martineverest: They can't decode anything, worst case scenario is to hack the wallets servers and hopefully decrypt their usernames and passwords. Quantum computing is not a reality yet, and moreover Bitcoin servers are near impossible to hack 3 Likes 1 Share |

Education / Re: Top Four Grammar Errors On Social Media - Read And Educate Others by Opperwezen(m): 2:51am On Jul 06, 2020 |
Reader mode Top four Grammar Errors on Social Media- Read and Educate others Maxwil The advent of social media has made communication a lot more easy and tons and tons of messages have been exchanged on the platform. It's no doubt that our grammar, to some extent is greatly influenced by our daily conversations with friends, families, associates and acquaintance. Personally I have come across a lot of grammatical errors, especially of common tenses. I am greatly disturbed by the incessant inappropriate usage of these common words or phrases. As you read, join me in educating as many as you can in whatever way you can. Check the list below, make corrections of whichever applies to you and share to help get rid of these common errors. 1. Using apostrophes when pluralizing It's Mondays and Tuesdays, not Monday's and Tuesday's. This mistake is everywhere on the Internet and social media and it makes me want to cry. The Oxford dictionary clearly states that apostrophes are only for indicating possession or an abbreviation. The exception for this is only when indicating plurals of single letters or single numbers. For example: 'find all the p's and 7's in the box'. Never use it when pluralizing. 2. Confusing 'it's' and 'its' This is simple, the possessive form of 'its' never carries an apostrophe. If your sentence makes sense when you use 'it is' then 'it's' is what should replace it as its abbreviated form but if it doesn't, then 'its' is what is appropriate. 3. Using comma splices The punctuation mark ',' is used to indicate a set off parts of a sentence or between elements of a list and not hazardously in sentences. Example: I like twitter, it's a great place to communicate. John went to the house, I met him there. Correction: Use a semi-colon instead of a comma Use a full-stop instead of a comma. Use a coordinating conjunction like ‘or’, ‘and’ or ‘but'. So it should be 'I like twitter. It's a great place to communicate'. Note the other corrections where they apply. 4. Confusing 'you're' and 'your' This is quite similar to the error discussed in number 2. If you re-write the sentence using ' you are' and it makes sense then 'you're' is what you should use. If you need the possessive form as in 'your shoes are nice' or 'your toes are big' then 'your' is what you should use. Thank you for reading and let me know if this was helpful. Sharing is loving! Join me in sharing this with others. Let's try in our little way to get rid of bad grammar. God bless you. 1 Like 1 Share |

WUdec: The bank heist was not a one man operation, it was carried out by a mob. The individual named coconspirator 1 in the affidavit is a man named Mirza who was also living the good life, he was arrested by the FBI in oct 2019, it was he who likely did all the snitching, i believe law protocol requires you use such terms as "conspirators" and co in place of a suspects name for a reason unknown to me. 3 Likes |

Angelfrost: In my opinion, we are at a stage where each individual is solely responsible for the safety of his family. This virus is thriving on ignorance, people refuse to believe the virus is prevalent here. What is the solution in your opinion? |

People disregard safety measures because: 1. They believe the figures are falsified and the virus is not prevalent. 2. They are yet to see any one in their neighborhood get infected. 3. They are totally unaware of the havoc the virus caused in Brazil which has a very similar demographic. Brazil has about 1.4m confirmed cases, I hate to sound like a pessimist but with things going at this pace with no bars in place, then we may be heading to that region. 4. They fail to realize that although the virus is not a death sentence to a lot, it can be very lethal to a few individuals the lot care about. No cure or vaccine in sight, yet cases keep increasing geometrically, people dying, masses wanting their lives pre covid-19 era back in full swing, A government very eager to give it back to them ASAP. My father has a chronic cough and he's in his 70's, his chances of survival if he comes in contact with the virus would be low. Take home: We tested about 2000 individuals, out of which about 750 returned positive, if we test 2m individuals how many would return positive? Naija which way? 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Grandmeister: If you remove the glue you don't necessarily lose water resistance. Yes you can change the cover but it's "HARD" when compared to changing that of a galaxy which places adhesive only on the edges of the cover |
Phones / Re: Iphone 11 Or Samsung S20 Ultra .. Which Would You Go For by Opperwezen(m): 4:26pm On Jun 26, 2020 |
Grandmeister:How does bragging rights and poverty relate? Do you know you can't replace the batteries of iPhone x and upwards without professional help since the back cover is glued all the way with a very nasty adhesive? Do you know that Apple plans to release an update that bans users from replacing batteries themselves, except at official Apple stores for ridiculous prices? There are lots of videos on Battery endurance comparison between both phones, make sure to watch one before commenting. Samsung makes the best mobile displays and that definitely comes at a higher price since quality doesn't come cheap, Samsung makes Apple's OLED displays which come cheaper, this is due to higher quality. Samsung's major bottleneck is in providing only 2 major OS upgrades to "toagships" over the life span of the device and this is not something peculiar as a lot of other smartphone manufacturers selling their devices in the US do same, I'm guessing this is due to an agreement with Carriers, forcing users to buy newer devices every 3 years in order to "keep in touch" I stand my ground on my previous comments, you are free to do same we can't all think alike. 2 Likes |
