Why would you need to even bring payment processors into play? Just store the credit card numbers and use them for whatever (or sell the numbers on the dark web).

But like using QR codes to pay for parking is already pretty common in my city. If someone made a professional looking poster and a professional looking site, I bet most people would fall for it. But then the scam isn’t that low effort anymore.

Doubt it. The OS should already take care of it. Virtual memory in Hard drive/ SSDs is already a thing and OSes seem to be doing fine. If this would be a problem, it would already be there, it’s not anything ultradrive would introduce.

Why tf does Google have Google TV, Android TV, Youtube TV and Youtube red? Who tf will keep track of all the differences between the services? I see they are adopting their very successful messaging strategy here too.

Right, I think I fully agree with you here. But your first paragraph just disqualifies bitcoin as a currency which I fully agree. But it says nothing about Bitcoin as an asset. You sell plenty of assets to get cash, Bitcoin is no different.

I don’t understand the India-China point at all. They are still polluting way less per capita than US is. And while manufacturing dirty consumer goods consumed by Americans too. Like do Americans just think they get to dump all the carbon for the last 200 years and still retain the privilege to produce a lot more…

And I mostly saw memes and jokes, I didn’t think people were actually taking it seriously

As long as people perceive the value, it has value. Government backed or not. I don’t believe bitcoin is the future but it’s stupid to say it doesn’t have value rn.

Fair and p sure you cannot. But a lot of new dumbphones nowadays just run a stripped-down version of Android, so some might.

The most interesting part of your story was that DHL actually delivers in the mainland US. Never seen them anywhere whereas they seem to be everywhere in Europe/ Asia the way UPS/ FedEx are here.

lol what other platforms are there? Also, the difference is that Google is willing to make RCS cross-platform vs Apple isn’t willing with iMessage.

Does this look bad?

Idk I find Celsius more intuitive precisely because of what you said. Having sizeable and measurable shifts in temperature than I can understand in intervals of 10 is what makes it so much better than Fahrenheit for me. -10 is cold af, 0 is freezing, 10 is chilly, 20 is nice, 30 is hot, 40 is the desert. Each interval…

As someone who grew up with Celsius, Celsius is the temperature in relation to how humans feel for me. -10 is cold af, 0 is freezing, 10 is chilly, 20 is nice, 30 is hot, 40 is the desert. How is this not intuitive?

And Kinja is better?

I honestly don’t care. As long as Game Pass has titles I still wanna play, I don’t care new games that are exclusive to Series.

Doesn’t the fartax bill also advocate for dismantling the IRS entirely? And if an economic bill relies on morality to enforce taxation, I’m not sure I trust it.

Hmm interesting thought. This honestly sounds like a win-win-win scenario as it stands but what if these companies become more and more abusive of their consumers when they realize they aren’t competing against each other anymore?

Hmm wouldn’t this also increase widespread tax evasion? I know it happens rn but something like this would increase it a lot more. The only thing you’d need to do to evade taxes is just not record a transaction. I bet we would see a lot shadier deals (and legal loopholes) happening all over the place to evade taxes if…

I’m still rocking my XBox One S and don’t see the point of upgrading tbh. I mostly use it as a Gamepass machine and I always have something new to play, so I don’t see why I should upgrade rn. I’m probably gonna wait until it breaks and then just get the newest one.
