in all seriousness tho, the absurdity of the coldcard fiasco hit me so hard as im pulling out this fucking LARP of a device, with all of its security theater features, to replace all of my multisig keys that were evidently as invasion proof as a waxed anus at a gay bar
oh good, if need be I can activate my forty five layer duress pin system or fucking shoot the secure element with a gun if im attacked by masked bandits or apprehended by a totalitarian state, and my cumbersome air gapped operation with a 9V battery keeps it safe from the fucking cia wiretapping my usb cables
all of this to keep the fucking 10 bit seed safe because the single most important thing for a wallet to do - the absolute most critical and vulnerable single point of failure in all of crypto - was as secure as a screen door on a submarine
if there was ever a perfect goddamn summation for all of the LARPatarian retarded plebslop podcaster nonsense that pollutes this space, it’s the fucking cold card
you are not a spy or a revolutionary; you are a fat stupid larp who read one book by an Austrian when you were 16, and now you listen to podcasts and pay for twitter
you are the cold card and the cold card is you: very serious in the front, unsophisticated technologically and financially illiterate hillbilly in the back
the mullet of hardware wallets

Been living in New York City for 5 years after spending my life in California.
Love the energy here, and we’re making it home.
But the contrast in weather has been shocking, and I’m dreading the long stretch of endless cold weather that’s just around the corner.
There’s no question that the quality of life is better in California, and anyone who thinks differently has either not lived on both coasts, or lying to themselves.
Trump doesn't seem to understand that houses are primarily real assets not financial ones.
The financialization of housing only benefits the wealthier class.
His job of president is to protect the interests of all 'classes'... or socio-economic groups.
This is not rocket science.
Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Everything MPU posts about data centers is complete garbage. They have zero respect for their audience. Literally no one here is losing power. This tweet is a complete lie.
What's actually happening is that a supply contract between two utilities is ending, and the small one is just buying power from elsewhere, and this was all expected to happen since 2009.
The company that serves homes on the California side of Lake Tahoe is a small utility called Liberty. Liberty buys about 75% of its electricity from a much larger utility, NV Energy in Nevada, and generates the other 25% itself from solar farms it owns. Liberty then sells that to 49,000 customers. NV Energy has told Liberty it will stop selling them wholesale power after May 2027.
It's kind of like Liberty's a coffee shop that buys beans and sells coffee to customers. The customers are the homes, and the beans are the electricity it buys from NV Energy or makes itself. This is like your local coffee shop ending a contract with a specific bean company and started buying the beans from somewhere else. It doesn't stop you from buying coffee.
Why is their contract ending with NV Energy? NV Energy selling to Liberty was understood as transitional since it started in 2009. Long story short, NV Energy was basically Liberty's only wholesale option, but a new transmission line opening in May 2027 gives Liberty access to a much wider Western market, with among other things a much larger share of solar and wind and hydro. That's the whole story here. Ending the contract with NV Energy and opening up this much wider pool with much more renewable energy was the plan here completely separate from data center demand.
NV Energy is ending the contract right as the new high-voltage transmission line comes online, and is opting not to extend past that date. In its filing with California regulators, Liberty said NV Energy cited growing data center demand as one of several reasons it would not offer another extension. But the town will have the high-voltage transmission at that point. No one's losing power. This was always the plan.
This is like if a local coffee shop were buying beans from Starbucks, and then started buying beans from somewhere else instead, and the headlines all saying "Nearly 50,000 people have been told that Starbucks will stop providing coffee to them, because it's redirecting it elsewhere."
MPU just chooses to send out these unbelievable lies and gets millions of views every time.
