The mining isn’t based on transactions, the mining is set to target a 10 minute block time, the difficulty changes based on how much mining capacity there is.

If a block takes less than 10 minutes the difficulty goes up. If it takes more the difficulty goes down.

Each block has a maximum capacity of 2500 transactions, which is why gas is used to prioritize who gets added in a block.

There have been many blocks with zero transactions.

Yes but it’s a human being you don’t have to pay a living wage, or listen to it complain it wants let put of the office to see it’s family.

I use privacy.com, free service, let’s you create a virtual card for each subscription, then pause or cancel a card.

This way if I cancel Netflix I can also pause the card, if they try and bill be it’d be processed as a failed transaction.

Free teir only let’s you make 6 cards / month but after a couple months you should be able to get everything moved over.

(Also cards are locked to the vendor so if the card gets compromised it can’t be used anywhere else)

Same, I wonder if it’ll still function without internet, I’d just get a chromecast key or something on the HDMI. And just not connect the TV itself to the internet.

Granted it probably has some kind of contract that you get charged if you don’t play the ad’s

Some make the argument that batteries are already replaceable if you get the right tools, but it’s not even a matter of making it possible.

I think it’s more about making it so you aren’t voiding your warranty and that the option is there.

Otherwise you replaced your battery and they decide they will never offer any support for your phone because you dared touch it.

Not to say his steps aren’t ones that should be taken, it’s the ways and means that alot of people are taking issue with.

When he took over Twitter it was unprofitable, and the steps he’s taking are ones that would be recommended for alot of struggling startups. But not for a major buisness.

Elon is used to moving quickly and breaking things often, as with a startup it’s fine if there are disruptions for a while or take years to become profitable.

(Messaging from mastodon server) I think so too. Your posts may not follow, but the freedom to move from one server to another, and the freedom to follow posts and info from other servers means if threads wants me to join they’d need make the experience better than anywhere else, or I can leave and still follow anybody I was following before.
