yeah I misread the graph to be income at first too before i realized it's net worth
Well if that were to happen, that would be the end of a lot of defense business that the US does with many countries around the world.
Good reminder to also set up something that does this automatically for you:

If they have a working driver since 2 years ago, couldn't they just release it to the community? I imagine most gamers would typically be capable/ok with that.
Re:Some Coinbase customers' PII data stolen on Thursday May 15, 2025 @09:15AM (#43994703)
I wonder what percentage of Coinbase's (but also any other company storing PII data) support is done by AI at this point, and whether they could focus on and invest much more heavily to make that as close as possible to 100%.

For me it's the Marketplace. Left FB many years ago only to come back to keep an eye out for used Lego for the kiddos. At least in my region, and for my purposes, Marketplace is miles better than any other competing sites/apps.
This would explain why mine's been mostly fine since I moved to a place with an underground garage. Now I park 4 floors underground and the battery has only died once in the last two years.
I am 39 and I have had issues with plaque/tartar build up on my bottom front teeth my whole life. Last year my new-ish hygienist gave me a toothbrush and asked me to show her how I brushed the teeth. She saw I was holding the wrong angle and corrected me. The result - night and day difference. ZERO plaque in the last year.
It seems like it should be self explanatory why the FBI would ever do such a thing... (and seemingly on a regular basis) but I don't get it. Could someone please ELI5?
