Somewhere on your phone is the last picture you remember taking before being struck with the inkling that the world as you knew it was about to change.
It should capture a memory of an innocent time and remind you of just how fragile our sense of normalcy can be.
Post yours.

One of the two giant Flak towers in Austria - WW2 era gun fortresses so robust that their destruction post-war was deemed unfeasible, capable of firing 8000 rounds a minute. @ Vienna, Austria instagram.com/p/BpJyiGdnua5/… – at Vienna, Austria
I look forward to the outcome of this complaint. Pricing practices in energy, broadband, telephony etc take advantage of vulnerable customers (especially the elderly) by cranking up the rate whilst offering new customers ever cheaper deals. theguardian.com/money/2018/s…

Fortunately no, that’s not genuine guidance. It’s a satirical slide from an internal presentation that’s been taken out of context. Everyone knows the only real way to spot a hacker is to look for the guy with the hoodie and question mark face.
Monzo’s implementation of 3D-Secure is excellent - no passwords, passcodes, text messages - just leveraging an app in real time. Reminds me of Google 2FA through Gmail - smooth, hassle free user experience. If only others would follow suit.
Impressed by how @Monzo have handled the TypeForm breach. Prompt, succinct and clear communication within a matter of hours. This inspires trust, which is something banking sorely lacks right now.
The experience of flying domestic economy in the US makes the much maligned low cost carriers in the EU look luxurious and cheap. $69 for an exit row seat (with no priority boarding) on a two hour flight, anyone?
