It does neither, as money is simply a representation of wealth. Increasing the supply of money without increasing the wealth will mean you'll have more money representing the same wealth. This is called inflation. But the wealth, or va

Taking them off the wifi and changing your wifi password seems to be all you need to do. While they are technically capable to look for open wifi, this is not something they do out of the box, as far as my understanding goes.

Not possible. They are part of the chaebol [1], meaning they are essentially part of the South Korean government. They can't really fail as long as the country exists. There's an old joke that South Korea isn't really a count

The Fed is printing them. Just like they print all other money. From the article: > I put in one, and a hundred comes back.” > The figure was rhetorical, not a disclosed 100-times investment return. There's a lot more words in th

What an evil website. Just navigating to it deleted the history, so I couldn't navigate back to hackernews. Ctrl+L wouldn't highlight the navigation bar, either and instead closed the tab.

Large companies move slowly and have lots of red tape. Give it a decade before making this call as far as large companies are concerned. That's how long it takes to change processes.

I recently solved this problem by buying the Dell U5226KW. It has the same height as a 16:9 42" TV, but is 21:9, so a lot wider. It costs about four times as much as a similar sized 16:9 TV and you can't get it any bigger.

You don't need monitoring for that to work. Just something like "Hey, Google". The device knows a bunch of keywords and when it hears them it's bingo. As long as your laptop and phone are logged into the same local netwo

It sells for as little as five bucks in some markets [1] and has done so since at least 2021 [2]. Even the most expensive version is only about twice of that. This makes it a bit difficult to estimate earnings from worldwide sales numbers.

Because it's not mentioned anywhere who posted the images in the first place and which prison he or she is now living in. The complaint in the article is about not taking down the images faster than within an hour.

Can someone explain why the goal is only to remove the images and not go after whoever posted them? You'd think the pool of posters would eventually shrink to zero.

Remember CD spindles? Those are were a quarter of my cables live now. They can be stacked! There's also a few boxes and one tech bag. Also, the 15m (50ft) HDMI cable doesn't fit anywhere so it got it's own space.

You can't sue a bus passenger or people a bus killed. And if there was no driver since the bus drove autonomously, you wouldn't have anyone to sue. I don't understand why this is a problem. Just treat it the same way you do f

Once your collection is built, thirty years down the line, you'll add less than five CDs per year. With streaming however, you'll end up paying a whole lot more than $5000 for the next 30 years, thanks to inflation. If you started

What is the problem with having the answer be the same as when lightning strikes down and kills people or a flood happens? Sometimes damage happens without anyone being responsible.
