  1. Prince was right about the New World Order! President Biden just confirmed it....

  4. When it comes to protecting your accounts, the general consensus is to always use two-factor authentication, which traditionally uses a unique six-digit code that’s re-generated every 30 seconds. If you want to keep hackers away, it’s a big help...but the process isn’t seamless. You often need a third-party app, and you end up losing access to all your passwords if you lose your phone or the app itself. With iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey, Apple wants to make all of this easier by tying in two-factor authentication with iCloud Keychain. You can set up two-factor natively on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and since it’s linked to your iCloud account, it’s secure, supports autofill, and you’ll never lose access to it. Not to mention, it’s free to use. To be clear, this built-in authenticator is different from your Apple ID’s two-factor authentication settings. The latter sends a code to one of your trusted Apple devices when trying to log into your Apple ID. This new feature, however, is for third-party services that require an authenticator app. Essentially, navigate to the passwords section in a site or app, and choose their two-factor authentication option. Then, choose the option that lets you set up two-factor authentication on the same device. This will directly open the iCloud Passwords screen, where you’ll have to authenticate using a one-time password.
  5. 'Not a good sign:' Antarctica, Arctic simultaneously 70 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit above normal https://www.timesofisrael.com/not-a-good-sign-antarctica-arctic-simultaneously-70-and-50-degrees-above-normal/
  6. And here is a bitcoin dev team lead complaining about the complexity of ETH's code getting worse by the month...
  7. Sample survey size was 30 people in Dogsville, Kentucky? 😝
  8. I did not know about "overloading" the kidneys with fresh water... interesting.
  9. The creators of the perhaps the world’s most famous NFT collection, The Bored Ape Yacht Club, Yuga Labs, have just completed the purchase of IP for perhaps the second most famous NFT collection, The CryptoPunks! Yuga Labs’ first move as the CryptoPunk’s IP holder, is to grant full commercial rights to individual NFT holders: “With this acquisition Yuga Labs will own the CryptoPunks and Meebit brands and logos, and as they’ve done with their own BAYC collection, Yuga Labs will transfer IP, commercial and exclusive licensing rights to individual NFT holders”. Yuga’s decision to give BAYC IP to holders has prompted a number of exciting moves including the inception of numerous projects, even including ‘metaverse bands’ with Bored Apes as band members. On the flipside, Larva has come into conflict with its NFT holders over refusal to transfer commercial rights. Some holders even abandoned the project over the controversy. Yuga has since stressed that their absolute focus will still be the BAYC ecosystem, and they have no immediate plans to do anything but give IP to the CryptoPunk holders and see what they do with it! https://decrypt.co/94898/bored-ape-yacht-club-yuga-labs-cryptopunks-larva-labs
  10. The Fantom Foundation, the organisation behind the famous FTM token has now commented fully on the departure of advisor and ‘DeFi Godfather’, Andre Cronje, from the decentralised finance space. Recent days saw Cronje delete his social media and announce, via a friend, Anton Nell, that he would be permanently leaving the industry. Cronje and Nell were two of FTM’s most well-known developers and their departure has caused a disturbance in both price and community action. In the wake of a damning piece by Rekt, the Fantom Foundation responded with the following: “Andre and Anton did not ‘terminate’ 25 projects. Instead, any involvement (such as user interface) in these projects was to be handed over to the existing teams, many of whom had been developing and running independently.” The foundation further explained that neither Cronje nor Nell were ‘core’ developers for Fantom. Nonetheless, Fantom’s TVL appears to have fallen from $11.26 billion to $8.27 billion in the aftermath of the announcements. https://cointelegraph.com/news/fantom-foundation-issues-clarification-statement-about-departure-of-andre-cronje-and-anton-nell
  11. The US, EU and various other countries including Canada and Japan have bandied together to carry out additional actions in an attempt to stymy Russian attempts to evade previously imposed sanctions. According to a statement published by the White House yesterday: “Treasury’s expansive actions against Russia require all US persons to comply with sanctions regulations regardless of whether a transaction is denominated in traditional fiat currency or virtual currency… Treasury is closely monitoring any efforts to circumvent or violate Russia-related sanctions, including through the use of virtual currency, and is committed to using its broad enforcement authorities to act against violations and to promote compliance.” Comments by UK regulators echoed those made by US and EU counterparts: “Financial sanctions regulations do not differentiate between crypto assets and other forms of assets… The use of crypto assets to circumvent economic sanctions is a criminal offense.” There are additional concerns that crypto friendly states like the UAE will be used to evade sanctions with a growing number of enquiries into the possibility of using cryptocurrency to purchase real estate in such areas. However, given the ease with which these transactions can be tracked, I doubt the concerns are that warranted. https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-and-eu-double-down-on-measures-against-russia-potentially-using-crypto-to-evade-sanctions
  12. A conversation between the founders and controllers of Ethereum..... see how easy it is for them to manipulate the currency..... still think this is similar or better to Bitcoin? Not even in the same ballpark my friend.
