At that price point, I would be looking for pre-owned iPhones. Why iphone? Because they keep updating their software longer than any other manufacturer.

I have 21 crowns plus a partial in my mouth, being this shit on!

And as soon as he created Facebook, he used it to spy on his fellow students without their consent.

I mean, that’s just happening in your head, we hate the Russian government and the subset of the Russian people who support it. Hating some rando for being Russian is still wrong.

You’ve never heard of people responding to rule breaking with rule breaking of their own? Your assertion that it has no military advantage is flat out wrong, this attack has a military advantage. It brings the fight closer to Putin and requires them to divert forces. It also makes the Russian people more likely to revolt against the war.

Are you like an anti-historian or are you just trying to be uselessly hyperbolic?

The only people who know why the target was chosen are probably not hanging out on Lemmy.

But really there’s no reason whatsoever to put restrictions on the smaller weaker country who is being invaded. War is hell. Russian civilians can rise up against Putin if they don’t feel safe in their own country. 100% of this is on Putin.

No, it doesn’t work like that at all. The difference is in the demand. You go to your bank and you demand the money in your account and you get it, simple as that. You can’t do that with debt. Me owing you a dollar doesn’t mean you have a dollar to spend. Ease of collection is literally the most important aspect of what we’re discussing.

Think about it this way, if I’m going after your money, do I sue you, or do I sue the bank?

It’s funny you mentioned bailment, the bank is absolutely required to keep enough cash on hand in order to satisfy what the FDIC deems to be a reasonable amount of coverage for their deposit accounts. (search “demand deposit account”)

You own the money in your account, simple as that for individual accounts.

Former banker here. You’re just fucking wrong about that. You’ve said zero true things.

So you’re one of his dupes, got it.

That might be your bank. My bank is as annoying as you describe, but it is as secure as you’re saying it should be. 2FA, they hold up suspicious purchases to see if it’s really me, I can lock and unlock my cards from the app. Smaller banks tend to be the way to go, or credit unions if you have a good one nearby.

All those disclaimers are out there for liability purposes. It is highly unlikely that you will brick your phone as long as you follow the instructions and avoid making any modifications to the way the hardware runs (do not overclock, do not underclock etc).

I would say it’s more like when a bunch of friends collectively break up with toxic partners and have a big meeting to talk about it. It’ll die down after a while. People on Reddit don’t really talk about Digg anymore.

Having read the book, if you read it for that purpose, it would work, it just uses playing pool as a medium for that.

Yeah, I did download a few SW engineering books, but I haven’t gotten to them. I’ve been reading Chris Hadfields books, the Apollo Murders and and Astronauts guide to life on Earth, a few cooking books like The Food Lab, The Wok, Salt Fat Acid and Heat, Mi Cochina, and some books on playing pool like The Pleasures of Small Motions.

You joke, but Reddit did something to piss me off a few months before the current fuckery, and I decided to find an alt and there weren’t really any, like I found Mastodon but that’s more of a Twitter replacement, never encountered this site while searching. What I ended up doing was downloading a bunch of books and putting them on my phone, then putting the books app where my Apollo app used to be on my homescreen. Now, more often than not, when I go to scroll, I end up just opening a book. I’ve got a little over 40 on there, they keep my progress, even across devices, and they work when there’s no signal so I no longer have to fear public toilets with shitty cell signal lol.

I ran a crack on Apollo, so I’m still using it for now, but I will never use Reddit in a way that gives them ad revenue.

pseudo-profound bullshit

That sounds like every single public statement he’s ever made.
