This is no different than chip+pin for physical purchases. There are still other major areas of fraud that has to be addressed.

It doesn’t cover credit risk-even on a debit card, there can be a “hold” period of an arbitrary amount before the final transaction clears. When you swipe a card at a gas station, they often run a $50 authorization hold on your account.

It also doesn’t cover merchant fraud—- Visa/MC covers you if the merchant doesn’t ship the product because they’re a fake company.

Then there are value-added warranty services that higher end cards offer. These are easily worth the 1%+ fee.

Tesla is just a generation ahead of other EVs. They’re an Apple iPhone and everybody else is the cheap knockoff Android phones from 2011.

Recent article (forgot the link, but I’m sure it’s on google) basically said BMW, VW, and many others are abandoning solid state batteries because of its negligible performance compared to LiFePo4 and regular NMC batteries that are easier to produce and are slowly improving their density and stability.

Correct. You set the microphone as your “speaker” and there’s zero latency.

Cheap alternative: BestBuy sells an Insignia brand external microphone that allows you to connect headphones to it so you can hear your own voice included with the audio signal from the meeting.

Best $35 I’ve ever spent and spouse is happier that I’m not too loud anymore.

Probably some sensors to see what we’re doing with our nuke bases in Montana.

First time, eh? These articles appear twice a week on here.

We’ve made cured nearly all diseases in mice, including baldness, Covid, cancers, heart disease, and now have made them reverse aging and practically immortal.

Very few of those treatments have worked in humans and even fewer have made it into commercial viability.

Don’t fall for the marketing hype. They’re an agency especially looking for U.S. based developers.
