- Binance Smart-Grid 3.0 auto-tunes range every 4 hrs
My Hung-Over Sunday That Made $18
October 2025 — new Ledger Nano S Plus arrives. I’m half-asleep, coffee in one hand, phone in the other. Ledger Live v4.8 looks different. I rush through the setup, skip the tiny “Advanced” tab (step 3), and hit “Finish.” Coins transferred, bed.
Next morning: firmware update bricks the device. Support says: “Recovery phrase confirmed?” I stare at the blank screen—I never ran the check. No phrase = no backup = $3,200 gone. Three hours of sleep cost me a month’s salary.
