I can't buy anything at stores because my phone broke and every bank requires you to confirm on your app before extracting money.I tried going to the webpage on my computer but it's not allowed if you don't confirm with your phone, one of my banks doesn't even let you log in without the phone, there simply isn't a way to do anything on computer.I tried running them on waydroid but my OS and graphic card don't work. I tried android studio but it lags like crazy if you run something with the playstore installed.When is convergence arriving exactly guys? I need it bad. This isn't the future I was promised when Linux on phones appeared to be the future
>>107892373>be me>be with small local credit union>never set up online acct.>never gave them my phone # much less used their apps.>walk in with my ID and withdraw cash.Yes I am a boomer.
>>107892436you can't withdraw money on a saturday or on the afternoons, and my phone broke on friday afternoon, just before I was planning to go to the store
>>107892458well, you have to be prepared.1. backup stuff, including food2. backup cashlike i keep $200 in my wallet. just for emergencies like yours, i don't spend itu can also keep spending cashif you need quick cash you can take your pc to a pawn shopOR if u havr kids someone will help feed themp, call local charitiesif it's you and ur not underweight, just fast.
>>107892579forgot to mention that i have a phone alarm (yes i know) to remind me to handle $$ before Friday closing of the bank, mine closes the window at 4-6, im not saying but look urs upcheck for saturday window hours! some have it, maybe switch if another bank has it
>>107892373i had banks like this, only solution was to ditch them and open accounts elsewhereany bank that requires you to use an app for any feature is a problem waiting to happen
>>107892769and also, you can open several accounts at once at different places. then you can ditch the ones that have surprise app requirements. its nice to have a couple extra banks that it doesnt appear you need, because they can close on you without warning or clear reason to you, or they can start declining a LOT of transactions until you give up and close it yourself. then again I'm a targetted individual as they say.
>bank requires you to confirm on your app before extracting moneyThe fuck kind of banks do you people have out there? Mine is:>insert card>enter pin>withdraw moneyAnd literally the same bank introduced biometric payments in most major retail stores years ago, no confirmation whatsoever required to buy shit after initial biometric setup.
>>107892982pull pieces of paper from pockethand them to the fat transgenderhe lets you leave the store with the stuff. he also gives you gay challenge coins
>>107892982the pattern i've noticed is that banks you can sign up for without going in person to their location will generally try to pull stuff like this. but theyre not required to, as not all of them in that category do it.
>>107892579I don't own a wallet. it's 2026>>107892769every bank is like this nowadays>>107892982>insert cardI don't own a credit card. it's 2026. also I don't have a wallet to carry it. also, I keep losing shit, that's why I need digital stuff. back when I owned a credit card, it got lost many times and somebody found it and tired to use it twice.my point isn't phone vs wallet or credit card. my point is phone vs computer. why are computers treated so badly?
>>107893319>I don't own a wallet. it's 2026Everyone point and laugh. This guy isn't even a man.Imagine not knowing how to use an ATM. By the way my pin number is 1488.
>>107893355Different anon here.I live dept free and only trade in cash so no banks involved. I'm able to do this because I live in the county and everyone running shi here is at least 75yo.Sure there are hard restrictions and minor inconveniences to living like this, but it's a healthier and safer existence.
>>107892958>then again I'm a targetted individual as they say
>>107893319>I can do everything with my phone, why would I own anything else?>help, my phone broke and I can't do anything ever againI want this to be trolling so much, but I've met retards like you
>>107893319it's 2026, and you can't pay for groceries because a vibe-coding pajeet put out a faulty update; my wallet's got enough cash to buy a week's groceries and half a tank of gasthe past is the future anon, embrace it
>>107892373Just use cash, loser. Go to an ATM and withdraw it, or drive you fat lazy ass to your bank and talk to a teller face to face to withdraw some of your money.
My Ubuntu phone doesn't work with my $400 Juicero what do I do
