Can you see how “there’s not a better solution” isn’t addressing the problem that crypto is fundamentally a scam?

Also, you can’t pay your rent with crypto either….

EDIT: if you want crypto to pass my sniff test, you have to explain where value comes from.

Fiat currency is valuable because I can pay my taxes with it. (This is really the only reason it has value).

So what underpins crypto value beyond “it’s the future”

All (capitalistic) money is a scam.

We’re just forced to use a currency because governments say so.

So yes, your crypto is still a scam. Because money still vanishes into thin air when line goes down.

as we might otherwise end up paying dearly for our failures down the line.

Given how we’ve tackled climate change, holding your breath may be the better option soon.

No…

You can’t buy a card without also buying all the individual composts though.

Except I’m buying a card with objectively worse materials.

So then why wouldn’t I expect a discount on this v2 card?

How is buying hardware based on specs not doing both?

To that end, that’s like saying apple doesn’t need to offer higher base specs on things like ssds and internal storage because the performance is the same.

 

So I’m looking to spend money on a new TV and audio setup.

I have two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, an office, and two bathrooms that I’d like to fit with speakers. I do rent so I do need wireless.

For the TV in the living room and one bedroom I want a sound bar, but am planning for bookshelf style speakers for the rest of the rooms. I live in apartment building so I want to avoid a subwoofer. There’s decent sound proofing though, and I don’t plan on cranking the volume for any of these.

I want to be able to combine any rooms with each other and play music from any tv or Spotify.

Im currently looking at Sonos systems, but want to consider something more self hosted.

I wouldn’t know where to start looking for good systems. I imagine music assistant would handle the logic of what I need, but no clue on speakers and amplifiers.

Any ideas?
