I guess with QR codes the ColdCard is fairly airgapped. Nifty. Is it a trustworthy company? Is the intermediate PSBT human readable — can you confirm contents before submitting to network? I almost feel like crypto bros are all into HODL be

I remember being shocked at some point that my deposits at a bank would actually be a liability on their books not an asset. When you think about it as passing around debt, it makes a bit more sense.

Yeah who in this world has never had to reset a password? That’s what this means. That laser inscribed metal fob with you keys on it may as well be made of platinum. And I’ve never felt clear on how people trust wallet, hot or cold — at som

Hmm, I didn’t consider that, very good point. With 10x the volume, maybe the mirror and sunshine origami could have been avoided or much simpler. I wonder how to figure out how much the cost was because of that complicated mechanics…

JWST cost $10B. The launch was expensive at $1.5B; but getting that down to $750M won’t really change the availability.

I’m afraid I don’t understand how Starship could help proliferate JWST. It was launched with Ariana 5 which is a mature launch system. The bottleneck is actual manufacturing of JWST - the folding mirror was especially fraught; I think the s

They are using beef tallow for the fries, which is a good development. It’s interesting there is no non-EV parking. Will they tow you?

Can you elaborate on your learning journey? How did you separate out the worthless content from quality education programs? Very few Unis post lectures anymore, so it’s all hit or miss for me.

YT Premium is pretty expensive. I think it costs as much for one user for a multi-device plan on Netflix? They don’t create nor curate much content. I am curious about the poster who has learned so much from YouTube — I have tried learning

I like the clear transparent apps and widgets. I feel like that’s less stimulating like running my phone on grayscale. Mostly just a pretty picture with tools if I seek them out.

So many “tech” companies aren’t really tech, they just apply fairly standard software principals to new industries. Companies like salesforce, Uber, Airbnb are more marketing or market making apps. Eventually they do apply some more sophist

I never went to office hours because I felt I had not worked hard enough to bother the professor yet. Just fell further and further behind. Big mistake that haunts me to today, learn from this point! I’m more skeptical of write “everything”

I don’t know why Apple and Google haven’t published a geofencing protocol where locations can publish DND or limit internet access at these locations. Basically the phone communicates with the venues via an AirTag like network and enters DN

I would argue a US mailing address is at least as complicated a structure, but people managed to figure out the state abbreviations and ZIP Codes fine. We just need to teach it in elementary school just like we do addresses. Speaking of tha

Well, I actually like to have my own domain for things where I have purchased something and have ownership, like my Amazon Kindle account. It is tied to my Gmail account and then Gmail decides I am sketchy for some reason I lose access. It’

Generally they will hold onto data for a while without payment. It’s not like a hard drive needs to be replaced every couple of years — can you prepay cloud like domains?

Finding the time to go through and make sure its not relevant (like tax documents) and deduping photos. The ease of capturing things means we have far more to sift through. I agree I would like to just toss, but I have used older document

I didn’t know there were still bottles using BPA, is that true? We are a big Nalgene bottle family, as the wide mouths are easy to drink and clean from, and the caps are attached since our children would lose them instantly. I’ve always had

I backup some what similarly. Curious, how is Excel encryption? That may be a more approachable format than CSV GPG, and though technically the CSV GPG is more simpler, it may be less familiar to users in 100 years. Excel will still be arou

Actually, 1Password had local syncing where you synced the vaults between devices on a local connection (I think it was point to point WiFi, so your internet dropped off, Bluetooth was less common then). So it was bucket brigade syncing. Dr

I have stopped looking at my lab results because all it does most the time is caused me extreme anxiety. I have a rare disease which causes an obscure blood marker to basically jump two orders of magnitude. If you google this jump marker, b

Ha, as the OP posed it as a question: “what will happen…” and I was going to answer “lose a limb” The eye angle is even more troubling, to be frank. If I’m brining 2024 tech into wood shop, let’s make it robotic hands!

We ask Google Home for many questions but it’s always “sent the result to your phone”. Things like historical facts, trivia, as we put our phones away during meals and when together as a family but still want to query the world. I would lov

I definitely remember using Windows 3.1 near mouseless -- when did Microsoft remove the underscore under menu items? It probably wasn't optimal like some of the modern incarnations, but it was ubiquitous and pretty fast. In this regar
