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 →

If your bitaxe was mining to a coldcard address don't forget to change it.

When you think about the origins of podcasting, it feels weird that we've become so dependent on 24/7 internet access that you could probably carve out a niche with a podcast app that specializes in nothing more than reliable 'off-grid' playback.

Would it be possible to build a pocket mesh node out of an old Zippo lighter case? Or would the metal interfere with the signal? 🤔

Just once I'd like to shake my pecker at the wife and have her react the same way she does when she notices a sale on butter 🤣

15 years ago we were promised that in 15 years we'd automatically ring up our groceries simply by dropping them into the shopping cart. Instead, the future we got was trying to wrangle a week's worth of groceries through a self checkout designed to handle 10 items or less, powered by a Pentium 2, while the latest and greatest in compute is used to power the overhead surveillance camera which hopefully isn't recording our debit card's PIN or running facial recognition so some intel agency can determine whether our companion is spouse or lover.
