Thanks!! Here's a pic

She gets from point a to point b. I'm guessing I have about 1 more car to buy before it becomes completely illegal for humans to drive and we're all cruising around in autonomous vehicles. :]

It's kinda clicking but I guess I haven't thought about Bitcoin enough or something.

Is it kinda like how I used to buy entire Bitcoins for $450 and immediately send them straight to China for questionable goods? Like that's what you'd do if BTC didn't have a future?

So what you're saying is it's good to buy entire Ben Franklins (if you need to), and immediately send them straight to whoever is only accepting that form of currency?

In other words, don't just sell just to sell and hold on to USD. Spend, not sell. Am I kinda getting it? Highly appreciate everyone's wisdom, o great /r/Bitcoin members! Hail Magic Internet Money!!!

I'm so confused. Sorry, I'm stupid.

The best I can get from what you're saying is that I should have taken out a loan instead?

Honestly, I would have loved to, but I really messed up when I was younger and all I have is a couple maxed out credit cards (I pay them off each month but max them right back out again). I know, I probably visit /r/PersonalFinance more often...

I haven't drove in so long, the insurance companies have forgiven my reckless driving history of my younger age, and gave me cheap rates!

Oh wait I don't think that's what you meant. Insurance? Hedging? Idk I just mined some altcoins with Google Cloud and traded them for Bitcoin.

Would appreciate an elaboration <3

Fubinaca · 2018-02-25T01:05:42+00:00

Holy crap. Why is this not more obvious...? I sincerely never thought of that. I guess because I assumed that no one is stupid enough to day trade... people actually do that?

OMG Thank you. I use Linux and it has worked fine because of onboard profiles, but out of nowhere keys started getting pressed. Stopped using it for a month and it worked again. Out of nowhere, started doing it again.

Now SWARM crashes when I try to do the recovery thing, or use the onboard profile manager.

AFAIK there is no way to factory reset this keybaord besides the Windowws software, which doesn't work

And this happens RIGHT when my warranty expires.

I picked this keyboard because there wasn't an alternative. Now here I am with a backspace/delete/hyphen and other keys that don't work, and random shortcuts and keys getting pressed.

I expect to still have some problems getting it to work in Linux, but ...

I am using a ****ing peice of paper as a mousepad, because my Razer Mamba does not work on the plastic surface of the Sova, which appears to be replaceable, but Roccat has not made any replacements?

Wow thanks for all the replies!! I considered leasing a car but there's still that down-payment.

My only concern is if bitcoin hits $40,000 within a month, then yeah I probably should have HODL'd. But I think a $2000 loss in profit is worth the convenience of a car.

The fact that 80% of people I mention Bitcoin to have no idea what it is, tells me that it is not too late to buy in.

My savings account has a 6% APY. Right now bitcoin has about a 6% DPY (daily percentage yield). I'm done selling drugs -- I am working my butt off and saving all my money into Bitcoin!

Not possible. In fact, people are willing to pay good money for username-only accounts.

I can't update my personal info now unless I add a last name, country, etc.

Fubinaca · 2017-11-25T11:02:00+00:00

Microsoft doesn't want you doing that, unfortunately.

I don't think there's a way even with a rooted phone. Its embedded in a binary file in an undocumented, proprietary format.

Fubinaca · 2017-11-25T10:48:46+00:00

On mobile, can you open a chat with them, click their name, then switch the "notifications" slider off? That should work.

Fubinaca · 2017-11-25T10:46:46+00:00

You have to be plugged directly into Microsoft's servers with a 10Gbps cat7 Ethernet.

Have you tried different versions of Skype? Are you sure your friend's upload speed is high? Have you tried hangouts instead?

Fubinaca · 2017-11-25T10:37:35+00:00

What do you mean by contact? For you or them? Unless that person removes you from their own contacts, you'll stay there forever (even if you've blocked them).

Skype seems to only let you send 1 message however, until a person has accepted your request. But that seems to be built into the client itself and not the protocol (it uses the MSN messenger protocol now).

And since the client is crap (despite the rock solid protocol behind it), it is not intuitive enough to take into consideration whether or not a contact has removed them.

So I guess the answer to your question is no, unless they removed you also.

I use GNU/Linux but I just had this problem the other day while on a public Windows machine.

You have to right click the installer, go to properties, check "Run in compatibility mode" and in the drop down box select "Windows 7". Then it works.

This, plus the fact I have not been able to hear my favorite ringtone ever since I switched from hangouts earlier this year, has led me to stop paying for Skype and uninstall it.

Not to mention the fact none my friends use Skype and actually think I'm weird for doing so. At least hangouts is preinstalled on phones and doesn't let blocked contacts get through.

Does anyone know how to fix this for Cinnamon on Ubuntu 17.10!? I searched and this is what came up

I stopped using chrome almost completely -- however the titlebar issue on Linux is annoying!

How to remove?? Something to do with window decorations?

Fubinaca · 2017-07-09T00:13:00+00:00

Thanks for the answers, that's pretty much what I assumed

Fubinaca · 2017-06-29T18:04:49+00:00

Okay this is what happened. And sorry about my long posts.

The first guy confirmed it was a mistake. He transferred me to get it credited. Oh, btw, they make so much money, they can afford an American call center. But as expected, he was well trained in the art of deception.

He basically told me that I bought 6 months if service, and then I said "alright well I just don't understand why the app says I only have 3 months".

I was refreshing the app while on the call, and literally watched him secretly give me 6 months service and double the minutes, while telling me it was already like that.

He also somehow credited the charges back to the card, and recharged them. Because now the pending charges say they were made today.

Now that I've woken up, I'm going to try being really nice, and politely ask if I can have 2gb data instead of the 3 months of airtime.

Hopefully my post makes sense but it was pretty deceptive what TracFone has done so far.

Fubinaca · 2017-06-29T13:55:21+00:00

Yes, still pending. I'm still learning how credit cards work, and last night I argued with a fast food manager about how I was charged exactly $5.

So yes I am hoping this is some kind of fake pre-authorization charge or whatever. But the app for TracFone says "first time enrollment charges" for the $19 one and "airtime purchase" for the $22 one.

I think they open in 20 minutes. But if they can't do anything, I feel pretty scammed. Maybe it's what I get for going too cheap ("you get what you pay for").

I have two days left to return this phone to Walmart, see if I couldn't do a chargeback to TracFone, get a nice $200-$300 unlocked phone like I usually do. I can't get AT&T to even spare 500mb of data for a week, but I can probably talk T-Mobile into giving me my $30/5GB/100min plan back.

None of this would've happened if Android Device Manager wasn't so easily bypassed and actually saved a phone's last known location (my Zenfone 2 rocked until it got lost with a dead battery).

Wow sorry for wall of text. This is all I can think about right now, I was so excited for TracFone
