You could let users import their own Google api key...

I have grown up seeing my parents write physical paper cheques.

It's basic life goods and everything is still signed for, tracked and registered. Besides, banks love to collect interest.

Would be strange not to use the Bing crawlers for that.

Just to add some more context, these were used back in the day at chill areas of hacker conferences.

Back then wifi (if available) was not very reliable, and battery tech less advanced. People carried network cables and extension cords in their backpack.

I presume there is some selection bias to take into account here.

Isn't this comparable to the guy in the Ferrari being mad at other drivers because he's in the same traffic jam as the rest or us?

I get where he's coming from, but that doesn't make it reasonable. And certainly not a scam by Ferrari.

Does anyone have an idea of what the retail price might be?

It depends on the qr-code scanner you have on your phone. The one on my android shows a button 'connect to this network'.

In regards to security, you are completely correct. But this is to be used in cases where one would put a paper with the password on the wall, think of coffee shops. Saves some typing. Or you can put a card on your coffee table to help out your house guests.

If there are no other cars, people make them last. They are simple so easy to repair. They don't have many parts, so not much can break.

Well, it wasn't "the record companies" as a whole. The creative nomad player was during the same period and had no such limitations. Sony, being a record company and a hardware company, limited their players in this way. And basically paved the way for other companies to take over the market.

Sad because their walk-man was basically the standard before, and sony makes some good hardware.

An apology used to go a long way... in my perception. Could be wrong of course.

Less affluent users could use a staking pool, where they send some of their eth and get a certain percentage return.

Many crypto-exchanges already offer this service.

Just pull the ends to get it off. Works great, never gets untied.
