Comment Re:My Nissan Leaf in Michigan (Score 1) 192

Same with me in Illinois with a C-Max energi. Normal electric range is 20-24 miles when warm. Car this morning reported a 15 mile range. Even on gas it is low as normal highway mpg is around 45. Wife drove 100 miles the other day and only got 35. Brutal cold is hard on mileage

This is probably the correct answer. I asked my wife if she mentioned me snoring in a message to her friends,and she's said no. Regardless, the add creeped me out enough that it was the nudge i needed to delete the app and go over my account to look for leaks. A couple of minor things needed tweaked,but for the most part is pretty clean.

I got an ad on facebook for an anti snoring aid. I did not say anything about that on facebook, nor did I shop for anything like that. The only way it would know such things is that it monitors the microphone on the phone. The facebook "lite" app I installed a couple of months ago was promptly removed from my phone.

True. Not only that, you used to be able to watch a fair amount on PC with an unpaid account. Now they have nothing. I checked that a couple of months ago to see if anything had changed.. it hadn't. I had lost interest in it a few years ago because too many ads, that they repeated over and over for too long, and mostly shit content.

Comcast offered this before for less $ with more stations. About a year ago they did a trial in Illinois for $15 a month. Same station line-up, plus it included HBO. Now it costs $3 more without HBO. We only used it for a couple of months to watch Silicon Valley and Game of Thrones. Once their seasons ended, we dropped it. Still more content available to watch than we have time for on youtube, netflix, amazon. PBS is the only thing we can get with an indoor antenna.

400 million or so on Windows 10. A small percentage of those are early adopters who are testing the new version. Lets say a 10th of a percent, so maybe 400,000 pc are testing the new version, and I am sure there are plenty of problems, and tons of missed hardware configurations.

I'm sure there will be plenty of problems with the new release, and it's always smart to put it off as long as possible.

Same deal, same price for me. Periodically, they call me and try to get me to sign up for cable bundle, as it is a "better deal". As you know, the devil is in the details and they refuse to tell me what the additional fees would be or to provide anything in writing, so I politely decline.

We have been off cable for several years, and quit when we lived in a different town and the local cable was going to require a cable box. We continued with that when we moved to a town with Comcast.

Cordcutting is only getting better and easier now.
