What were they smoking when they hashed out this solution?

Cash. Currency exchange. Used to be a tourist trap, intransparent and bad rates, commission on top; take only mint banknotes. Now often we see: No commission, rates with low spread (same as the best bank rates available to consumers). Takes bank notes and coins at no surcharge, no discussion.

This is for countries where cash is still king and practically required. It’s competition at work; there are multiple local shops and they advertise their rates publicly. With internet in everyone’s pocket, there’s little room for cheating. Just enough spread for this to be a profitable business without robbing the customer.

Compare to ATM operators, which are usually a oligopoly charging growing fees to foreigners. Because they can.

Perl?

The method, they use, requires a client-server architecture. Hence, they cannot attack a local keepass file even if you sync it to some cloud.

HP print cartridges.

I’m disappointed they say coming soon. Laat year or so, when they announced it, everyone assumed immediate availability.

Buy a bag of balloons with the money we got

Is there a non-sense free description.

So far, i learned that notepad can open links from Markdown. I assume Markdown calls some Windows API open(link) where link is any string. That’s hardly a vulnerability by itself, that’s working as designed.

Where does the code execution happen? Is it open(https://hackersite.com/exploite.exe)? Can’t be. They’re not that stupid.

Is it open(file:///PowerShell.exe?atbitaryCodeHere)? Who would allow this?

Or open(teams://magic/doThing)?

This sounds like trying to blame notepad (and by proxy all app developers) for a design flaw in the ecosystem

If they are buying a new laptop and macbooks cost about the same what they’d pay for a PC laptop, the mac is a solid choice.

I want to say Linux. I use Linux (and macs occasionally). Linux is great. But macs are also great and work very well out of the box. So does Linux, if the hardware is fully supported and if you don’t need any non-linux desktop software. Those are some ifs.

Resistent to rust.

Reboot?

You mean Word, Excel, and so on…

Exactly. Some things just work in every civilised country.

Real pros carry a thing to unlock the carts without a coin. A small metal piece on your key chain or wallet dies the trick. We still return the cart every time. This is just common sense.

Seems wild. Are employees not a relevant cost factor?

You are overdoing the m-dashes. Ask an LLM to correct your style. They are known to get this right.

If the US moves forward with this distopian night mare, people will indeed stop immigrating to the US. This won’t be obvious unless it’s too late.

Your logic is sound, but Bending Spoon is not know to care about value. If Vimeo owns any infrastructure, they’ll sell at it at ebay.

They are not concerned about illegally attacking those nations, though.

I could live on 50% my salary now – after building my retirement funds. I’m probably a lot older than you are. I’m not married. In Germany if this matters.

Progressive taxation and health insurance costs help a lot. You’ll earn half the brutto, but the interesting question is the netto. You can run your numbers here: https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/teilzeit.php (in German)

1400 net can be a perfectly liveable depending on location / housing cost, but you need to think about retirement savings!
