Uhm, yeah, people made the wrong bet because they fell for another hyped up tech company.
But let's put a fine point on it -- that specifically fell in with a rent-seeking company capitalizing on a decentralizaed space with a centralized platform and then surprise-pikachu'd when they did the same thing as every one before them.

Weew, well, idk, if y'all know this, and I'll take the karma hit, but the rest of us that know better than to day trade mostly roll their eyes at this ... crap. And if you WERE "day trading" and didn't manage to pull out, well, maybe day trading isn't in your cards. Go watch YT for a few hours and I'm sure youll be on to your next get rich scheme.

I laughed, hard. Bravo to you.
To be charitable, some people may only be able to afford a normal lifestyle though a successful "get-rich quick" scheme. Think insane markets like Toronto and Vancouver that are flooded with laundered money; how are you going to make enough money for a home without making a YOLO-style bet on something you don't understand (but is portrayed to work for rich people)?
I think far less people would be taken by these scams if their basic needs were more easily paid for.
(Disclaimer: I own zero Crypto, have never owned any Crypto)
Oh, oh dear. Um, that was sarcasm. I clearly don't think people should be looking for get rich schemes, on yt or otherwise. It was aimed at the people that think day trading, lottery tickets, or otherwise longshots are a logical response to a hostile market.
Its hard to think of any scam that isn't portrayed as "working out (for the (would be) rich)". Again, a good reason to be wary of such things.
I'm totally in favor of helping struggling folks, taking care of basic needs, etc (though I'm not sure laundered money is the culprit I'd offer). But lord maybe some reasoning skills would also do some wonders. Also, Christ, it pains me how often I think "if only I could sleep with myself stealing money from fools". Because I do know you're right, that's the psychology of why get rich schemes work...
If you have your money invested in some safe government treasuries with a broker you think you can trust until one day you find out to the surprise of both you and the entire financial system that the broker you're keep your government treasuries with are using them as collateral to fund bunch of risky crap they weren't telling you about. Sure you've lost everything but I mean you could have brought the treasuries directly from the government and held them yourself, right?
I highly doubt most people with crypto on FTX were day trading. My guess is most just held their crypto with FTX because like stocks and bonds it's generally easier to hold them with a broker.
The same argument could be made about cash in the bank. Do you keep all your money in cash under your bed or do you trust your bank isn't going to do illegal crap with it? Oh wait, let me guess, I bet you're day trading your cash for food and shelter instead of keeping it locked in a safe buried 10 feet under ground?
My point is in any normal market the government would have stepped in if this were to happen. Crypto investors deserve similar protections as investors in other asset classes. They also deserve our sympathy. These weren't the degenerate gamblers you're paining them as.
I don't get it, other than the Apple-y-ness of it all? Maybe that's not important but ... ?
Every single thing I own and need to function on a daily basis (other than my immersion water boiler for otg-espresso) operates on USB. Preferably type-c, but plenty of things still need a USB-A-to-C in the mix because resistors are hard, I guess.
Also, open hardware hackers,, my trimmer and touthbrush are basically internally identical. An we please make these inter hangeable?
Using a "thin-client" laptop with cheap default
-cafe alliances d chesap ones means I can live out of a bag, using redundant chargers - either a tiny 45w charger that literally fits in my bu^H^H pocket, or charge my laptop, phone and Ledger using a 100W charger that is barely more than double the physical-size of the smaller charger.
Well, no, you don't chain-load Windows from grub either because then PCR are wrong and Bit Locker rightly complains.
Which is why you... Just use the system boot manager to pick which loader to load. Easy, problem solved.
And you can edit the system boot manager entries from Linux and Windows, set bootnext from either one. It's really strictly superior to what you're describing.
Yeah I don't get how Linux is running on the Thinkpad and openbsd was able to boot but a device trees is the blocker for Linux? Are they just on some distro that doesn't have the new kernel packaged?
Oh, it's because of "APCI" mode working with openbsd apparently...
The upstreamed Qualcomm drivers in the Linux kernel require a device tree from the vendor which doesn't exist yet for this machine, I believe the Linux community has something cobbled together for the ThinkPad x13s, or got something from Lenovo.
> Oh, it's because of "APCI" mode working with openbsd apparently...
Indeed, OpenBSD attempts to support these machines to some extent in ACPI mode, but from what I read the ACPI tables are in bad shape/incomplete. "Good enough for Windows, ship it.".
> but from what I read the ACPI tables are in bad shape/incomplete. "Good enough for Windows, ship it.".
It is a bit more nuanced than this. Qualcomm ships a giant custom (mandatory, most the platform will not even work without it!) driver stack on Windows and uses ACPI definitions more than most x86 platform vendors, to the extent that it even exposed a bug in the Windows ACPI implementation when an ACPI method return buffer would exceed 64 kB so since this generation of SoC a lot of the Windows drivers instead bundle their own 'subset' of certain ACPI buffers and the main DSDT is empty as a result.
Linux on ARM still doesn't really use ACPI except where forces more influential than Qualcomm managed (e.g. SBSA?) so even downstream Linux kernels for Qualcomm still use DT.
Appreciate the additional context. It does seem like though a lot of magic is contained in the Qualcomm Windows drivers, with large parts of the ACPI tables being stubs or broken (requiring hardcoded driver quirks/workarounds).
"Password Store" ('pass' compatible) for Android also supports TOTP to tokens and Gpg encryption.
With Syncthing, 'gopass' and 'Android Password Store', I have a fully open source, very easy to reason about fully in my control, password and totp storage, accessible on all my devices. All of which can only be accessed with my Yubikey that I keep in my pocket and my GPG PIN.
I think you'd be shocked how much of my NixOS system not only natively compiles for my Vision Five but also cross compiles to it... (and Nixpkgs cross compiling support has room to improve, so..)
Obviously a monorepo of largely FOSS is easier to deal with than random Android apps but I don't think it's that dire or insurmountable.
Signs so far point to a big fat no (as someone running a custom uboot build on visionfive that works better than the bsp from manufacturer). Plenty of blobs, still device trees, etc.
