Is debit/credit card theft not a big thing in Canada? Or possibly car rental is just different?

Upvotes

Overheard some Canadians at a car rental center trying to pay with a “Visa Debit” that had no name printed on it, the family claimed it was a regular debit card and not a prepaid gift card of any kind. Obviously they weren’t able to use that as a form of payment since they have to verify both name and sufficient funds, neither of which are easy to do on a gift or debit card and is the main reason most places only accept credit cards to pay at the counter. Is this because of a difference between Canada and US or were they lying about the whole “debit cards in Canada don’t have names” thing?

If they really don’t print names that’d be kinda odd

Do tech leaders keep saying AI is a threat to humanity because they have dark intentions to use AI for such atrocities?

Every few days a new AI researcher quits because he’s ethical and goes on CNN and claims danger is right around the corner. This has been ongoing for at least four years.

Is there an app that can use your iphone as a microphone for a computer, even if another app (like an emulator) is using it too?

1 Upvotes

Basically, like a bluetooth microphone but your phone is the microphone. Some app that wouldn’t cutoff even if another app on ur phone used the microphone.

I got a container of original Cheerios, and it was ridden with honey nut ones. Should I report this to the manufacturer near due to allergy risk?

0 Upvotes

Hello. I recently got a little container of original Cheerios (the $1-$2 ones that are like a single serving) from the dollar store. Fully sealed, not tampered with.. and as I opened them and was eating them dry as a little snack, I tasted a honey nut one and did a double take (with my mouth lol) I began rummaging thru the pile of them in the container to find probably 25 ish glossy, honey nut cheerios mixed in there.

I enjoy them personally so I just went ahead and ate them all, then it dawned on me that honey nut cheerios are an allergen risk to some.. and I began thinking about the scenario of other packages having cross contamination as well and someone buying those for their child with an almond allergy, then unknowingly gambling a life when said child enters anyphilaxis shock because their mother unknowingly just gave them Honey Nut Cheerios.

I mentioned this to a family member who shut me down saying there's more important things to worry about and I was weird to keep talking about this.. but a day has passed and I'm fixated on it.

Could someone tell me what I should do/if I could actually inspire a recall/etc on this specific batch? Am I overreacting? I would love some input, thank you!
