   Disclaimer: I don't have one The reason i don't is because i like actual programming way more than the theory behind it. 4 Years of Java, computer history & hard crypto math sound like a pain for me that likely won't impr

   No not at all. No limits, actually only spending the exact amount with no way of spending more. Yes there are modern banking solutions like this (we have instant transfers between banks with a comfortable QR scanning app just like google pa

   I've spent like $200 for a graphics card (that i used for 6+ years after that) and $100 on power to mine about 3-5 Bitcoins within a few months until the summer heat did not allow me to proceed (plus back then it was literally not wort

   This is the same timeline i remember. When Bitcoin was still new it did not seem a lot more practical for illegal/grey area things than other things that were already etablished (PaySafe, PerfectMoney or even PayPal for example). It&#x

   People turning circles talking about how unstable crypto might is without even knowing about stablecoins (which might have their own downsides yes). You can have your whole net value in crypto but bound to the USD. Its not much different to

   One big difference is that if i send someone Crypto they can't spend any more than i have sent them. If i give them my credit card (and they possibly even leak/loose it) i have a far bigger risk for fraud.

   Over easter banking was essentially closed for 5 days due to holidays. A system that simply shuts down all business for 5 days feels so weird & dated So its not only about permissions and burocracy but also that their system is old and

   I don't know why people keep telling this. In reality most people who get into Bitcoin do this because they heard all those amazing stories of getting rich and when they check they see the value is rising, rising and still rising. I do

    Just because you get paid in crypto does not mean you do not hold the money in FIAT. Whatever people think about USDT or other stable coins, its easy to move your crypto worth into USD and back. What you could do against the fact that the U

    Fees? People whine about high Bitcoin fees, but with your Tesla example what are those $15 Bitcoin fees against a 3% fee from a credit card provider? Moving money in higher amounts can get expensive as fuck.

    Spending Bitcoin & Crypto is incredible easy in Switzerland. Our main Amazon alternative as well as the biggest food delivery network both accept crypto. You can even pay your taxes in some places. I know only few people who own crypto

    Its not only the sound thing. Its so weird to me how i still am able to find most options on a modern Windows computer even thought i stopped back with XP. And not because its so intuitive, but because it never really changed at all, just a

    I read there is a Teams client for Linux. And it works kinda well too. Is this really the year of the linux desktop? But really, what a weird time to live in. Native (working) linux clients from Microsoft?

    Thats only partially helpful. What if you get mentioned in channels you have no role for? What if a team needs a way to spin up private channels, so they need access to setting roles, wouldnt that open up the whole "role" system t

    Slack is also thin, supports third party clients and is super easy to code for (Discord is too, but more hoops). And provides actual enterprise worthy support. From a professional POV deciding between both is a no brainer IMO

    Spam is not a good reason anyway. I would argue browser based spam automations are more easy to setup than modified clients. And Discord can do shit against those.

    As someone who uses discord as chat only (if even), their CPU (and partly RAM usage) is simply not excusable. And Audio & Video are not argument for such a bloated client either, well done WebRTC is everything but bloated.

    Maybe its time to give them a go. Do you know if those "Sports Plus" Clips are the "good ones" or does it not matter in terms of audio quality? Going to check the rockbox wiki for specific models i guess :)
