@771c7916 I know the feeling. Mobile is good in a pinch, but it will never ever be my first choice for anything. Why would you pick up your phone to check social media (for example) when you're literally sitting at your PC, in front of your big monitor, keyboard, and mouse? ;-)
The only thing is, I can't work with more than one monitor. I've tried a few times, but my problem is -- probably because of my tunnel vision -- I keep losing the mouse. First it's on this screen, then 30 seconds later when I look for it it's on THAT screen. And tapping CTRL doesn't help, because yes, it pulses that target thing over it, but since it's on the other monitor, I can't see that, either.
I use a laptop for work, but it sits closed on the corner of my desk all day, so it may as well be a desktop. In fact, I think for my next "Work PC", I'm going to just buy one really beastly desktop and run separate profiles for work and home use.
With the price of high-spec laptops these days (and as developers, we need high spec machines; 8GB of RAM doesn't cut it, and even 16GB is the bare minimum), if I spent the same kind of money on a desktop I'd get two or three times as much RAM, processing power, and GPU. :P
I received another email from
#StandardBank, advising me to stop using a password to log into Internet Banking, and switch to scanning a QR code from within the Mobile App. No, Standard Bank, I'm not going to do that. Because it's stupid, and here's why:
The whole reason for me to visit Internet Banking on my computer is because I do not WANT to log into the banking app on my phone. But in order for me to use Internet Banking on my computer, they want me to open the app on my phone, log in, then navigate to the menu item for QR code scanning, and then scan the code I see on my PC monitor. At which point, I may as well use the mobile app. Which I didn't want.
Why can't they just use one of the many many Authenticator apps, like a normal company? I'd be more than happy to open my authenticator app, find Standard Bank, and punch the code in. It's good enough for Google, Microsoft, Github....

It's pretty sad hearing non-Christians talk about Catholicism, Baptism, Methodism, Seventh Day Adventism, etc, as separate religions. It means that as Christians, we're failing dismally in our mission.
If we all believe in the same Holy Trinity, and the same Jesus, who died and rose again on the third day, loves everyone radically and unconditionally, and belief in whom is the only way to #Salvation, but we just have slightly different ways of expressing that belief, and slightly different styles of worship, then we're all Christians.
No denomination is better or more right or has more of the truth than any other. We need to stop fighting amongst ourselves, and start presenting a united front to the secular world.
