No need for doubt. There is no technology in place that would guarantee any kind of privacy.

For the current version, we are using a Mistral LLM (Mistral 7B) hosted within Mozilla’s GCP instance.

Unbacked tokens. You mean like Tether?

Exactly like Tether. USDT was never backed 1:1 by USD. They don’t even try to deny it anymore. They admit it’s backed by “various assets, including BTC”, which smells like a market manipulation.

How does Taler promote taxation?

“Customers can stay anonymous, but merchants can not hide their income through payments with GNU Taler. This helps to avoid tax evasion and money laundering.”

it might definitely be useful when used correctly in the future

I can almost see the monk smacking an orphan for holding the spoon in the wrong hand :D

GNU Taller is pretty fragile, though. One bank issues unbacked tokens and the credibility of the whole system goes down the drain. It’s the current financial system, just rebranded. Also, it promotes taxation which automatically makes it a cult & scam.

That’s interesting. I’ve initially written it off as a scam. Until I’ve learned about the proof-of-work.

Monero is great. Except for the fact that when the dev team dislikes what miners are doing, they introduce a new arbitrary rule, and everyone just goes with it. Having a process to introduce such changes unilaterally is a bug that needs to be fixed first.

Also, there’s a lightning network which allows you to transact bitcoin fast and cheap. Although the privacy aspect is still not solved there.

We also need a McDonald’s emoji, Pepsi emoji, Windows emoji and Mastercard emoji

bitcoin is not a company.

If you come from IT, you never really quit. A little parser bug here, a small race condition there, or a fucking baking oven refusing to bake until you tell it what time it is. No hope, no escape.

I’m not exactly sure what it is that I’ve just seen, but I am mildly aroused.

Aren’t smart watches almost universally bricked by default unless you undergo an online activation, sharing all kinds of personal information?

I’m stuck on miband 3, since it’s the last model sold unlocked.

This is actually the most shocking thing of all. We raise little misinformation spreaders all over the world, base their entire worldview on dogmatic believes and act surprised when they grow up and spread misinformation.

It’s frustrating, depressing and time consuming lifestyle.

No need to avoid such stores, just wear a protection to avoid your face from being falsely flagged.

Plug-in systems are built around a microinverter that feeds solar energy back into the home via a standard wall jack.

What the actual fuck?

The PowerStream has three proprietary ports: one that connects to your MC4 solar panels

Disqualified.

Although using an up to date Android userspace is still less bad than stopping all the updates once the vendor jumps the ship.

It’s not going to stop a dedicated attacker, but having a somewhat secure webview that’s not going tu crumble under the first piece of malicious javascript goes a long way towards the peace of mind.

Almost every paragraph is it’s own, self-sufficient, malignant cancer. How did this even get published?

That goes against the entire history of currencies.

How come? Decentralized currencies were in place long before the dictators enforced their own private currencies on to all their subjects.

I still have this, but suspect it’s bricked after I’ve pressed the “do not press” button on the side. (i’m a filthy button pusher) If anybody has some firmware dumps or at least documentation, I’d appreciate it.

Never managed to use the brainwaves, but it was sensitive to the facial muscle movement. Good enough to play pong.

Pretty amazing… that apple allows access to the sensors, and provides an option to mirror the screen over HDMI! Given how touchy feely they were about openning the NFC stack, this is truly unbelievable.
