Google Pixel 9 Pro 2 years ago

This happened to my mom too. She told me she can't do any more photos because her storage is full. So I checked her android phone a and somehow the cloud backup got activated (we explicitly turned that off!!) and our family photos were uploaded to google cloud..

I hate google so much for doing this.

Meta Horizon OS 2 years ago

FOSS everything or go home. I am not buying into closed VR ecosystem. Not Apple, not Meta, not anything else that is trying to lock me in.

I think this would be a hard sell - "hey, let us migrate platforms so we can rewrite our entire production infrastructure "

Also "Oh and we need to hire two full time devops engineers to take care of the thing" :)

All the solutions I mentioned do exists and are used daily by thousands. And no, atms are indeed not the place to exchange bitcoin for stablecoins.

There are some ways how you can solve this. You can convert to and from stablecoins. You can use hedging and use cfd or futures to keep your bitcoin on stable fiat value. Depending on what you need, this can be done on exchange, with some payment gateway or even trustlessly via smart contracts.

I agree that this is still a challenge that needs to be solved in better ways. There are some solutions possible. For example OpenBazaar used 2-of-3 multisig escrow. Bisq is using security deposits, limits and reputation. For some large transactions there are legal escrow services. But for small regular transactions with most merchants, there is no good standardized solution so far. You just have to do your research about about the counterparty and trust the merchant as far as transaction goes.
