This time around there are hardware requirements. Corporations equipment is not usually the latest hardware, and windows 11 is pushing customers to buy new hardware.

I suppose for many corporations upgrading to windows 11 would also mean upgrading the computer, which is an increase cost.

I can’t wait for massive security problems on corporations once they shut down W10 support and those corporation considering if keeping with windows is woth the risk and the cost anymore.

Finally I don’t need my computer for working, they provided us with company laptops, so I don’t need to worry about compatibility and windows only programs anymore.

So you know what I’m going to do once windows 10 reaches eol.

For my it will certainly be the year of desktop linux.

Reason number #99 to make the switch to linux.

And what happens if the government needs that money and Bitcoin price is down?

I don’t see how putting national reserves on such an inestable “asset” would be a good idea.

To be fair current age verification is useless. We all know clicking a button does not verify anything.

Also we know that submitting personal data to a website to verify your age is terrible. Big no no.

I’m curious of what will happen in my country. Here in Spain government said that they will implement a new age verification system using Anonymous digital certificates. The government will issue those and you have to give your ID but the certificate itself it’s anonymous and the website won’t be able to know who is the person behind the certificate. While there’s no implementation yet, I hope they use the kind of anonymous certificates that, once expedited, the government also does not know who is using the certificate when serving as a certificate authority to validate its authenticity.

Let’s see how it goes. I’m afraid even while being privacy friendly with this system Pornhub will block access here to as a threat to other places. At the end is a private company and blocking minors from accessing their content cost them big money, and, of course, money is the only thing that matters to them.

I’m using jellyfin and it just works fine.

There are others more specialized in music. But I kind of like only having to use one service for all my media.

Is it not a way in which some governments could collaborate to end this Bitcoin madness?

Genuinely question.

Like maybe some big countries could agree to collaborate and join resources to make a 51% attack and bring Bitcoin price to 0 so people stop wasting resources on it.

2% of enery usage for something that do not add any value to society is INSANE.

Big Ubisoft vibes.

Imagine being subscribed to a shop. Wtf?

Transactions are public. But wallet ownership is not.

That’s why it’s widely used in cybercrime. You can make a wallet and authorities may know which wallet receibe the money, but it may be imposible to link that wallet with an actual person.

The didn’t buy Twitter for a profit.

He bought Twitter to destroy it because big free horizontal communication platforms are bad for billionaires.

He can’t just close it, so he just destroy it little by little until it is no more.

The same way conservative groups bought Tumblr because it was too sexual liberating for their conservative views.
