  He put out another Bad Boys sequel last year. I’m pretty sure he’s doing aight financially. If not, he’s a moron and it’s funny because it’s always funny when rich people go broke.

  Well in the EU you get instant free payments through SEPA and the US is trying to implement something similar with FedNow. Doesn’t solve the cross border issues, but Wise does once you can get the money on Wise. I get paid in dollars via ACH and they become euros real fast once I see them in my account. 1000 dollars converted is just under 3 dollars in fees and then the transfer from Wise to any other SEPA account is free and instant.

  Now crypto could very well make this all even smoother worldwide but unfortunately we have governments and they like to see what’s going on. So no reputable merchants will ever be able to take XMR payments in most countries.

  Absolutely - if you’re good about your opsec. If you’re not, it’s almost worse than a bank transaction and for sure worse than cash.

  I hope she enjoys the Mini! Though at this point that’s a fairly modern car. 15 years old is 2010 and many of those allow retrofitting factory options for sound. I’m looking to get Carplay in my brand new 18 year old German shitbox that’s both falling apart and in excellent shape at the same time. Mr12volt has kits for a lot of those, but sadly no Minis.

  Things are slowly starting to get better in a lot of the fields I interface with.

  Payroll and accounting software? Many great browser-based offerings. Unfortunately that also means the backend is running in the developer’s servers, but these applications were generally proprietary to begin with.

  EMR company I’ve done a lot of work with (used to be an engineer there), has essentially halted progress on their Windows-only native client (and it was DEEPLY entrenched in Windows) and is now browser based, retaining 99% of functionality. This one always connected to a proprietary backend anyway.

  Own a VW, Audi, Seat, Škoda, Bentley or Lamborghini (depending on model year for some of those)? The popular 3rd party diagnostic software for those, called VCDS, now has a mobile variant if you buy the wireless dongle instead of the cable - it runs a server in the dongle itself that you connect to via wifi, and it displays the sofware as a website. Of course it’s available for non-mobile browsers too.

  I’m assuming you’ve moved on, but if not, there are FM transmitters for when you want music or navigation instructions from your phone to play over the vehicle’s speakers. Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack ones are both available.

  Might be that the only one that gets any fresh air into their office is the one closest to the smoker.

  I mean if I found a wallet with a million euros worth of bitcoin, I’d sell half and keep half. If it rises significantly, sell half of the remainder. And so on.

  If I found a wallet with like 5k worth of BTC on it though? Just sell it all right away, it’ll do more for me now than say 10k in 5 years which is an insane long term return tbf.

  Not everyone has decent ventilation.

  I do hope you’re being real careful with your opsec if anonymity is important to you. Generally speaking, more people will know who paid who with crypto compared to bank transfers. Chains like Monero are an exception of course and yes, there are ways to anonymize other wallets too, but it requires a great deal of care, more than I personally trust myself.

  You’ve got a valid point for the card payments where there are huge fees the merchant has to pay (nearly 2% for many I think), but bank transfers are infinitely cheaper (free) and instant, compared to paying gas fees and waiting. Obviously this is not true for all banking systems yet, but it’s getting there.

  Why do that when you can instead partner with ClosedAI for education, meaning we can spend government money on AI bs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$1.5 Billion AI Company That Reportedly Used No Actual AI Goes Belly Up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  1.5 billion is enough to give everyone in my country about a grand. Won’t change most people’s lives, but I bet it would help thousands of people out of a debt cycle and a lot of people could pull the trigger on some appliance or maybe a car repair that they’ve been putting off. Estonia isn’t poor, but it’s far from rich, even after all those startups.

  If Grok starts responding with “idk I wanna kill myself” to “what do you want for dinner”, I’m quite sorry, those are my conversations. To be clear, I’m not the one who constantly wants to die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All that’s happening now is that software engineers have less job security than McDonald’s staff. If you think that’s good for anyone but corporate shareholders, I’ve a bridge to sell you.

  Ideally everyone’s jobs should be getting better, but all that’s happening is that for a bunch of people, things are rapidly getting worse. Worst part is, kids are still being told to go study computer science because “it’s the future”, knowing full well they’ll be working at a fast food chain with that degree because there’s going to be one job for every 50 students. Google, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft will continue to make record profits though. Just with fewer pesky employees to pay.

  I’d rather see the fence painter be paid more than the software engineer be laid off. I thought we were all part of the same working class. But maybe that’s just me.

  Female protags are rare. They used to be epic loot, but it’s getting better now.

  I guess it’s Portal for me too. Then Oblivion with a female character with that golden armor from shivering isles for shiny boobs. I was a horny teen and porn was getting boring lol
