Reply to LPT Request: how to mail a money to my landlord with absolute proof that money was delivered? by AethericEye
A technically correct answer would be - blockchain / cryptocurrency. It is a traceable ledger of transactions.
But easier / more practical / more stable is to do a bank transfer to his bank account.

Sure, but as someone wrote in the other comment, even SSD stores multiple voltages per cell to increase storage capacity.

Without that you would never have ADSL or 4G or wifi. Instead of sending 1 bit at the time over the wire, the "bit" can have 64 states, representing 6 bits at a time - a 6-fold increase in bandwidth.

Sure there is - more storage, or more bandwidth.

Pffft, what an amateur. Everyone knows you hide the mining rig in the server room.

Reply to LPT: If driving in a snowstorm and your GPS suggests taking a faster route, don’t do it if it takes you off the Highway. Backroads are usually last to be cleared of snow and you could get stuck! by Bradiator34
This is true. I had this happen once in Germany - the Autobahn slowed down due to heavy snow and I got diverted to local roads … bad idea.

Reply to comment by ryuundo in What kind of instrument do you think adds a lot to a songs vibe? by ryuundo
Yes, because it’s rotating inside the cabinet. Very simple way of adding weird phase effects.
