Also, if the Flipper Zero can clone your bank’s card, you should probably switch to another bank.

It’s a neat tool, and it can definitely do a lot, but it’s not magic, and it can’t emulate decent cards with proper security. If your bank card doesn’t have that, that’s… an issue.

On a similar note: In German, “seven hundred fifty three” would be said as “seven hundred three and fifty”.

At least it’s consistent - starting at “thirteen” , which is “three ten”, up to ninety nine, which is “nine and ninety”, the multiples of ten come last.

It is pretty annoying, though, when a number like 123’456’789 is spoken as 132-465-798, though.

Apparently, it’s because in old Germanic, the numbers were spoken “backwards” (one hundred twenty three being spoken as “three and twenty and hundred”), and we only partially reversed that.

It’s just tradable karma on the blockchain.

I would agree, if that’s actually what’s happening.

However, looking at how the gaming industry does things… I think it’s more likely that it takes so long because the game has either been put on ice or they have a completely understaffed team working on it slowing, development to a crawl. And then, once the company suddenly decides they want to release it, they’re going to force crunch time, anyway.

I’d be very happy if my suspicions turn out wrong, but…
