Cavill plays 40k and builds PCs - that dude doesn’t have any spare money to invest in NFTs!

According to Spikes, your phone would use its own facial detection technology to make sure you’re watching the ad. If you look away, the ad will pause and an “Are you still there?” message will appear.

It definitely sounds like the idiot(s) behind them are actual far-right neo-nazis.

Isn’t that perpetuating the problem, as a bunch of anti-crypto people signal-boost this ‘rebel action’ by...  purchasing the NFT of it?

The best thing is they nearly always collapse immediately after yet another rug pull.

These cryptoc*nts are so obsessed with flipping a number and replacing it with a larger number that they *never* stop to do even the most cursory of background investigation... 

Probably the same people who buy into ‘X picture [sic] below’ scams on eBay, then get upset when a picture of a the product in question arrives in the post...

The circus is gonna circus. If you take *all* the nonsense put out cynically, you’re going to end up in a downward spiral of believing nobody is genuine about anything, because they’re all offering vapid non-opinions for clicks & self-promotion.

I admit it’s hard not to see it this way these days, given all the…

To be fair, I think they’re referring to the fact the browser now automatically offers to find and apply vouchers on e-commerce checkouts, not sign you up for BNPL scams (even though doing the latter is definitely the worst).

The soundtrack for the original is better, otherwise YMMV.

But isn’t the point of this is it’s actually changing the settings in the ROM?

From a layman’s position, it seems to be based purely on engagement and spread...

Right-wingers intentionally posting lies tends to get the most engagement from people across the spectrum, with those agreeing with them signal boosting and those disagreeing attempting to fact-check and shout it down, where as truthful…

No, he didn’t.

It’s The Sun.

The use of unnamed sources and oblique woolly details means the story has likely been manufactured to fill column inches, fuel the current administration’s culture wars and to chuck another dead cat onto the table to distract from other Johnson government policies.

I guess it all depends on whether you consider money laundering and/or selling something that you don’t necessarily own a scam or not...

I definitely watched more Go-Bots than Transformers - the former was on CITV in the UK, whereas Transformers was basically VHS only at the time and I was only lucky to get More than Meets the Eye and Return of Optimus Prime.

‘Hands-off’ typically translates as ‘we don’t want to pay people to do it’.

By setting their arbitrary standards, they get to set the store up to manage itself, with a small team of content moderators hovering miles overhead investigating products that are repeatedly reported by whatever tools the loose framework…

Well they will stop on their own volition when the business no longer becomes profitable, but the only way to end the practice for good would be for national/regional governments to introduce laws preventing their actions (like, for example, some governments have stopped event ticket scalping).

Just like this constant promise to move from ‘Proof of Work’ to ‘Proof of Stake’, it requires everyone with the actual investments to say ‘Yeah, OK!’

The only weak link here is human nature - the moment Bitcoin or Ethereum genuinely become ‘Proof of Stake’, we will get a cold war between the people with the stake (who…

They do. This is what the CMP line is - it was basically the 16xx line cards with the IO hardware removed & everything downclocked to reduce power consumption...

Problem was it was all for naught as the industrial-scale miners don’t really care about power consumption when the newer consumer hardware returns enough…

I mean, it is, but yeah, Apple (along with Amazon) convincing big names to make full games that don’t rely on layer upon layer of skinner box techniques is good.
