shrug... and nothing of value was lost.

Oddly, you're one of the few that has that problem. It's email, not a database, it's not complex.
Btw, it does indent messages in a thread, I just checked to verify in my google mail. At least the web interface, since I don't use the app.

I stream, and click on the download button when I want a local copy of the song in MP3 format.

digital isn't a format, there are a billion variations of it...

Gramma of course.

I so agree... you'd think everyone started using websites when facebook came out or something.... yeesh.
Next thing will be stories about someone complaining about instructions saying to ctrl-click instead of right-click...

Eh, whatever. I use facebook to talk to friends around the country and share daily stuff, and people who own fieros as well. (for info sharing, parts sale/trade/etc)

There was a time I was away for 1-2 years, got emails like explained and just sent the first one or two to the spam folder. After that, no more issues.
This wasn't the first website I've had this issue with... are people new?

Pretty much all laptops do...

right.. it's called vm_stat, and sar was removed from MacOS since sierra but there's still the official Apple repository for sar:
https://opensource.apple.com/s...
Download sar.c, sar.h and also sadc.h and sadc.c from a sibling folder.

Compile and test:

clang sar.c -o sar -I .
clang sadc.c -o sadc -I . -framework Foundation -framework IOKit ./sar -A -f test > testout
terminated by signal SIGFPE (Floating point exception)

And output, testout looks like this:

17:32:23 %usr %nice %sys %idle

17:32:23 pgout/s

17:32:23 pgin/s pflt/s vflt/s

17:32:23 device r+w/s blks/s

17:32:23 IFACE Ipkts/s Ibytes/s Opkts/s Obytes/s

17:32:23 IFACE Ierrs/s Oerrs/s Coll/s Drop/s
New Disk: [disk0] IODeviceTree:/PCI0@0/SATA@1F,2/PRT0@0/PMP@0/@0:0

17:32:23 %usr %nice %sys %idle
17:32:23 0 0 0 0

17:32:23 pgout/s
17:32:23 nan

17:32:23 pgin/s pflt/s vflt/s
17:32:23 nan nan inf

So it compiles, data can be collected and kindof processed, but not fully.

I've found the Apple repository of SAR thanks to this superuser answer: https://superuser.com/a/581128

I wouldn't consider what you said true since "geek cred" hardly means upgrading video cards.

The days of Windows and DOS having all the software has gone on the wayside for yearly a decade or longer. I run nearly all OSes side by side on MacOS anyway, it's not like there's any problem there, either.

You forgot the 90% after that first sentence... of what you MEAN...

It's possible to get something newer without having people trying to make you look like an idiot. Stop it.

This is true, and a key thing for people to remember.
A credit card is borrowing money from someone else, and paying them at a later time with a touch extra as interest.
It's nothing more, and it's a privilege.

The fact that it's so isolated to each task being done by one person only makes it a weak candidate for any Linux distribution.
At that point, it's only a matter of time before one piece of it's weak foundation breaks and it comes tumbling down.
Not to mention.. I've never heard of it.

Guess I should get a construction job. It looks like I'm disappointing someone, again.
