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.
I don’t think that would have been in my top 5 guesses.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
