Seen your meme during my lunch break doom scrolling on another site. Happy to see you are here on lemmy too!

Nice list. I chuckled at the fact that the bitcoin section does not recommend bitcoin :) We’re also here on lemmy, if you ever need help or just want to say hi

Fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to type it out

It’s worth it for the dry storage and automatic loading alone. Printing multiple objects one after another on the same bed and same print job, but with different materials is also a great feature and huge time saver for small parts. For actual multi-material prints the best use cases are imo writing into the first layer with a different color or using 2 different non-adhering materials for a thin layer between supports and the part. All of these things require very little filament changes and significantly improve the usage experience.

“Here anon, take this”

You are probably right, and I hate it.

Essential consumer goods have huge markets, and have few differentiating factors. Both of these things are beneficial for mass production, which lowers the cost so much that small business are driven out of the market. And the small business that remain often only resell mass produced goods. Even though WE want essential goods available for Monero, I think it offers buisiness too little advantage in a highly competitive market and the effort required plus legal uncertainty may even drag them down.

If you want Monero adoption, ask yourself: Why would you want to receive XMR instead of cold hard cash for your work and/or goods? The obvious answer should be: Because you can use it for things you can not use cash for! Yeah people of course thing “duh we got the darkweb” and while that’s true the market is way beyond early adopter stage and does not really require our attention. I do like to market for internet services (email, vpn, vps, sms verification etc) because it’s such an obvious yet still niche use case. It’s also a low value way to spend donated money on your foss projects or whatever you do.

Personally I think good markets would be anything that is not illegal, but people still don’t want anyone else to know about. If you could pay for tax consultants, lawyers, psychiatrists and similar professions anonymously, I’d bet some people would be willing to pay extra and go out of their way to acquire XMR. And once you can’t trade for fiat anymore, the best way to get some would be to earn by offering more generic things.

Yes, in the end it’s a hen and egg problem. But I really do believe the least uphill battle is going the “exclusive for XMR” route.

There are plenty of tradesmen working on weekends without reporting it to tax authorities. Common in cities, practically the norm in rural areas. Time spend working doesn’t leave a paper trail and whoever hired them can buy all the materials for “personal use”. Farmers do need to buy supplies, but unless they have John Deer equipment, the harvest amount will not be automatically counted, and it’s trivial to sell some part of it on non-official markets.

I think it all hinges on how fast people get used to using monero “for real” and not only to buy some merch or for other meme purposes. When regulations come down, the people who will be hit the hardest are those bridging between fiat and xmr, because their banking activity can be moderately easy controlled.

LPCAMM seems more useful overall as a product.

Only if you need 2-4 sticks, otherwise they take up too much PCB space. Look at servers and how a good chunk of their volume is filled with dozens of sticks. You cant simply lay them down flat.

Man this job posting is worse then all the garbage that companies put out. There will be very few people who tolerate KYC for non-paying volunteer internet janny job - and those who do should probably never be mods. Good luck tho, you’ll need it.

LPCAMM may have better specs, but DIMM requires a smaller area on the PCB and can make better use of the vertical space.

I’m not suggesting to pay one euro each month, I’m suggesting that you treat your lemmy instance as a 12 euro per year subscription. Compared to literally every other service it is basically free.

It’s not even expensive. A single euro monthly per user is more then enough to keep instances running

nonkyc.io requires javascript to run, which is suspicious considering the purpose of the site

Oh man all the party poopers in the comments. These memes are funny instead of the usual preachy content - doesn’t matter if its slightly inaccurate

I have used them back when they cost 3.5€/mo instead of the 5€/mo you pay for mullvad or ivpn. Gave them a try specifically because the support XMR, and it worked flawlessly for each of the 5 (?) payments I made. Service is fine, no complaints, but the desktop app is shit. Can’t easily configure local bypass which is supported by mullvad/ivpn. At the new pricing their offer doesn’t really make sense anymore.

Absolutely.

A slight heating is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. A microwave is fine tuned to heat food, or more precisely the water within. Other materials such as the glass on the back of the phone also absorb some energy, but only a tiny fraction.

People joke about this all the time, and I here the sarcasm in your comment, but technology has come far since the iphone 6 or 7.

Most high end phones have wireless charging build it. Between the receiver coil and the rest of the phone is a thin sheet of ferrite material to prevent the electromagnetic field from getting to the sensitive electronics. Battery technology has also improved a lot, so much that even relatively cheap phones like the Realme GT Neo 5 charge at 150W!

From the technical perspective the limit is the cable and connector, because there would be too much losses that heat up the cable to dangerous levels and rapidly degrade the contact area in the connectors. Manufacturers don’t want to deal with this security risk, not the increased RMA rates within the mandated guarantee period, so they artificially limit the charging rate.

Thing is: You absolutely can charge at higher speeds if you bypass the cable altogether! A microwave outputs usually somewhere between 150W-1000W, so stick to the lower end to be on the safe side. The screen of the phone must face down, because the charging coil is placed on the back. You also must prevent overcharging by setting the timer correctly: If your phone battery has 15Wh capacity, and you are charging with 150W, you must at most charge for 1/10 of an hour, or 6 minutes (less if you are just topping up your phone).

One final note: fast charging does put increased wear on the battery, so I only recommend to use it when you need it, for example when you need to make a flight and are already running late.
