It's value is in remittance if nothing else. It's cheaper than western union. But the network is only "cheaper" in that way because it has distributed the costs of running the network to the speculating miners who solve pointless puzzles with monsterously greedy processing farms hoping to win the lottery and get back more than they put in. It's a ponzi scheme, it takes more from everyone who came later and gives the value to early adopters who were there when you could solo mine coins with whatever hardware and a bitcoin was worth 7 dollars in exchange. Look up how many coins Satoshi is supposedly holding. If they were to cash out even a small fraction the whole market would crash. So use it as a remittance service but not an asset if you must. This from someone who mined 27k worth of it back when it was 7$ and spent it all on illicit medical cannabis before it inflated to 50k
My aunt and uncle retired to a ranch in south Carolina as a tax dodge after a life of being realtors and IT specialists. Meth heads stole all their farm equipment and the daughter they moved next to is getting a divorce. If you have a yard, just start a garden or greenhouse and a tool shed and you won't have to worry about whatever unknown hell is waiting for you in Wyoming
Right? I don't feel there has been anything I could do with a Mac that I can't do elsewhere for way less of a premium for a long time now. Maybe early on they were better at art creative stuff but now? Naw
Aha yeah I love linux, use it a lot, like my headless raspian lite omv jellyfin server, but my lenovo x1 tablet is windows 11 because i am terrified of configuring it in any distro. It's OK it's. Not great but it does what I want it to do. Mac is just too bourgeoisie for me.
I was banned today from !Europe on feddit, a community I've never posted in, because apparently reporting a disinformation spam account posting uyghur genocide fake news rubs the mods the wrong way. I had no idea that instance was this much of a dumpster fire. Am I officially a communist now? Seems like a rite of passage has occurred
Yes this problem likely won't be solved without someone taking apart the telemetry software. Spoofing the sensor data is an option if you understand how the data is collected but hardly a good option for someone without a specific skillset

Same thing happened with my nephew over the 4th.
