    you are right, as I did not have clearance to view them, and i did not want to expose myself to any form of risk .

    No you can transfer it to anyone you want, you just can't get the physical notes/coins, which for large transactions are inconvenient anyway. I do not know how long transfers take in the US but in most of western Europe a transfer in the same country is usually within a business day or less, and 2 days for cross border transfers in euro i suspect thart arranging for somewhat secure transport of currency will take (including the transport) somewhat longer but I have never had to deal with it so I might be wrong

    this just in : Fractional-reserve banking means your bank, and the wider system, does not have enugh cash to for-fill demand if a significant portion of costumers do that, so instead of a few people draining the reserves they have limits. Another reason for limits is that today no one need that large an ammount of cash onléss the want to do large transaction below the radar (for whtever reason, that raises som flags). Your milage may wary, but the last tim i used cash was.. 3 years ago i think, my debit card on the other hand gets almost daly (often multiple times a day) use, I find it way more convinient than fddeleing around with cash) but then again my bank charges me 0 for card tranactions (ok 1,75% on top of the exchange rate when I use it abroad but that is actually visa so i can not fault them for that)

  6. No she/he does not need to somtimes geeks wants polished and slick UX, shore the individual in question is probably able to go the x86 route, and probably get some extra features at a lower price point. But doing that might not touch her/his core interest, maybe the person would rather spent that time coding something, punting together a video or playing a board game with a few friends. The case might allso be that FictionPimp is not the only user of the device and the rest of the users might want the features/ease of use/apps their friends have, but this is pure speculation on my part.. Personaly I like playing a bit with linux (centos is my chioice) and I'm seriosly thinking about changing to smart os for zones+zfs etc, But when i want to kick back in front of my tv with some netflix/ primevideo/ youtube i find that ATV 4k has a far better ux than my lgOLED55c7v, and for some reason I have never felt the need to test the others I might just bee a lazy nerd, but hey there are only so many hoers in a day and my ADD does not help either.
