Solid way to go, no joke.

Thank you for adding this. Have a great day.

I made a video about this problem in September, but here’s the TLDW:

Many consumers, thanks to the inflated gas prices, shitty economy and shitty wages, are buying inexpensive off-brand products and batteries and/or charging their device when they’re out of the home working because they have to. All of this is risky behavior and could result in a battery fire. Here’s what you want to do in order to be safe:

1. Use the Manufacturer’s Charger
2. Don’t Leave your Device Unattended While Charging
3. Charge Only On Safe Surfaces (And Don’t Block Exits)
4. Mind the Battery Temperature / Don’t Charge Overnight
5. Inspect Your Battery Regularly
6. Don’t Plug Into a Power Strip or Extension Cord, but into an outlet directly.

This is unfortunately a problem worldwide, because the poverty problem is worldwide.

Also, as someone mentioned below: Yes, do not cheap out on e-mobility. Save if you can and buy from a trusted brand, or if you’re in Europe, only buy CE certified products.

I’m okay with LibreOffice.

That makes three states and two major cities by my count.

2/3 of the US states will have some flavor of ban within the next year or two.

I bet that happens more regularly than we know.

Donald is like a little girl on Santa’s lap wishing for a pony for Christmas.

It would be adorable if his admin weren’t literally murdering schoolkids.

Jensen Huang is one dumb son of a bitch.

Still going to be rich for life though. Lucky dumb son of a bitch.

Yeah, Futurism’s presentation is always overly dramatic and clickbaity. I end up learning more by clicking on the embedded links in the articles than the articles themselves.

Uh.

Wut.

I give you all permission to download mine.

Please just credit anything you might use and tag my channel. Cheers.

Stay vigilant out there. Well done.

They tinkered with the pool scene where Charlie is photographing the party from the bushes, to my understanding.

The original season of Stranger Things also had an episode that got retconned in part because of MeToo.

Joke’s on you NYT.

I don’t read your bootlicking, billionaire-coddling content anyway.

Yep. Mind numbingly stupid.

Unironically, it is.

It would cost significantly more to the owner of said crypto to move it via a bank. That’s partly why crypto is so appealing.

I think so. I’m not an expert in crypto, but I know that there are ways to connect identities to transactions, though my understanding is that it’s not a simple thing. You have to have enough data to connect a wallet to an ID, IIRC.

I read a really good book about it earlier this year: Tracers in the Dark. (Which I highly recommend. EXCELLENT book.)

Some use crypto for illegal activities yes, but some just like their privacy, and it’s good that we have a means for people to continue to maintain their privacy in their financial dealings. Especially now that Donald has normalized the surveillance state to a formerly unimaginable degree.

And besides, the fees for transferring crypto internationally are significantly lower than transacting internationally through a bank, so saying there’s not utility for it isn’t exactly true.

It appears the Binance hack was a social engineering stunt. Can’t say I’m surprised. Often the biggest weaknesses in any system is the people running it.
