I can't think what the problem can be unless you are using the account in some way that makes them nervous. There's an arms race going on between the banks and fraudsters and anything unusual can trigger alarms. My bank always knows where I am, when I'm going and when I come back. With 2FA I...

Hi, Sam. How's it going? You probably need to be more specific about what you actually want in order to get usable info but here's my two-pennoth: Our kids treated me to a birthday tea at Hotel Alvear. Impeccable in every way and of course there was birthday cake! I wouldn't dream of asking...

Disclaimer: 1- it's a while since I was a fairly regular visitor to Paraguay and 2- I usually went via Encarnación because my business wasn't in the capital.. NSA was solid and dependable but nothing very luxurious while my goto company for traveling around Argentina has always been Andesmar...

It would be interesting to understand the mechanism the bus companies use for calculating distance and whether or not the driver just sticks their finger in the air to work out which way the wind is blowing and takes a guess. I must have way too much time on my hands. Fascinated by your...

Real-world application of Quantum Theory here: the observation has an influence on the outcome of the experiment. Even if it wasn't a set up, a sting, you were there watching for - how long? Two hours? I agree with Frank: two hours watching some anonymous someone else's unattended baggage could...

Interesting. I wonder what the long game is? Or even if there is a long game? To get the more risk-averse bus passengers onto Aerolineas? To boost the incomes of coffin-chasing lawyers? Because to be sure, after the next big bus fatality, they will be coming out in droves. The other article...

This. And a person whose Netflix account is paid for in the US and lives in Argentina gets the Argentine selection - except when she's in the UK when she gets the UK selection. Incidentally, in my experience most of the streaming services know most of the free/cheap VPN addresses already and...

(I thought that I had mentioned the following before but my site search didn't find it so....) For anybody interested in the barrios of Buenos Aires I can recommend Buenos Aires Tiene Historia various authors, ISBN 9789870409526. It has maps, history and old photos. I bought my copy from Casassa...

I normally use scheduled transport to and from airports or book my own remis but the only time recently that I've used a cab from an airport the driver was scrupulously honest with me and got a decent tip at the end of the journey for being so. When he discovered that I didn't have the taxi app...

I use Skype for most of my telephone calls. Skype displays my UK mobile number whenever I use it to make a phone call regardless of where in the world I am calling from

Context? (eg: Coming for work? study? romance? Fleeing the law? conscription into the armed forces? a vengeful spouse?)

I think the usual way is to ask the building caretaker who they use

You are partially right about the second part (see @FrankPintor's helpful links above) and in other countries you probably would have been right but I'm afraid here Google has let you down again. I say "again" because I bet it's not the first time for you and it definitely isn't the first time...

Do you think they don't have all the dots or that they have them and currently only use them in a targeted and selective way? I think it's the latter and masses of data is shared with all manner of entities even if most of the time it's not used. Next time you experience a data based screwup in...

Very interesting questions! There are motorcyclists in this and forum, so hopefully someone will be able to advise you about obtaining a licence in the country. You may want to check whether doing this will meet your needs back in the EU. Using the Wikipedia article on the European Driving...

Go easy on the guy, Red. Remember, he's been dead now for nearly thirty years.

Forgive me but this conversation seems to be taking a very 1+1=2 approach to information. What about all the metadata that everyone sheds everywhere they go and everything they do? What about everything Meta, Microsoft, Google and a whole host of other entities collect from you every day -...

What I don't understand is, what are the provinces and the national government doing insuring things through private insurance companies anyway? In the UK the government is quite open about "self insurance" where asset values are used as guarantees, claims are paid out of contingency funds and...
