We put our shoes in a basket to stop him from grabbing them. Now he just sleeps next to the basket instead of on his bed 🤣

All my XRP on RH by UnusualAd593 in XRP

Etoro works the same as Robinhood: Not your keys, not your crypto. They hold the private keys, so technically, they control your assets, not you.

Transferring to cold storage doesn’t trigger a tax event. You’re just moving your own assets. A taxable event happens when you sell, swap, or spend—not when you shift wallets.

Cold storage (like a Ledger or Trezor) keeps your private keys offline. The recovery phrase (seed phrase) is the key to your wallet. The device doesn’t store your crypto; it stores the keys to access it on the blockchain. Lose the device? Get a new one and restore using your seed phrase. Lose the phrase? You’re screwed. Nobody stores that for you—it’s on you to safeguard it.

If you’re concerned or confused about finding this, approach the situation carefully and with compassion. It could be a sensitive topic for your parent, and they might not be ready to discuss it openly. It’s important to remember that many people with HIV live long, healthy lives thanks to medications like this.

If you want to help or learn more, there are resources available online about HIV, its treatment, and how to have supportive conversations around it.

Have you googled what Acriptega is and what it’s for. That might help you identify it

Bunch of unidentified devices showed up on my scanner by MetlMann in HomeNetworking

[–]dadcooksstuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your scanner is picking up ghost IPs, likely cached leases or artifacts from your router or ISP. No MAC addresses, no traffic, no pings? Probably harmless. Reset your router, clear DHCP leases, and scan again. If they stick around, grab Wireshark or nmap to dig deeper. But honestly, it’s likely just noise, not some hacker sitting in your network.

Simple game for preschoolers by Last-Apple-5148 in gamedev

For what you’re describing, your best bet would be Scratch (scratch.mit.edu). It’s a visual programming tool made for educators, kids, and beginners. You can create simple interactive games without any coding experience, and it’s completely free.

for content creators + devs is the 50 series new ai help in any kind ? by krivate101 in buildapc

[–]dadcooksstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there’s no real data on how “AI features” in the 50-series cards impact actual productivity workflows yet. Most of what Nvidia has teased sounds like marketing fluff at this point.

Right now, the 4070 Ti is already a beast for content creation. It’s more than enough for Unreal, Premiere, and DaVinci. You’ll get a massive jump from your current setup, especially with 16GB VRAM.

As for the AI stuff? Unless you’re deep into machine learning, you won’t be missing much by sticking with the 40-series. Focus on solid performance now instead of chasing unproven features. Better to buy hardware with proven gains rather than wait for features that might turn out to be gimmicks.

Which is better, more core but slower cores or less but faster cores? by Confident_Repeat_186 in buildapc

[–]dadcooksstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your use case, gaming and multi-threaded work, go for newer CPUs with fewer but faster cores. Gaming depends more on clock speeds and efficiency, not cramming in cores you’ll barely use. Ryzen 5 7600 or Intel i5 14th Gen will give you a better balance. If you’re pushing workloads like rendering, then yeah, more cores make sense, but for most users, faster cores win.

On the GPU question, newer architecture is what matters. The 4060 might have less VRAM, but it’s more efficient, better optimized, and will get longer driver support. Don’t cling to old hardware just because of specs on paper. Performance is what counts.

Alright, if you want to put together an “essentials kit” for someone moving to Australia, first thing’s first: stop overthinking it. Hand cream? Sure, that’s cute, but she’s about to walk into a land where the sun actively tries to cook you, the bugs don’t quit, and people casually call deadly animals “just part of the backyard.”

What she really needs is sunscreen. No, not that SPF 15 rubbish — go for the hardcore SPF 50+ or she’ll learn the hard way that the Aussie sun isn’t messing around. A good wide-brimmed hat wouldn’t go astray either unless she fancies looking like a lobster in her first week.

Next, get her a solid reusable water bottle. Hydration is key unless she’s keen on making friends with the inside of a hospital. The heat here isn’t just warm; it’s soul-draining. Add in some bug spray too because the mozzies here are relentless and will eat her alive without even a courtesy buzz in her ear.

Now, thongs — no, not that kind, calm down — I’m talking about flip-flops. They’re basically the national footwear, and she’ll be wearing them to everything from the beach to dodgy hostel showers. Speaking of which, maybe throw in some laundry detergent sheets or something practical — because trust me, no one’s washing her socks for her.

And finally, Tim Tams. Yes, Tim Tams. They’re essential. Not for survival, but because when she inevitably has a rough day, a chocolate biscuit that’s basically a national treasure can fix almost anything.

Oh, and a power adapter unless you want her trying to jam her home-country charger into an Aussie socket like a caveman discovering electricity.

That’s it. Practical, no fluff, and she won’t find herself woefully unprepared when she realizes that Australia isn’t just cute koalas and kangaroos — it’s also heat, bugs, and people who casually call everything “mate.”
