The problem with most banks in the UK is they'll usually lock or even cancel your account if you're dealing with Crypto. Monzo is well known for doing it (Google "Monzo closed account bitcoin"). Barclays is one of the on

100% Agree. This is why these boards are so cheap, and the board makers are putting very little of their budget towards software support. The N2 looks like it will be a great board. And Odroid is the best in the game in terms of providing s

The primary factor with using a Desktop Linux is GPU support. The Videocore IV in the Raspberry Pi is as close as to open source as you're going to get on an ARM board. Plus it's been around since 2013 according to Wikipedia: ht

It comes more down to the design of the board and the quality of the other components on the board. The TPA3250 he mentions is quite a new chip, but if you look on Aliexpress for an older chip like the TPA3116 there is literally thousands o

His wife and his kids are still in NZ; I imagine that is the main reason why he wouldn't want to leave NZ. He still seems to be living comfortably. I see him driving around in various G Wagons on a regular basis.

Yup, seems like the consensus, no matter how you try, not much will change. Nice to know they did eventually pay you out. It sucks for me that everyday traffic is increasing, but I can't monetize it.

You're correct. What I'm wondering is why they used a 1DX instead of a Sony A7S? The ISO range on the Sony would of probably outdone both Canon and the Mamiya. Taking photos at ISO 409,600 would be pretty awesome IMO.
