Speednet··on Cryptoland [video]
I don't think I'd be so gentle. It is one of the most cringe-worthy things I've seen in quite some time. Makes the crypto space seem like it's entirely inhabited by morons and fools.
Speednet··on Bitcoin Failed in El Salvador. The President Says the Answer Is More Bitcoin
Globalists desire that everyone conform to one system... of everything. They are against local systems and control. Bitcoin is antithetical to their line of thinking. In the financial world, Janet Yellen is a great example of a globalist. Can you imagine Janet Yellen ever supporting Bitcoin? I certainly can't.
Speednet··on Bitcoin Failed in El Salvador. The President Says the Answer Is More Bitcoin
Holy mackerel, you're actually going to twist my statement and say it's anti-semitic. What a jerk you are. I am being kind to you; what I'm thinking is quite worse.
Speednet··on Bitcoin Failed in El Salvador. The President Says the Answer Is More Bitcoin
Ah, the technique of distracting from the point by bringing in an irrelevant point that cannot be debunked. Nice try.
Speednet··on Vector Games 32c3
To see Tempest being discussed again after all these years is awesome. I have fond memories of playing that game in the arcade.
Speednet··on Firefox 85
Rest In Peace in peace Flash
Speednet··on BitLocker Lockscreen Bypass
But this article is about bypassing Bitlocker, so that's not relevant. Also, if a system is unencrypted there are a multitude of ways to easily read the contents. That goes for any device or operating system.
Speednet··on Poland plans to make censoring of social media accounts illegal
Thank you synnejye, you have hit the nail on the head.
Speednet··on Tether price manipulation
I can see I've been downvoted. I must have made a mistake. Bitcoin prices are actually tied to Elon Musk's rising wealth, not SpaceX launches.
Speednet··on Tether price manipulation
What a ridiculous Twitter thread showing absolutely no causality between Tether and Bitcoin. You might as well show that SpaceX rocket launches coincide with a rise in Bitcoin prices.

There was a successful SpaceX launch yesterday, and Bitcoin went over $40,000 for the first time. In 2020, SpaceX had its best year ever for successful launches and returns of the first stage, perfectly coinciding with Bitcoin's meteoric rise in value. So Bitcoin must be tied to successful SpaceX launches.

Speednet··on Apple MacBook Pro 13” M1 Review- Why You Might Want to Pass
Lots of back-and-forth on specs and compatibility, yet somehow the complete lack of privacy outed last week has suddenly vanished from the discussion. There might be something to that "Apple-Chosen Reviewer" thing. Perhaps Apple's best technology is the one that mutes all their shifty acts.
Speednet··on When 13.3 is greater than 14
>> Microsoft is starting to make some really good machines like the Surface Laptop 3 (3:2)...alas with abysmal Linux support.

Well, except for the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in Windows 10.

Also, "starting" to make? Someone's spending too much time on Apple computers to realize what's been happening the past several years.

Speednet··on Nvidia to Acquire Arm for $40B
Wait - it was OK when ARM was owned by a Japanese company, but suddenly bad when a US company buys them? Being anti-US is not a legitimate point. If anything, nVidia will create new market opportunities and expand existing ones for ARM. They have already said they will be expanding their UK presence. Maybe don't react so emotionally next time.
