Don’t have a technical background per se.

I have a degree in music education, and work at a consulting firm doing non-programming-language-based data work.

Personally, though, I am a very technical person who loves science and math. I have a tinkerer’s mindset; I love taking things apart and understanding how they work, then putting it back together.

I honestly don’t have a ton of friends, and those I do have im very close with, so I know I’d feel confident paying off some of their debts. I’m aware that money can ruin things very quickly.

I don’t want to give money, but just help out. I’m really not a materialistic person.

Realistically, and assuming I claimed it and handled the financial and legal aspects of having that much money, I’d do this;

Pay off my debts, as well as those of my parents and sister, then help friends pay off everything. Then buy a nice house and nice stuff, leave my job, then travel.

Then I’d see what sorts of things I can use my money to improve, or who I can help.

While money is nice for security, I don’t need or want anywhere remotely close to 1$billion at one time. That amount of money is dangerous.

Bluetooth and nfc audio codecs have gotten so good that unless you’re running high impedance headphones with an amp/dac, wireless is effectively indistinguishable from wired, at least for most applications, and especially if using a mobile device.

It’s very simple. It’s because people falsely mistake freedom of speech for freedom from consequence.

Probably some sort of stupid sensor they’ve put there for this exact reason.

VLC, Scandit, and Keka are all great.

I don’t think that would have been in my top 5 guesses.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

How old is he?
