Mentioning the hands. The one at the bottom left is just holding a phone and 100% nobody’s in this photo. Also kinda rude by they gave the random lady in the middle the shadow mustache.

Just to elaborate here. You are describing one implementation of a blockchain that provides a cryptocurrency. Blockchain is literally just another form of a database. It’s just that it can contain traits that would allow the database to be shared and distributed unlike typical databases. Currently there are some companies that are utilizing blockchain for their inventory systems. They aren’t using any more energy than they would with a typical system. They are just doing it to keep an unchanging record of past transactions which helps with fraud and loss prevention.

P.S. Money laundering using a system that is publicly distributed and has every transaction involving usd paired with an ID, social security number and enough pictures of your face to make a 3D model is genuinely idiotic.

To add to this. Both parties told all other creators that all music that was made in this dispute would not be subject to copyright claims. So far all claims made from Kendrick’s label have been dropped which has allowed critics to listen freely and even remix and make work from the original work. Drake said the same was going to be the case for what he put out however in typical fashion Ovo/umg has claimed all content that contains any of drakes source material. I’m generally not into this kind of public beef but in basically every regard Kendrick is right and Drake is pretty much the most pure example of everything that is wrong with the music scene today.

Yeah. Maybe not 8.8.8.8. More like 9.9.9.9.

Well that and the made for iPhone program made them apparently 5 billion a year on the lightning cable alone. That’s not just first party. That’s also third party connectors.

I worked cellular retail for 8 years I’ve never really seen fried pins on iPhones. The frayed cables are pretty much inevitable especially if it is apples first party cables. Shockingly I have had contamination in usbc ports though. It caused several devices of mine to no longer charge due to corrosion. Still not sure what exactly caused it but I suppose it was juice from a vape that leaked into the connector. Basically fried my laptop c ports, my iPads port and my pixel’s port. I still think the move to c was pretty necessary.

Only complaint is cables that have contaminants can easily travel between devices now.

Other than that the protocol support is all over the place.

I guess that’s a fair assessment. A counter argument on that statement could be safer due to the smaller user base since it is not as on the radar. Or that the various implementations could be more secure since there are multiple choices in server deployments in a few different languages even. That being said synapse is definitely the most dominant by a wide margin.

How is matrix less secure? If you don’t mind me asking.
