If you could design a bathroom exhaust fan that was just a smidge quieter than a John Deere 2025R running at 540 RPM, I bet you could make some serious money 🀑

What's really wild is realizing that as old as these tools are to us, they were at one point regarded as the 'latest and greatest' to some poor soul who had to use even less efficient tools.

I can't shake the feeling that the 'grounding' fad is probably a psy-op dreamed up by the makers of tub and tile cleaning products πŸ€”

This only reinforces what I've said for years, I'll ride a bicycle before I let a dealership service department touch my car.

Turns out Linux has this thing called sudo apt update. You just type it into the Terminal and it goes out and looks for updates. You don't have to open an app store app and dig around for where they moved the 'check for updates' icon this week. ❀

OTOH I couldn't imagine the stress levels of discovering a vulnerability that put an insane amount of digital currency at risk and trying to figure out a private way to warn the owner/manager without tipping off every scumbag inside of every three-letter agency on the planet. View quoted note β†’

How the heck did you super nerds ever use linux before LLMs? Was there like a giant dictionary of terminal commands at every desk? How could someone possibly commit all of this stuff to memory and still have enough brain cells left to remember menial things like your wife's birthday, or to wipe after you poop? You guys aren't human.

Little surprise it won when the other choices were: - pay more for onboard storage - both options - don't care "I can’t recall seeing a more one-sided poll on Android Authority. More than 4 in every 5 readers (82%) want to see the return of the microSD card slot. Notably, this poll garnered over 8,100 votes, indicating that thousands of readers support this particular move."

I suppose a lot of it depends on whether they were using Coldcards themselves and not just flashing the freebie they may have received as part of the sponsor deal because if that was the case, they were as much at risk as their followers were. As Jeff Booth so often says, the problem is us. We can sniff out superficial or outright paid reviews on Amazon but just assume that a chiseled bitcoiner with a blonde streak could possibly have enough time to deep-level inspect every single product they review (the editing of which by itself is probably an enormous time-suck). We all got got. View quoted note β†’
