None that I’m aware of. I guess it’s possible, but I have not seen it be the case yet.

Edit: I can tell you for a fact that the ones I’m listing are legitimate. And if you don’t believe me, try purchasing one with the multi-signature escrow.

It’s also used to buy baking pans, dove soap, coffee makers, and toasters. Xmrbazaar.com

Firefox gets tons of funding from Google, and their code is quite frankly humongous. From what I understand, it’s extremely hard to get the gecko web view engine to work. In another browser, unless it’s a fork of Firefox, unlike Chromium where you can just redesign an entire browser around it.

Fair enough, there’s some really golden information in this thread.

What about those military things that they use to disperse crowds? Where it makes you feel like your skin is cooking, but it’s actually not. I feel like that uses high power and high frequency radio waves to accomplish that.

The higher the frequency, the worse that is. So standing very close to an HF antenna that only broadcasts up to like say 30 megahertz is different than standing next to a 700 megahertz cell phone antenna, which is different from standing next to a 2.5 gigahertz cell phone antenna. The reasoning for that is due to power levels and wavelength of the radio signal itself.

You know, that’s a good point. I didn’t even think of that. But you’re right.

Also, they will lose. The FCC has said that the companies can build towers where they are needed for coverage. They might have to make it look like a tree or something, but they cannot be rejected from building it.

I actually prefer to buy mid range phones that are brand new instead of buying phones that are a few generations old just because I know that with a new device the battery is new and I treat my batteries very well like only charging to 80% and so on. So I’m a lot more likely to buy like the Pixel A series or like the Motorola G series and such than I am to buy the latest Pixel flagship or whatever.

Yeah, that one is beyond me as well.

Sprint would have failed without the merger and we would have had three carriers anyway so it doesn’t matter whether they merged or not and in fact it’s probably better that they did because it caused T-Mobile’s service to improve dramatically since then. I knew friends who had T-Mobile back in 2012 and it was a joke. I had T-Mobile in 2016 and it was only okay.

Hey, that’s an awesome setup.

So much more efficient then.

Oh, gotcha. So crypto mining is bad, because he can’t make money off of it. But AI is just fine, because he can make tons of money off of it. I understand now. Makes perfect sense.

Which is why I’ve been buying nothing except OEM unlocked devices since 2016 I Payful price for them, but I don’t have to worry about leaving my carrier Whenever I want and I don’t have to be on extremely expensive cell phone plans either. There is nobody else in my entire life that pays less for cell phone service than I do and I only know one person who pays the exact same and that’s because we are on the same plan on our own accounts. Literally, everybody I know in my life pays about four times what I do for cell phone service.

Well, for 20 years we had one space station and now with China we have two and if we eventually start to get commercial stations then we’ll start to have even more so more people will be able to go up.

Well, I can’t help you with the fact that you don’t have a whole lot of money to begin with, but as far as the fees and regulations and currency issues, Monero would solve that.

I donate sometimes with monero

Actually, I used one of those 5G home internet plans when I used to live in an apartment and they kept raising my rates on God awfully bad cable. And so I told them to shove it. It actually worked out really well. I was a little bit surprised because I had heard that wireless ISPs were not very good.

Yeah, I do that with my lemmy app. Like, all I’ve got to do is pull out my phone and swipe one finger to the left on my display, and then I have lemmy.
