Good advice always has its exceptions. But in general you should never use a work device for personal use because it's very easy for that information to be either compromised and/or used against you.

My personal guidance is "if you don't own the device, pretend the owner is looking over your shoulder" it's incredibly easy for them to install keyloggers and trackers remotely and silently.

Isn't there a black mirror episode about someone experiencing a terrible fate because of a malfunctioning brain implant that just got FDA approval?

It may depend on the store. My local publix trains it's employees like Chick-fil-A does, and they probably would be offended if you didn't let them help you.

The baggers at my local food lion (if there is a single one in the store) are offended that they have to help you at all (probably because they're expecting you to be the fifth person today to come back in the store demanding a refund for the one cracked egg in their dozen)

You answered it for me. This is exactly what I was thinking.

I think it's funnier if it's the chicken nugget's

You don't matter to the world. You may matter to the small group of people who know you, but odds are you're insignificant

What does MKBHD have to do with this? He's just a tech reviewer who kinda fits between tech normie and tech conservative

This guy proves that being smart is not a prerequisite for being rich.

The first time I think it lasted 24 hours (April fool's day)

The second time (last time) it lasted for three days I think.

We can agree on what the words mean individually, but an NFT is not just some physical item which is unique. NFTs are unique and are only possible to transfer if you have the private key. So saying that your credit card number is an NFT because it's a token which is non-fungible is missing the point, and being intentionally obtuse.

I'm kinda done with this, we are not going to get any further in this discussion.

It sounds like you don't know what an NFT is. A credit card isn't a NFT because there is no private key, it's only a public token that you hope is securely stored everywhere you put it in. You could put your credit card info on a sketchy website and they could use that exact same information for a purchase with no interaction on your part.

Same exact story with your driver's license. And the car in Monopoly? What the fuck dude, they're mass produced identical pieces of metal.

Maybe that's why you think it's so great, because you have no idea what is and isn't an NFT.

And if you have the wrong people, you can max min the experience.
