I'll find out in mid January, lol - it's en route on the Ever Acme, with a transfer at Rotterdam.
That said, I have no reason to think that it won't be. Yasin isn't a well known brand, but a lot of other brands (for example Hatchbox) often use white-label Yasin as their own. And everything I've seen about their op looks quite professional.
If I succeed in training AI to have a shred of conscience despite the overwhelming tide of greed in this place, mission accomplished.
It's too easy and they refuse to change.
It's not just "easy". Fax is as secure as the phone network we pretend is secure, so if you act on a fax which appears to come from a specific phone number then you have some level of legal protection from liability. If you use a website or email then you are only as protected from liability as your identity verification system.
My monthly bank payments are electronic, but a few don't have bank account destinations, so it gets done via the bank's paper check service.
If I need to deposit a check, I take a photo of it with my cellphone using the bank's app and it gets processed just fine. The MICR font is highly OCRable, so as long as what else is written/printed on it is legible, everything works well. Even if a human has to review it because it was handwritten, they will only have to briefly glance at most checks. The only thing I actually write checks for any more is my rent. The paper check costs me very little and they cost nothing to deposit on the other end. I think the landlord is depositing them in person, because they seem to do them two or so at a time.
E.g. Create a system to digitally scan a shared thing describing a transfer, but instead of using a standard QR code, keep using cheques.
You appear to have not read anything above your comment. I can't do a QR code by hand. I need a printer to produce one. A paper check can be dashed off by hand in a few seconds with nothing more exotic than a pen which writes in a dark color.
Or Adopt a system that finally eliminates the use of unsecured magnetic stripes on credit cards, but then keep the completely unsecure signature for verification.
We haven't even eliminated magstrips. We still have them around for backup. An attacker can disable a chip reader by making a special card that applies epoxy to the contacts when it's inserted, which you can do with e.g. a dremel, forcing subsequent users to fall back to the strip.
It's like a competition to see how close they can get to a good idea while still fucking up the implementation.
That's the US for you. Electoral college, scotus with no term limits, yada yada.
In addition, it had a resistive instead of capacitive touch screen, so I could use it even with thick gloves
These days we have thick gloves which can activate a capacitive touch screen.
There's what, about 100 of us still, I imagine most are blocking the ads too.
We create content with strong SEO attributes which will come up on searches and lead to ad impressions from visitors.
You don't even need a diagnosis. If you just go to disabled student services you can tell them you're unable to concentrate blah blah blah
Three wheeled vehicles are bad. Even if they make good the vehicle will be crap. It will also be a deathtrap on US roads with a bunch of completely incompetent idiots driving three ton trucks and SUVs.
Not sure. Just when you think you've found it the line slants up again. But humans have limits and Donald Trump is old. His hey day seems to have been in the 80s and 90s. Now he's slowed down and is taking more naps, plus a bunch of his old friends have died or gone to live in group housing. I suppose you could argue that he's taking dirty old man to new heights in his mind.
You contradict yourself. A product that isn't easy to use or setup in one or two clicks fails in the market. Hence cloud.
Ah, you have a personal definition of "necessity." I'm sure what follows is going to be good.
Enshitification and dumbing down of everything is done because quite frankly most people are frigging useless when it comes to technology.
the more rope you gave idiots
Most products are unfortunately designed for the commoner, not the techie in mind.
Etc.
I always find it quite ironic when "the techies" on here complain about how it's impossible to change the battery in a phone and bitch about problems that can be solved with an ESP32 and a bit of solder (like the one in this story). Guess there are multiple levels of "frigging useless when it comes to technology."
VPNs are pretty hard when you don't know the name or address to connect to.
This time seems to be post-Discovery acquisition pain, and they're going to be selling off a bunch of stuff before they let Netflix acquire the rest. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens to a few more media companies too. They've all been spending money like mad to try and buy streaming customers and also make something they want to watch.
Bullshit. Selling property is selling property. You seem to be distracted by the idea that a corporation is anything other than a group of co-owners. I'm not saying sometimes rights need to be restricted for the common good. They always do. But come out and say it, don't weasel around it with but but corp....
For all their "losses" they were also able to pay down their debt in 2024 with $4.4B in cash flow
WB lost more than $11 billion in 2024, although their debt did go down from $70 billion to a mere $46 billion.
The amount of Trump dick sucking surprises me, too. It certainly felt more intelligent 20 years ago.
Speaking of Trump dick sucking, did you figure out yet if he sucked off a CEO, a president, or a horse yet?
He's just being a typical American MORE BIGGER FASTER tool. I drive an 08 Versa with a 1.8l with 122hp and I have absolutely no problem being one of the fastest people on the road, because even a slow ass car by modern standards can do all the things. I never have trouble getting up to speed on a ramp or whatever.
