This is also why Alaska is among the few places there are still Blockbuster stores. RedBox is also popular here.

Let's not forget their algorithms determining what we get to see and what we don't.

she leaves her office unlocked and her computer on and logged in. She used to complain about people going into her office and looking through her computer, and other stuff, when she wasn't there.

I turned on her screen saver password and let her know the password. She screamed like a banshee at me until I turned the password back off.

Go figure... I'm pretty sure she uses nothing more than slide-to-unlock on her phone as well.

Unless I really like the product. I don't generally take the time to do a good review. If I'm only satisfied with the product, I don't bother with a review. I have other things to do.

Most of the time, if I take the time to post a review, it's because I'm not particularly happy with my purchase.

Maybe this time it will go somewhere

My Android devices have been doing this as well lately, especially my Pixel C, and I get it. The problem is that I realize that the network has some reliability issues when I choose to connect to it but it's what's available without using up my cellular data allowances. All the available WiFi in the area is about the same as far as reliability goes. My choices are to tolerate it, or go to my home or office for a "reliable" connection.

There is no constitutional "right" that says anybody has to listen to you

Netflix basic accounts expect 2 - 3 simultaneous streams. One person can normally watch one at a time. In talking to Netflix support, I have even told them that 2 - 3 may be using it at one time and it didn't seem to faze them at all.

Use a Chromebook. Store everything in your favorite cloud account. As you approach the border crossing, tell it to wipe (factory reset). Once across, log into your cloud account and allow a restore.

The early 80's. Put 3 - Shugart SA-800Rs on it for floppy drives. DC hayes 300 baud S-100 modem. Zenith Z-19 was my original terminal on it. GE Terrminet 1200 & Centronics 101A printers. Helped a friend put together an IMSAI 8080 not too long before that.

If we were actually interested in the ad's pitch, we probably wouldn't skip it. Do they think that forcing me to watch the ad is going to make me want the product more?

A local lawyer bucked the rules on it and posted all the state laws on their website for all to see. A couple of years of many of the other lawyers in the state trying to force them to shut down that part of their website and the state relented. Now the State of Alaska has them posted in a searchable database on the official state website.

Just because teachers are apparently unable to explain how projecting a sphere onto a 2-dimensional surface in a way that explains it any longer any longer...

Because keeping up with a dozen team members in geographically, time zone and time schedule diverse places is a pain. More than once I have ended up working with instructions or a document that had been superseded and I was unaware of the fact that it had been superseded.

You end up in a situation with a dozen people hitting "reply all" or calling each other on the telephone leaving messages. While you're listening to one message or talking to one person, three others call and leave more messages and sending emails in between.

Maybe Slack isn't "The" answer, maybe it still needs some work, but it's a step in the right direction.
