ASICs are used in nearly every aspect of modern technology, such as TCP Offload Engine in network cards, the VPU in most GPUs, RAID chips, USB controller, and much more. You want an ASIC for nostr for the same reason you'd want an ASIC for Bitcoin or any of these things. A well designed ASIC can solve a specific task, faster, and more energy efficiently than a CPU.

Umbrel is not an asic. They are not even attempting or considering anything to the effect.

It is also worth highlighting that it is the recipient that sets the covenant restrictions, not the sender. I cannot send you Bitcoin with "shotgun" restrictions, it is a conscious choice to that I (or my wallet) must make prior to generating an address to receive.

Some clients do not support zaps on posts. Damus for example had to remove this feature due to pressure from Apple Monopolies Incorporated.

He's saying it doesn't use lightning to store sats. It swaps them on demand.

It's fairly common and discussed in the white paper. Absolutely nothing "unhealthy" to worry about

I ran this video and the document it addresses by a U.S. intellectual property attorney. He confirmed that the document is primarily composed of boilerplate language, with the exception of the firearm-related provisions, which are likely unenforceable. Observing a non-attorney attempting to understand and interpret legal jargon is neither beneficial nor constructive, and frankly is embarrassing for the content creator. While I am not defending Rust, it is likely that they engaged external legal counsel to draft this document, who in turn may have utilized a standard template with minimal modifications for this purpose.
All of the outrage is unwarranted.

You don't need a business model if it isn't a business.

I am. I had some issues early on, but they seem to have gone away with newer versions of the app.

If you put a 50gb file on a 100gb hard drive, how big is the hard drive?

Storing another Blockchain in Bitcoin would not inherently increase the block size.

How long until you're able to interface with the LightningTipBot over nostr dm rather than telegram?

I don't see any reason that you couldn't use it on isolated offline networks with others on that same network.

In none of the cases described does a hard fork occur. It is a soft fork despite the forking of the chain. Both chains are valid Bitcoin blockchains but the majority of nodes are following the one that contains more work.
I suppose you then end up with some form of an alt coin, which could become Bitcoin in the future if the chain contained more work.

A soft fork requires the majority of miners or users to agree to enforcing the new rules of the soft fork.

Not just another service. I have a 11 year old Mac mini just for blue bubbles. Luckily I got it for free in the trash and it only draws about 4 watts.

Run an Air message or blue bubbles server on an old Mac mini or MacBook.

Chase is also the only one I don't have working. I just use the webapp.

The biggest problem with inscriptions is that they abuse the segwit witness discount in a way that is opponent to it's intent.
If CISA is soft forked, the discount should be removed or reduced by half.

I set up my LN address. Do I also need to configure my node to run a zapper?
