Sounds scarier than the virus....

Sounds scarier than the virus....

It's inevitable. Neural implants too. All the kids will get them asap.

 

[Wryter47]

And you gotta be careful which finger you use, too.

Wouldn't mind a neural implant to help me remember where I put the keys.

Mercadopago. No excuse not to use it - even if you don’t have an AR bank account you can load cash on to it at Rappipago etc and use it at most places. Just point your camera at the QR code, click the pop up and enter the amount you wish to pay. Listo - hands free and super quick.

Regarding Mercadopago: you do need Arg DNI or something? I already failed to download the app on my iphone because MP is somehow geoblocked...

 

[Greg S]

Yes. The app asks for DNI.

MercadoPago is accepted almost everywhere. Best invention since sliced bread.
