When the $1 coins were released, most stuff in vending machines were still within the cost of a dollar. Thought I'm not disagreeing with your comment. Coins, for the most part, are relegated to coin jars and aren't really "spent" in the same way that bills are.
The problem is that coins generally are just so inconvenient. I only hold onto them for the rare occasion where I need to feed a meter.
It's one of the jobs of a bank though. They are supposed to exchange damaged bills and then exchange them with the mint, who then destroys them.
Honestly we need to get rid of the $1 bill generally but that's a completely different post all together.
Which is it?!
This headline came up in my news feed, from a very dubious source so I decided to investigate.
Headline after headline, many from identical sources, about how Walmart and Bank of America are either going to stop taking $1 bills or keep accepting them. The headlines read like a FUD article and I refuse to click through to read the details.
I can't find a reputable news source for this story so I'm assuming it's fake news.
It shouldn't be this easy to manipulate news feeds.
If anything, I'd love a diff of each edit vs the ability to ninja edit
OneDrive is so fucking confusing to administrator.
The files exist on your physical drive ...except it doesn't?
You can't remove the files....except when it does it on its own.
You can't move a file without some sort of synching issue.
You can't fucking disable it without going into the registry!
I legit tried it in the early days of Win10 and it was a nightmare. I literally had to reinstall Windows and disable it upfront before things worked the way I expected.
To paraphrase Nixon:
"When you're a company, it's not illegal."
To paraphrase Trump:
"When you're a company, they just let you do it."
I think a bank should be more complex. If you have all sorts of auto drafts, withdraws, checks, etc. you'll want to make sure you got all of those.
It should absolutely be simpler but I don't mind an extra check for banks where all your money is held.
Services like gyms and Netflix, they don't have any excuse. My life will not be as adversely affected as cancelling a bank account.
Yup. They went full OG AdBlock and got WaPo and other major publications to prevent them from working.
You can mimic what they did by adding the Google Crawler user agent to your browser but I just use archive.is
Oh this 100% is the government backdoor that they've been begging for. "If you can innovate your way into it, you can innovate a way out of it."
That was in regards to Apple phones belonging to Boston bombers being encrypted and locked.
It's no surprise that behind closed doors, the government asked these companies to create backdoors for them to spy on people.
Tbh the exchange is a bit testy. Even if they didn't request it to be removed, I have a feeling it would have gone viral.
But the Streisand effect is going to show the coverup and the juicy parts. It's just....amazing
Thank you but I don't run a Mac. I used to back in the day. I just know how anal Apple is about people using their devices in any way that they don't specifically want you to.
I sort of get it. When you self host mastodon or lemmy, you have to deal with the moderation that comes with it. That's a headache unless you have a ton of free time. Judging by the age distribution, I'm guessing most of us just want things to work so we can do what we enjoy.
fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.
I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.
I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.
Doesn't i2p do something similar to this? I don't know much about it but I remember reading it and thinking that it's like bittorrent but no one person has the entire file, or something like that.
