I had to laugh at awwshit's comment.

Can you imagine being the one that generates a random wallet in the future, and suddenly you're worth $36 million in 2022 money!?

To me at least, it seems akin to winning the lottery.

I solved the primary problem with a second checking account with my bank. I call that card my "bill paying card" and it is used to pay my monthly bills, and NOTHING else. So my electric bill, gas, car insurance, etc are setup to take from that account, and I never use that card for anything else. In fact, I don't even keep that card in my wallet. It stays home so that if I lose my wallet, it is stolen, I am mugged, etc the card is still safe.

Anything else I ever buy, be it Walmart shopping, getting gas, etc where it will always be a point of sale transaction gets my other card.

Exactly. I'm really not sure how this is supposed to be "new" or "innovative" in a way that makes anyone want to use it. Sure, you can use "that thar newfangled blockchain" but most people don't care how the money is stored, as long as it can be spent. What companies are going to want to use this when there are plenty of other payment methods that are widespread, they work well, and there isn't the risks of things like losing your "wallet" and having no recourse.

This screams of a solution in search of a problem. At least, to me.

So this makes me wonder if people without their Appendix have a different lifespan than those that keep it. I tried to google for the answer, but I came up short. Anyone know of any studies on this subject?

A small number of employees engaging in a given behavior may be those employees trying to game the system.

A large number of employees engaging in a given hbehavior is called a business model.

Plain and simple.

What about loaves of bread? How many loaves of bread have been sold?

I'd call bread a product, certainly sold more than 1 billion loaves over the years. In fact, I'd bet quite a large sum of money far more than 1 billion loaves of bread have been made over the years and sold.

This seems like a desperate attempt to take a big number and wack off to it while claiming Apple is the greatest ever.

Anyone else notice that the "12 month" window to 'upgrade to Windows 10 free' is closing (tomorrow in fact) and so they can now change the behavior and try to act like a poor victim while perhaps posting "1 year adoption rates" much higher than would have been otherwise.

When this crap started I told myself that this will be "rectified" once they have 1 year of Windows 10 being out. Then they can post "their great numbers" which will, naturally include, a lot of accidental upgrades and other people that didn't even want to upgrade.

It really sickens me, and is why I'm still on Windows 7, and dual boot with Linux and FreeBSD. Microsoft's behavior is totally unacceptable.

It's not "reportedly". I can tell you that my M9 that is happily running with Marshmallow works great with my 128GB SD card "formatted as internal storage". Works great. I've had zero problems.

The only downside I can think of is that the SD card is effectively unformatted storage if the phone breaks. Most people store backups and things on their SD card so that if/when their phone breaks they can pop the SD card in the next phone and do a restore. You can't do that when the SD card is formatted as internal storage. :D

If cell phone manufacturers are disabling the feature, that's screwed up and I'd be returning my phone that day. The feature is so useful that I can't imagine not having it now.

I'm not sure how valid your argument is about. Olkiluoto Unit 3 is not in the USA, and the post is clearly discussing issues involving the opinion of Americans. Sure, I won't try to argue that your points about Olkiluoto aren't true (in fact, I haven't tried to verify them) but I can tell you that the issues at Vogtle 3 and 4 are nothing like Olkiluoto's issues.

As someone who may or may not have proprietary knowledge of Vogtle 3's construction and status, I'm inclined not to comment much further. I'll let the reader make their own opinions based on available information on the internet.

But... I am excited to see how Vogtle 3 and 4 are doing.

Care to elaborate on which ones, a link to this info, etc? I've never heard of this and interested in reading more... yet Google searching is turning up very vague information on this topic...

Still glad I'm using my pfsense router.

I have no doubt that there are plenty of devices that suffer from this vulnerability and will never see a firmware update because they'd rather you "buy some shiny new hardware that will not have this vulnerability". Well, guess what? I bought my last 2 routers for that reason, and I shouldn't have to buy a new one every 2 years because the manufacturer went cheap-and-dirty.

What's funny mdsolar is that your last 6 posts (and counting) have been to *this* story, and every single one (except one) is rated a 0, or -1, 1/2 of them are identied as "troll".

The one exception post... the one I just replied to.

Hahaha. Sounds like you got exactly what you deserve for your ignorance.

This sounds too good to be true. And we all know what that means...

So I've got this suspicious feeling that there's some devil in the details that is gonna be a major drawback to this. Anyone got any insight into some key word or tricky phrase that might indicate an ulterior motive?
