  • For people with iPhone you can do this too.

    Go to settings and pull down with your finger to get the search box to appear, then search for “Guided” and click “Guided access”.

    Enable this setting as well as toggling “Accessibility shortcut”. Now you can open an app and triple click the lock button and select guided access.

    Then on this screen you can press start in the top right or options in the bottom left to refine the controls, for instance:

    • Side button
    • Volume controls
    • Motion
    • Software keyboards
    • Touch
    • Time limits

    Now the phone is locked in that app and to come out of it requires the passcode.






  • I don’t keep hobbies long enough to be honest. I’ll have recurring ones, but my hobby is hobbies itself.

    ADHD means I’ll think nothing of spending money on something novel and then dropping it as fast as I picked it up.

    Coding, Minecraft, Rubik’s cube have been long standing and indoor bouldering is the latest one but the benefits are so amazing it’ll stand the test of time. Mental benefits of rock climbing are off the charts, I’ve never found anything that allows me to truly live in the moment and forget everything for a couple of hours.














  • I just replied this to the parent comment.

    Furthermore even if a card is skimmed these days, at least in the UK, it’s still unlikely transactions would be processed online.

    That’s because it’s become so commonplace now for transactions to pop-up in the banks app on the owners phone and they must confirm the transaction and / or receive a code via SMS. Some just use SMS as a means to confirm a transaction.

    I guess one vector for attack still remains and that is SIM swapping, but even that is more difficult these days due to widespread awareness from carriers.
