Not really, I don't dwell on it. If anything it was a series of life changes that has nothing to do with crypto that caused me to reassess life in a different way and question and challenge thoughts and decisions I had made in the pas

I first "looked" at BTC @ <$1 and by looked I visited a few websites. I then looked again at ~$100 and felt that it was too involved with crime for me to be associated in any way with it (I work in Regulated Financial markets a

Indeed my first assessment way back when it was <$1 was that it was a Ponzi scheme. However, the market has been saying something I ignored for years... so I took another look at things and this time really took the time to study it. B

I can relate to the devastating on many levels part. I felt like I didn't actually know what happened in the past, so I didn't know who I was in the present, and the future I was working towards was gone. It was existentially di

That sounds like a personality disorder which is why you should thoroughly vet a long term partner and screen for personality disorders early on in a relationship. I hope the husband finds out and recovers from the betrayal.

I've come to see that people are far more complex than what you may think, and that complexity arises from a process of self discovery. To address your point, the cheating could have arisen from emotional issues that hadn't been c

Thank you very much! I think my son will love the 'real life' Minecraft digging a secret tunnel series colinfurze has made.

This reminds me of an 80s tv show called MacGyver which impressed on me as a kid that you can use what you got to get out of tricky situations. I've done loads of different things as a result of this attitude. The only time I stopped

My experience with not regularly changing passwords is that the security of your login credentials decays over time. If you keep track of when you changed your passwords you will know what time period you were compromised if you check a we

Fair point. It's not just this, it's the lack of being able to upgrade. I guess I'm just old and remember when I did my first upgrade from a 14.4k modem to a 33.6k modem and how much faster it was (lol). This is why my nex

Right, I got your point. However, I'm not so certain Apple has engineered their devices in a way that guarantees the chain of trust for the hardware components. I would wager major governments have the ability to carry out interdiction

Sure, but these celebrities completely outsourced their security to Apple because they trusted Apple. "Apple knows best"... but clearly not because Apple should have had rate limiting for password login attempts to stop password b

As mentioned previously, the last Apple product I purchased was the iPad Gen 1 (2010). However, my security consciousness changed post Snowden (2013) and I devoted time and effort to study and implement strong infosec. This was about when

I agree it's a preference... but I wouldn't go so far as to describe anti-consumer as hyperbole. Hyperbole is making something sound more impressive than it is, and anti-consumer is not being favorable to consumers. Some people, l

From my point of view I believe I can be trusted to reset my Apple ID quickly. I'm very security conscious which is why unlocking my Apple ID does not unlock 'everything about me'. As I mentioned in a previous reply, I get

I couldn't really understand comments like yours until I read a comment by saagarjha above which summed it up nicely by saying, "The conflict occurs for the parts where people do feel like they can make better decisions than Apple

This anti consumer approach by Apple is why I refuse to buy anything from them. My last Apple purchase was the iPad Gen 1 as I thought it was a truly remarkable device when it came out but the planned obsolescence was obvious after a few s

When I was a young child, growing up in the US, I was given a children's book called Bidibidi (by Gavin Bishop) by my Kiwi grandmother. If I remember correctly, the Wizard saves Bidibidi (who is a sheep). When my father, remarked tha

Thank you for mentioning the Feelings Wheel. I never knew it existed and when I looked it up I could immediately see its use with my parenting as my son struggles to express his emotional state. I wonder if you've used it, or the Emo

When we are infants, our close social circle enthusiastically encourages us to walk, through every failed attempt, until we walk (and then run) without thinking. As adults I think we generally don't curate a social circle that will gi

I mean wouldn't it be logical for the criminals to adapt? It's now public that: a) Crypto is secure, b) Infiltration is difficult, and c) You can't trust hardware and software vendors. From what I can tell the criminals need

The striking thing is that criminal enterprise relies on software as much as any other legitimate business. The adage "software is eating the world" comes to mind. It's probably the case that more technically adept criminal

My fault, I didn't articulate my thoughts clearly enough. Essentially my belief is that if a studio creates its own IP successfully, it's indicative of talent executing a well planned risky project. A positive example is, Sucker P

Let's face it, nothing will change until US lawmakers start forcing change. Unfortunately, US lawmakers by and large don't understand social media (CEO testimonies prove this), and nothing will really change for everyone outside
