  • Xfinity was also an attempt at competing against FiOS because consumers were getting to know that FiOS = speed in the Comcast hometown. If your neighbors have FiOS and you’re just a lame-o with Comcast cable, that is no bueno. Luckily I don’t have lame-o Comcast cable, I have Xfinity, the cool sounding thing that I once again don’t understand what it is so it can be whatever they tell me it is. Which is honestly a smart move for a brand, all things considered. Things wouldn’t stay cable forever.



  • Come on man he was just flexing for the moon boys. They have been showing off their worthless purchases heading straight to zero on Twitter for a few years now and he had to make sure they know who is boss by buying the whole platform and speed running it to zero


  • I get this brand called teelevo off of Amazon, try searching for that along with wallet case for your phone model. It’s sort of like an armor case with a compartment you can slide a couple of cards into. It’s not as strong as say an OtterBox type of phone armor, but when I drop it it has been the case that cracks if anything. I don’t mind because they are also relatively cheap compared to the alternative


  • Putting credit cards in smart phones is not the end of the world by any stretch. Security on this front is constantly developing. Putting it into an everything app run by a guy whose first move after buying Twitter was killing multifactor auth for most of his users isn’t something I would consider wise.

    You might enjoy getting a wallet case though. I keep my ID and debit card in my phone case and the overall profile is pretty much the same, just slightly bulkier.


  • This would require either a central authority for registering and managing the identities, or the path of distributed ledger, where identity is confirmed with digital signatures when transacting - the second option is what crypto is. Some type of Blockchain tech could service it but all crypto related technology is buried in bad optics right now due to the current state of it being a big mouse trap setup by venture capital to squeeze money out of people without the protections of regulation afforded by their centralized identity management (which is run by the native government that the users are a citizen of.)
