What are you saying? That Trump is correct and that other nations need to join and coordinate with U.S. sanctions because they also can't compete against China's manufacturing expertise and slave labor?

Huh!

I now understand your unexpectedly low living conditions. You're still renting because you spend all your time spouting rubbish on Slashdot instead of working to earn money and improve yourself.

Get off the internet.

I'd say that the majority of crypto transactions, by far, are speculative trading.

But, I do agree that there are not a lot of criminal transactions.

This is extraordinarily close to my vision and hope in ~2010.

My vision used a smartphone for the CPU and a projected virtual keyboard. I realize now that the virtual keyboard was a stupid concept. But otherwise we are so close!

Awww

Mod parent up.

Especially for the appropriate classical use of the word "retard".

So Porsches can't drive through tunnels, into underground garages, deep valleys, or through sky scraper canyons?

This explanation doesn't make sense.

An 18 inch Tsunami?

I guess it could get my shoes wet, or flood a road way.

This cosmic bit flip thing stinks of bullshit. Especially when a cosmic physics problem is somehow solved by a software reversion.

Seems like bad code to me.

Also, if the bit flip is possible, then it's a design error for failing to use ECC RAM.

I are so smart.

Unless your Linux machine is in space, it is because you have bad memory!

When you see this error, you replace the fucking memory and then you don't see it anymore.

I have hundreds of Linux systems under my management and this error never occurs. Is that because they are shielded from neutrinos in special lead and water lined bunkers? Nope, they just don't have bad memory chips in them.

1. Your $40 transaction via crypto ATM is identifiable an traceable. You just haven't risen to the level of anyone caring enough to put in the effort.

2. Laundering money through a crypto ATM may be feasible for the corner drug dealer's few hundred dollars. But, you'll have a much harder time doing it with tens of thousands or millions of dollars.

The point: Yes, there are criminals using this payment system for illegal activities. But we can say the same thing about Visa. The "crypto bad cuz criminals" attitude is just a red herring to further an agenda. Being able to transact international payments without physically moving and converting USD is huge, for the users.

Where the hell do you live that rent is only $700?

The comment section is filled with wannabe elitists pretending they have no use for checks and even some claiming not to know what checks are.

You're all very amusing. However, in the real world, not just the United States, checks are still very much in use for all sorts of reasons. Furthermore, this is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Don't allow your limited vision, in your tiny and insignificant microcosm, to fool you into thinking you know better. You're the same people who aren't allowed to withdraw more cash than £/€500-1,000 per day. A daily limit on how much of your own money you are permitted to have. LOL!

When you buy it, accepting a certain level of cuntiness, and they make it an even more cunty pile of shit, that is enshitfication.

I have my garage door connected to my home automation system, using RATGDO. The home automation system monitors the garage door's status and will send me alerts on my phone if the garage door has been left open for too long. For instance open for 15 minutes at night, or when the home automation system thinks no one is home. Then I can choose to trigger a door close, remotely. Yes, over the internet, but not through anyone else's cloud. It all happens via my own private local home automation system. If you've ever been on your way somewhere and a few minutes out you can't remember of you closed teh garage door or not, this is a God send.

It is also handy to open the door, when no one is home, for deliveries or to let family or staff in...
