SkunkWorkz@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games StoreEnglish1·20 days agoI’m not talking about stolen gift cards. The goal of money laundering is to move dirty cash from the criminal underworld into lawful society. Selling stolen gift cards on G2A doesn’t help with that. You want to create proof for the tax man that the money you earn comes from a legitimate source. If you sell stolen gift card you don’t have a paper trail for where you have sourced those cards. It’s suspicious. And selling cards on G2A you buy with your dirty cash from a legit store is still suspicious since you still have to proof if the money you used to buy those cards was earned legitimately.
If you buy gift cards with your dirty cash at a store and then pretend to be a customer by buying your own game you have created a money paper trail for the tax man since your earnings will come from Valve with receipts and all and you don’t have to proof where and how your “customers” have bought those gift cards. And then once that money is taxed that money is earned legitimately.
You could buy stolen gift cards from another criminal but good chance stores report to their supplier if a batch of cards is stolen and then it gets reported to Valve. And Valve knows which numbers those are. If they see a game getting bought with cards from the same stolen batches and have almost no other sales there is a chance the game gets flagged automatically by their systems and they probably report it to the authorities.

You can just set up a shell corp that releases shitty shovelware and buy the game from yourself with steam cards you bought from the store with your dirty cash. And then you’d get all your money back ready to be taxed and laundered.
It says wire-less not wire-non. Duh
The other person could have easily avoided this awkwardness. They could have just said “I like you too”. Like yeah they misread the situation. Even if they were actual dates it doesn’t automatically mean the other person has feelings for them. People often go on dates without having any preexisting feelings for the other person. And just want to go out for a good time. Even kissing and sex doesn’t always mean the other person is into you. It’s not uncommon that the other person starts developing feelings after a few dates.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.worldto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Home Assistant officially MattersEnglish1·2 months agoYou can flash the Sonoff Zigbee Dongle-E to turn into a Thread antenna using OpenThread RCP. So you can run Matter over Thread. This dongle cost less than $30 on AliExpress.

I’ve connected my Nuki smart lock via this dongle. Though I’m preferring to use the MQTT over Thread implementation for this lock. Since it broadcasts more information over MQTT than with the Matter integration.

Reddit sucks not only because of Spez and his greedy overlords, many of the users suck as well and I bet there is a big overlap on the Venn diagram between people who suck and people who think lemmy is confusing

Reminds me of those conservative men who complained on xitter or insta that TikTok is sexualizing girls. They showed their TikTok feed and it is full of young girls dancing in cheerleader outfits. These people don’t understand how the feed works and they were basically outing themselves.

With digital downloads you are not allowed to sell a drive with the files. Since you are technically making a copy.
Foreign languages, bet they mean French and Spanish. And not the weebs learning Japanese or the Dutch
Also who would call their porn watching habits a hobby? It’s just something you do to kill some time, like scrolling social media. A hobby is something you can get better in or gain deep knowledge in. Calling porn a hobby is like calling eating, or shopping a hobby. Consuming stuff is not a hobby.
They should have called it ManDrill. Nothing more masculine than drilling a man.
