@stux yes! I fear this will be the first time my children will call me an old man, "of course you can do it on the phone"

@stux Kayak is currently running a commercial on this very topic!

@stux my rule of thumb is, if it's going to require 2fa, I do it on my computer, because if I try to do it on my phone, by the time I swap out from the browser to the email/messager/other client or whatever to deal with the authentication, fucking android will have cannibalised the browser process for memory, and by the time I get back to the browser it will have reset the page DOM and lost all its fucking session state and I have to start again.

@stux
It me.

I figure it’s a result of how online shopping creeped over to mobile. There was a time where online shopping was relatively common but shopping via a mobile phone was not yet common.

[kaasbaas@mastodon.africa]

@stux it absolutely makes sense

[ox1de@cyberplace.social]

@stux I’m probably old, prefer my anything else other than my phone.

[leoschuldiner23@beige.party]

@stux totally agree.. 80s gen over here.

@stux I made me a simple rule. No monies on my phone, ever.

Phones are hackable and stealable.

[canleaf@mastodon.social]

@stux And sometimes I need a bigger image of something which no phone can convey, this is not about purchases, which require sit down and a computer, but also having the possibility to see if it fits into my itinerary... Having a spreadsheet of your travel can and should be only done with a computer.

@stux

I don't buy anything on my phone.

[missgayle@urbanists.social]

@VickForcella @stux

This!

[sheddi@mstdn.party]

@bencurthoys @stux
It's not just me that has that problem, then!

[phillycodehound@indieweb.social]

@stux This is funny!

[heliograph@mastodon.au]

@stux I never buy anything on my phone.

[bich@apobangpo.space]

@stux

I try to avoid making purchases on phone. Number 1, increase friction in spending money. And 2, I need at least one monitor, keyboard, and mouse so I can comparison shop across multiple tabs.

[grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange]

@stux This only applies to eva air where their website absolutely has to be running on 90s technology

[femme_mal@mstdn.social]

@bich @stux Smart. I try to reduce points of exposure where my banking and payment systems are involved.

I never do banking on my phone, and purchases by card over the phone are typically less than $150 per transaction. And always MFA security for banking.

@stux I don't buy anything on my phone.

[bencurthoys@mastodon.social]

@sheddi @stux the least - I mean literally the very least - these bastards could do is make sure the state is in the query string so it is preserved when everything is reset. But they never fucking do.

@beecycling @stux

Or miss some fine print because it didn't fit on screen.
