The biggest benefit is it gives you something to tinker with!
I’m really interested in the Flipper Zero, for your use was it capturing specific encoding or raw data?
For the fan - I like having it turn on in the late afternoon to freshen up the air in the bedroom.
I also really like automatically adjusting the brightness/color temperature of all our lights during the day.
It’s by no means necessary, but I don’t want to go back now.
I forgot to mention I used URH, it’s such a good tool. Very approachable for something so specialized.

I think most likely is that the fraud team flagged the account and deactivated it, and there's no process internally to stop that so SVP guy couldn't do anything.
Sort of like the Google account issue where employees can't internally appeal to stop account suspensions.
Three things I love about USB-C
1. Charging is like 90% of what I use cables for, and I can just have the same cable for everything
2. USB-C displays are fantastic, one cable to my MacBook that handles charging, display output, USB-A ports etc
3. The only time I ever use USB-C ports for anything other than charging is from my MacBook, and so far every adapter/display etc has just worked
I could be wrong - but I believe Nvidia bins the chips for Founders Edition cards
I don't want to sound like a narc, but it seems like a really good idea to have some degree of oversight and safeguards on financial transactions of that magnitude.
This seems like a remarkably small team for the scale of what they're building! For some reason I imagined they'd have legions of engineers.
They really timed that well
"G2A couldn’t come to terms with those large firms and just did the audit themselves"
That's not an audit, it's just deep introspection

I honestly would be less frustrated if their ads weren't so obnoxious and ugly. Animated ads in the middle of an article are the absolute worst.
One of the few things I use my Apple Card for is online subscriptions. One click in the app and you change your card number immediately!
I always get really nervous every time I see the words "homemade" and "laser" in the same sentence.
I had to take a laser safety workshop in college and the stories of accidental blindings still haunt me. Those were from people who worked with lasers for a living, so god knows what people messing around with them in their garage can do.

Article aside - that LaTeX theme is dope
Ok, now do all other generics that are cheap to manufacture.
This is literally the plot line from I Am Legend

I've seen this said before (I forget from who), but I honestly think that over the next few decades meat is going to go through a similar transition to tobacco.
I don't think it's ever going to disappear completely, but I think it's going to become something most people only enjoy once in a while if at all. I also think that meat consumption is going to be viewed in a significantly more negative light over time.
For my work laptop, I use a single ~/Workspace directory, with ./GitHub, ./Local, and ./Personal within that.
All of my non-code stuff is in misc. app-specific cloud services: Google Drive for work stuff, Ulysses for personal notes/writing, Things for tasks etc. I also use KeepIt for bookmarks, which I really recommend.
I've spent an inordinate amount of time in my life trying to over-engineer my productivity with new apps, tools, or systems that I never end up using.
Some general tips:
- Don't try to solve problems you don't have yet.
- Keep it simple.
