Good advice always has its exceptions. But in general you should never use a work device for personal use because it’s very easy for that information to be either compromised and/or used against you.

My personal guidance is “if you don’t own the device, pretend the owner is looking over your shoulder” it’s incredibly easy for them to install keyloggers and trackers remotely and silently.

Isn’t there a black mirror episode about someone experiencing a terrible fate because of a malfunctioning brain implant that just got FDA approval?

It may depend on the store. My local publix trains it’s employees like Chick-fil-A does, and they probably would be offended if you didn’t let them help you.

The baggers at my local food lion (if there is a single one in the store) are offended that they have to help you at all (probably because they’re expecting you to be the fifth person today to come back in the store demanding a refund for the one cracked egg in their dozen)

You answered it for me. This is exactly what I was thinking.

I’m nearly certain that camper is way over that car’s tow capacity. If so this is dangerous and stupid. Drivers like this, who endanger everyone else even near the road for their inability to use common sense, should be banned from society.

I think it’s funnier if it’s the chicken nugget’s

You don’t matter to the world. You may matter to the small group of people who know you, but odds are you’re insignificant

What does MKBHD have to do with this? He’s just a tech reviewer who kinda fits between tech normie and tech conservative

This guy proves that being smart is not a prerequisite for being rich.

The first time I think it lasted 24 hours (April fool’s day)

The second time (last time) it lasted for three days I think.

We can agree on what the words mean individually, but an NFT is not just some physical item which is unique. NFTs are unique and are only possible to transfer if you have the private key. So saying that your credit card number is an NFT because it’s a token which is non-fungible is missing the point, and being intentionally obtuse.

I’m kinda done with this, we are not going to get any further in this discussion.

It sounds like you don’t know what an NFT is. A credit card isn’t a NFT because there is no private key, it’s only a public token that you hope is securely stored everywhere you put it in. You could put your credit card info on a sketchy website and they could use that exact same information for a purchase with no interaction on your part.

Same exact story with your driver’s license. And the car in Monopoly? What the fuck dude, they’re mass produced identical pieces of metal.

Maybe that’s why you think it’s so great, because you have no idea what is and isn’t an NFT.

And if you have the wrong people, you can max min the experience.

I have yet to see what technical brilliance he has beyond the ability to spend the interest gained on his billions of dollars.

You’re being proven right. You will get downvoted for these statements because a majority are just not factual.

The easiest to explain is NFTs are worthless. They have no legal validity for ownership. The largest portion of the NFT market is buying pictures, pictures which are hosted externally and can be taken down without respect to the NFT contract.

So in the majority use-case you neither have the picture stored, nor have exclusive legal ownership. So you’re buying access to a very fancy, very energy intensive, url link.

That’s not even getting into the politically charged arguments. The whole reason we have child labor laws, minimum wage, and OSHA requirements is because raw, unchecked capitalism was terrible for 99% of people.

Yeah… My comments which were restored were deleted for several days before they started reappearing. That doesn’t sound like a flaw on the scripts, but a flaw on how reddit handles bulk comment deletion.

There could just be no connection at all. Like how there’s a positive correlation between shark attacks and box office sales for Nick Cage movies. There might be some relation between them, but more likely there is no link and it’s just random noise that happens to line up particularly well.

The reason why you might see it used as an end statement is because there is no data or clear logical link between the subjects which were correlated. It’s basically saying “unless you have some reason to believe they’re linked, you should probably assume they’re not”

It’s not just a conspiracy theory that they have restored deleted comments.

I deleted all of my comments twice because they were restored after the “blackout” a few weeks ago, even though they were deleted well before that outage started.

Does lemmy have an equivalent of /r/outside? Because it’s leaking a little.

Perfect control over memory.

So able to remember anything with high detail, but also able to forget the cringey stuff from middle school
