Yeah, I also forgot to add that in a Russian bank, you can give the clerk your iPhone, they’ll plug it in their computer and install the banking app as a dev version or something. It’s fascinating.

Push notifications and having an icon on the home screen is important, I guess. Most Russian banks did improve their mobile websites but generally, people still prefer apps.

Well, it works as usual. The way it works is they probably add a spoof UI that only shows when they detect a reviewer’s IP, and when published, the app shows the regular banking app.

Haha. This happens so often, people have no idea. Every Russian bank does this, they publish seemingly unrelated apps under unrelated App Store dev accounts, share the links on their socials as fast as possible before the apps get taken down, then they just repeat the process when they need to update their apps. I guess generally they don’t pop up on global/US rankings but still, people use them and they get taken down all the time.

I’ve seen this on an electric Dodge Challenger (which is also quite ugly in my opinion). This hole and the wing above it act as a spoiler and fast cars need all the downforce they can get, so I guess this will become a norm for fast electric cars in the future.

Haha. Right now I’m untangling the mess of a small team that decided to use AI as their project manager (well, not exactly, but close enough). One thing I can say for sure is it did not work. Just like with development, you still need a human who knows what’s what to manage AI and keep it in check.
