My transaction sending a small amount of cash to a personal friend in Australia exited my account just fine, but failed to materialize in theirs today.

I wonder if it's affecting specifically Australia, because they were unable to open their own new account today for some kind of rate limiting or velocity timeout.

Like if Wise have some microservice or compliance API calls failing for Australia markets specifically, that could explain these three failings that you'd expect headlines talking about a countrywide outage affecting that significant of a market.

Lulwut? When did /r/TD start leaking into Lemmy. Did any of what you said have anything to do with what I said?

Are you feeling alright, man?

Edit: seriously leaning towards 'bot' at this point. Humans that find their way into Lemmy have generally been much more capable, and much less MGTOW

I love this, so much. Blue Links have been the most critical pass to my future, across my entire life.

Purple links often, too. I can't imagine surrendering the ability to sift through information with my own eyes and hands and brain.

The internet was founded on the sponsorship model where content was free and ads were ubiquitous. while I completely agree with you that I would rather pay for the product instead of being the product, at this informs every single sign up I make on the internet, I think it's self deluding to think there's any great again to go back to. The philosophy was always there, the execution just wasn't possible until they had finished building their walled gardens

Important thing is Musk can't sing Billy Joel's 'We didn't start the fire'

Is St Elmo's Fire made of Li-Ion or Life-Po?

This is the intended purpose of a vpn, to throw your traffic to another location's IP address geographically separate your traffic from your location.

You can change the exit node of your VPN. Mulvad has a fairly straightforward user interface and you can just choose another country to be relocating your traffic through.

Succinct, says the quiet part out loud, and it has me exploring my own assumptions.

Thanks for being a part of this community.

You are describing in-game settings.

Folks are recommending you check up make sure the deck isn't making ALL games more jagged with higher level settings, as described.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, I would invite you to reverse the question.

A Blue Screen of Death on your Windows PC is like the check engine light to a car. It's the indicator to pop the hood and try to understand that there's a fault therein.

Oftentimes, the warnings can be ignored without consequence, but to do so is at your own parent.

BSOD's can't cause a fault in the data in your storage.

The fault in your system that can cause a fault in your storage, can also cause the Blue Screen of Death.

Edit: modern storage file systems and modern operating systems are fairly resilient, usually "journaling" some local catalog of all the successful data writes committed on the drives, and I have yet to corrupt a Windows installation with all of my forced power cycling and sudden restarts across the last 20 years. But, as always, caveat emptor.

Philosophically agree with you, and would love to see it okay out exactly as you say.

The problem with incorporating a business is that all humans therein pretty much escape liability.

The only value is the assets and intellectual property that can be sold off to another organization. Releasing all the proprietary data brings that value down to zero.

As usual, our addiction to market capitalism means the world is pay-to-play, and the risks will always remain higher than you or I would like or need.
