11:49:52 therube: don't tell google, but it seems they don't treat IE6 that way yet (the "enable js" stuff) 11:50:02 they deliver a different layout, though. 13:55:54 well, one of my banks changed its webapp AGAIN, just because 13:56:15 the good news: since they're stuck using Windows 7 on their branches, they're not relying on bleeding edge Chromeisms 13:56:36 the bad: the app is of course trash, designed by someone deeply in love with cellphones and that has never ever used a desktop computer 13:57:12 And of course the password policy for this bank is lulzy: it suggests you special characters for your password that get rejected nonetheless 13:57:34 And since there are THREE different applications, resetting your password in one will LOCK IT next time you try logging in 13:57:44 oh banks, how I hate thee~ 14:22:24 oh how did u know they're stuck on win7 14:22:30 thats interesting find 14:22:52 eh, I visit the branches unlike most mortals today 14:22:58 a few banks are still running good ole' XP 14:23:08 others are still at 7 14:23:23 many did moved to 10, and I've yet to find one using 11 14:23:41 the largest state bank here uses XP... plus IE6 and Acrobat Reader 5 14:24:13 And that's not counting the ATMs 14:35:19 so u can just peek over the counter or at their pcs? nice 14:38:03 i would still happily use xp if i could, xp the best os... books were written on how to tweak it and the info wouldnt get outdated 14:38:17 unlike now info gets outdated in months 14:42:33 One of my banks at some point ran Windows XP in VMs under Windows 8 to run (C)1995 RESTRICTED MATERIALS OF IBM CORP internal apps 14:42:49 spoilers: this specific bank upgraded to 10, to run the very same apps but this time without the VM 14:43:15 and of course nearly every single bank uses a fancypants terminal emulator to talk to that IBM Big Mama at the central branch 14:43:44 it's a weird hodgepodge of webapps, 16/32-bit Windows apps, and terminal stuff 14:44:19 and sometimes they need to query 3 different internal apps just for a single operation, say, update your permanent record (which you have to do once a year according to the laws here) 14:44:27 migrations are always fun... no 14:54:54 lol this is why i aint guna work in a bank IT dept 14:55:58 Actually one of my young college student fantasies was to work at a bank, doing the software for ATMs 14:56:34 but then I learned banks here don't really hire IT people until their current ones retire/die, so... 14:57:23 one of my professors at my college (where I got my IT degree) actually worked at the IT department of a bank 16:00:57 there now I can start refactoring my wrapper module for the safemysql lib 16:41:09 localhost database-specific SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE 18:31:06 yay 18:31:07 https://sm-ftp.thereisonlyxul.org/special/test/?case=alpha 18:32:25 now I can actually write the account system 18:32:41 and the panel
