Just a computer with a bunch of hard drives so you can store your media all in one place. Most of the time people expose this to their home network so they can access the files from all their devices while on the same wifi, but you can also

I expected nothing, just providing context. I agree this is very positive and costs Apple and Google very little. Seems like a win win.

Can I just have a wifi only phone and then have a separate wifi hotspot that actually does the connecting to the cell network? The hotspot wouldn't be "owned" but the phone could be.

Why would you want to though? It takes at least an hour to confirm (~6 blocks) without a third-party and the fees are getting super high (costs around $13.50 / 30624 satoshis per transaction to get reasonable transfer times). So unless

Selling helps them cover all the loans they gave out to pretend that buying / selling stocks is instant (and depositing money). The clearing house they use dramatically increased the collateral needed due to market volatility and they

Music is becoming more generic because musicians can rapidly reach a wide audience and iterate quickly, so they see what works and what doesn't and continue down the path of sound that produces the most money.

Lawyers just bring up class action lawsuits to skim money off the payout. The individual payouts are usually so small barely anyone goes through the hassle of claiming them. The one positive is, at least it’s a small slap on the wrist for b

I just got a new XPS13 after a decade of using only macbook pros. Honestly it's pretty good and like 95-99% as good as my macbook. The only thing I really miss is the incredible touchpad. The XPS touchpad is meh, although is functional

I wonder if there is a market for dumb TVs. They basically don't exist today. Closest thing I could get was a Dell conference room monitor, which is $1200 for a 55 inch, and $4500 for a 75 inch. A far cry from the $700 I spent on my cu

I would think, given how popular bitcoin is, every single change that goes into the code is reviewed by hundreds or thousands of developers. Malicious code will most likely be caught, and then someone can just fork it at that point and ever
