Well nowadays she's a 22 year old woman

How old was she when the whole Greta hate started all those years ago? Grown ass men dunking on a literal schoolgirl who had more integrity and intelligence than any of them.

I hope she enjoys the Mini! Though at this point that's a fairly modern car. 15 years old is 2010 and many of those allow retrofitting factory options for sound. I'm looking to get Carplay in my brand new 18 year old German shitbox that's both falling apart and in excellent shape at the same time. Mr12volt has kits for a lot of those, but sadly no Minis.

Things are slowly starting to get better in a lot of the fields I interface with.

Payroll and accounting software? Many great browser-based offerings. Unfortunately that also means the backend is running in the developer's servers, but these applications were generally proprietary to begin with.

EMR company I've done a lot of work with (used to be an engineer there), has essentially halted progress on their Windows-only native client (and it was DEEPLY entrenched in Windows) and is now browser based, retaining 99% of functionality. This one always connected to a proprietary backend anyway.

Own a VW, Audi, Seat, Škoda, Bentley or Lamborghini (depending on model year for some of those)? The popular 3rd party diagnostic software for those, called VCDS, now has a mobile variant if you buy the wireless dongle instead of the cable - it runs a server in the dongle itself that you connect to via wifi, and it displays the sofware as a website. Of course it's available for non-mobile browsers too.

Common theme among all of these is that none need to do heavy data processing on the client - though nowadays that is also solvable using WASM.

My culture is a very dominant culture, and it's imposing and it's causing problems. If you don't do something about it, you're going to have taco trucks on every corner.

Tell me you hate your own culture without telling me you hate your own culture.

I'm assuming you've moved on, but if not, there are FM transmitters for when you want music or navigation instructions from your phone to play over the vehicle's speakers. Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack ones are both available.

Like I said, mild right winger.

The standard these days is just faaaaar more to the right unfortunately.

Might be that the only one that gets any fresh air into their office is the one closest to the smoker.

I mean if I found a wallet with a million euros worth of bitcoin, I'd sell half and keep half. If it rises significantly, sell half of the remainder. And so on.

If I found a wallet with like 5k worth of BTC on it though? Just sell it all right away, it'll do more for me now than say 10k in 5 years which is an insane long term return tbf.

Not everyone has decent ventilation.

I do hope you're being real careful with your opsec if anonymity is important to you. Generally speaking, more people will know who paid who with crypto compared to bank transfers. Chains like Monero are an exception of course and yes, there are ways to anonymize other wallets too, but it requires a great deal of care, more than I personally trust myself.

You've got a valid point for the card payments where there are huge fees the merchant has to pay (nearly 2% for many I think), but bank transfers are infinitely cheaper (free) and instant, compared to paying gas fees and waiting. Obviously this is not true for all banking systems yet, but it's getting there.

I guess people don't have a lot of money to spend on movies so when they go, they go for a safe choice. Personally I haven't seen any of these remakes in theatres, only go watch a big franchise if it's something I really enjoy (I absolutely am going to go watch Mission Impossible even though it's the gazillionth movie) or something new entirely. I actually enjoyed in the lost lands even though it was far from perfect.
