Comment Re:Somehow, real banks manage (Score 1) 56

Technically DeFi is all done on the blockchain and doesn't require KYC. If it does it's to access the interface from another country, there are now services that can do KYC and then record the proof of KYC on your wallet that you do transactions. Then that service can query that hash as proof of verification. Attach a new wallet, and you have to go through the services again.

Comment Sodium Ion? (Score 2) 137

Seems already outdated. The major battery manufactures in China area already looking to move over to sodium ion. It eliminates the needs for cobalt and lithium. It charges faster and works just as well or if not better in cold weather. Plus they would be cheaper once in full production. https://insideevs.com/news/757...

Comment Would make sense. (Score 3, Interesting) 25

I just tried opening a new online store and used Google's own sync tool to sync my items to google shopping and google keeps calling it fraud with no information. There is also no person to contact. I am a small town shop that is just trying to sell my own stuff and not use Amazon marketplace.

Can continue scamming people. The major players in the tax preparing game were caught scamming people by forcing them to upgrade to a paid version if someone clicks on the wrong button just once. Then force them to call or email support to "downgrade" their services. Biden era passed this so those people don't get scammed anymore. How much does it really cost? Of course it's cutting services for us poor pelbs so they can get their rich donors their mega tax breaks before next year.

But the interesting part is that the stems you purchase are marked in each song which then can be tracked. As the songs are sold and traded, royalties will automatically paid back to the original stem producers.

Comment Re:Exploitability? (Score 3, Informative) 22

Exactly. After reading the whitepaper on how it works, the device that needs to be tracked has to be compromised with their client software. The "lost" device then hashes their Bluetooth id, sends it to the malware server and then broadcasts it out to the Find My network as a lost device. Using the server or another device that has decoded the hash with a GPU, you can then get that information from the network and track that device.

Comment Re:Trump (Score 1) 430

My next car will be an EV, but there are a few features that I really want in mine. A major one is the ability to flat tow. I have an RV and would like to take my car with me, EVs can't be flat towed right now or two wheel towed. An amazing feature would be the ability for my EV to help push and slow down my RV, or charge its batteries while I tow it.
