card, the bank creates a special replacement number called a Device Account Number (DAN). That DAN is stored securely inside the phone’s Secure Enclave chip, not on Apple’s servers. When you pay, your phone sends this DAN plus a one-time cryptographic code to the merchant. The merchant never sees your real card, and Apple doesn’t process the transaction itself. It’s basically: phone → bank → done. Everything sensitive stays on the device.
With Google Pay, the idea is similar but the path is different. Instead of storing everything only on the device chip, Google often uses cloud tokenization. Your card info is linked to Google’s servers, which generate payment tokens during transactions. When you tap to pay, a token is fetched/created and sent to the merchant, then validated by the bank. So it’s more like: phone → Google server → bank. Still secure, but it relies more on the cloud.
So both systems hide your real card number. Apple leans more toward hardware-based security (on-device chip), while Google leans more toward server/cloud-based token management.
In simple terms:
Apple Pay locks your card inside your phone.
Google Pay locks your card behind Google’s servers.
Either way, the shop never gets your real card details; which is why mobile payments are often safer than swiping your physical card.
Stephen Miller wants you to think that the paramilitary force he keeps empowering to kill innocent white Americans, on camera, is the real victim. A world-historical coward who is incinerating Trump’s deformed political movement in real time
Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.
Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.
We can and must stop this.
The real, bipartisan stock trading bans bill is already READY. Do not buy this scam bill being put forward by the wealthiest members of Congress.
If Luna won’t move the discharge petition’s text, then we can start a clean one next week.
The majority of members and Americans support a clean stock trading ban. We have the votes on it.
Don’t fold now!
AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”
The ghouls on this app are reacting to this the way you'd expect, but they are not real people.
Real people--your neighbors, friends, anyone with a conscience--see this and feel angry and sad. Real people know it's wrong.
Like many others, been saying it for years.
Anyone who discourages your child from playing multiple sports does not have your child’s best interests in mind.
Period.
I saw that 😢
"If you give people slow CI pipelines, fragile deployments, and a production environment that feels like a haunted house, they will adapt by becoming risk-averse. They will fear change. They will learn to optimize for personal survival instead of team velocity."
So ridiculous.
AWS didn't "break the entire internet."
Companies that decided to build non-resilient systems depending on one single cloud region (aws-us-east-1) broke themselves.
Noticed how X, Google, Meta, Shopify etc were all fine?
"Breaking up" would solve nothing...
Hey @NBCSports I think we can make it a full 13 minutes without a commercial so we can actually watch the entire mens 5K championship. Absolutely criminal to cut to a commercial during that race
@GergelyOrosz I would have a hard time telling the difference between malware and the ad infected garbage that Microsoft sprayed all over the OS. Must have an online account to use your computer, ads on the start menu, copilot records everything you do. Just complete unusable nonsense
This is not something any of us can delegate or avoid without friends or family assuming we are insulting them
Years before I tried to explain that just because I can write code doesn’t make me a Windows 10 or 11 expert… a lost cause so like everyone I figured it out lol
@CTOAdvisor Distributed system and CI/CD architects are about to be in high demand.
Tough time to be any company that has gutted their investments in those areas the last 3 years
