    The OMNY system in NY doesn’t require you to install an app on your phone. It’s tap to pay with any credit or debit card, even apple or Google pay. If you want you can still get a physical OMNY card and refill it, but it’s not required.

    Sounds like a skill issue on the author’s part tbh.

    Also fuck physical checks, online payments are 100x better. Writing all of your baking information on a slip of paper and handing it to someone is probably the least secure way to transfer money.

      That your experiences differ from those of the writer’s does not invalidate the writer’s viewpoint: They talk how tech has made their personal life more arduous by upending their established modes of doing things. That does not mean these new ways of doing things aren’t working for you.

      Your differing viewpoints aren’t mutually exclusive and aren’t necessarily indicative that the writer is somehow inferior in skill to you.
