fun fact, last year I had a contractor come to my house. He was a very nice guy. After he was done we were talking and it turned out he was terry’s brother… He told me a lot of stories about him and his life, mental health and death. Pretty sad and interesting..

I still have my first recorded CD from 94 early 95 with a beta version of windows 95 plus some other utilities from the time, it still reads fine.

they seize random voting machines from polling sessions and input a known amount of votes for each candidate and match them with the ending totals. (just one kind of audit they do)
tiagobraw | 3 years ago | on: I spent $3k on a Samsung Smart TV and all I got were ads and unwanted content
I also own a samsung smart tv and hate the ad in the source screen, but more infuriating is their tv app always reappearing in the source menu as the first option… I always delete it but after a while there it is again..
also, it’s very ironic that I got a samsung ad on this site…

I think he meant that if the price of 1 bitcoin rise, the energy cost of mining 1 bitcoin should also rise in proportion

this is a huge factor that influences almost every other decision he listed there: - living with roommates or renting a cheap apartment - not wanting to buy an apartment - having the time to do side hustles - even changing career paths is challenging when you have a family to take care of - saving the majority of his annual compensation
I don’t want to say his advices are bad, just keep in mind that it’s not applicable to everyone

no, it probably won't cause a massive pump... For every seller there's a buyer.. who would be in the other side of the trade if tether is deemed worthless?
A more probable scenario is that trading pairs against USDT will just get halted.

also fees can be nonexistent for big customers, which are likely to engage in such things
tiagobraw | 4 years ago | on: The metaverse is bullshit
suprised that no one is talking about neosvr[1], even though I don't use it I definitely can see the appeal.
They have metaverse in their name. Their avatar system is beyond phenomenal and they keep adding new things [2].

used to love pixel phones, my first smartphone was a google nexus and had one until pixe 2.
Then one day I needed Google support for hardware… It was terrible. Just to contact them was multiile multi hour wait calls until I could get it RMAd and had to stay a week without a phone… then I switched to iphone and guess what, it has the same apps… except I know if something happens with my phone I can just take it to a apple store and have it checked right away
tiagobraw | 4 years ago | on: Ads are impersonating government websites in Google results, despite ban
I hate that there is no easy way to block or report a bad ad on google… don’t like that 30 minute ad in a 5 minutes video? too bad… don’t like that adult content ad on the middle of your daughter video? too bad.. not that you can use a different platform anyway
