  • James Howells. Quite a sad story. For those unaware, I'll give you the short version:

    In 2013, Howells mined close to 8,000 BTC and saved his private keys (which is like a password to get access to your BTC) to his laptop's hard drive. Months later he absent-mindedly throws it in the trash. Next morning he realizes what he's done and tries going to the local garbage dump to search for it. He grew obsessed with finding the hard drive. It got to the point where his wife left him and took the kids with her. To this day he's still trying to get his local government to give him permission to dig through the city's garbage dump.

  • The one on the left is built to last longer, and is practically timeless. The one on the right will probably fall apart after a few years of use, and eschews fucntion for a more "modern" design that will inevitably fall out of style.

    (Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.)

  • I switched to Proton Mail in 2019, and recently started switching to their VPN service to use port forwarding. Glad to see Proton is putting their money where their mouth is.

  • My theory is that vampires can only handle sunlight in small doses, not when the sun is directly shining on the Earth.
