    Now hold on, maybe they're onto something. The highest levels of drug dealers most likely aren't accepting cash, they're laundering their money through legitimate fronts. Setting up some simple LLC or something for a relatively small fee and funneling money through that could actually shield you better from local law enforcement.

    Block, the company that owns Cash App, lost a court case and had to pay an $80m fine for failing to adhere to anti-money laundering laws. The Feds have been all over it for a year. Maybe 3 years ago it was possible to fake the KYC, but not a much so anymore.

    The only truly non-tracable financial system is Monero, and many exchanges won't touch it because it has such a close connection to crime.

      I started self hosting my own RSS feed a few years ago, and I couldn't live without it. It's the best way to get timely info.

      And then you can be the first one to post it on lemmy.

                Magnetic tape. It's one of the better long-term offline backup solutions. It is compact, inexpensive, has no moving parts (bearings, motors, reader heads), no scratchable surfaces, and can last for decades in a moderately climate-controlled room.

                Just keep it away from magnets... or iron vaults. According to an anecdote (that I can't find right now), a large bank vault was repurposed as an offsite backup storage, except it kept wiping the magnetic tapes because the thick iron walls reacted to changes in the geomagnetic field.

                I'd love to get into tape backups for my stuff. But the price for the drives is absolutely unjustifiable for hobbyists unfortunately.

                  Developers. Yes, AI can sling a lot of code, but it can't make business decisions and it can't please a difficult customer.

                    In my county (midwest America) communication between lawyers and courts is still entirely by fax. I don't know if that's the case of other counties in my state, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

                      Generally what are you using it for? I've had trouble finding uses outside of youtube and a handful of news sites.

                                      Nah, gotta got vinyl because cassettes deteriorate just sitting in their cases while vinyl stays pristine ... until you actually play it, anyway -- but if you want to store an audio recording for longevity, press a gold version of a vinyl album.

                                      With both, it also matters how you store it. But like I said, (modern) cassettes are not for HiFi. If I really want to immerse myself in a record, I need the vinyl. The whole experience is just so much fun.

                                          Buttons, knobs, plastic bezels.

                                          At least according to the industry those are all in the past. The future is screens that go to the very edge of the device and absolutely nothing tactile.

                                          And it is bullshit. It is less reliable, less convenient, less cool -- To say nothing of the safety disaster that nailing a tablet computer to the dashboard of every car has been.
