That is a lie, and you know it. Google can't refuse to work for certain demographics. If they do, then they be Nazis. Remember the faggots that kissed and vomited in bakery in Oregon and demanded slave labor make their fake wedding cake? The hateful xian owners of the shop couldn't refuse to not be slaves since thieves were gay. I love to see xians turned into slaves.

And forcing slavery. If you have a business license you must serve certain groups or go to prison, even if they don't pay. You have to let them steal from you. The restaurant I worked at always had black people come in and order after closing, but we couldn't refuse to do who they be. I find them demanding forcing slavery on me to work for free since I be one of them and can do that to others. Having a business license means you agreed to certain responsibilities. You can't decide to not be a slave to certain groups. Google can't legally say no to us.

Comment As someone with actual experience with Frontier... (Score 1) 19

To be fair they have a lot of locations with wiring not good enough to support faster DSL. In the building where I live, they have the local phone monopoly and advertise 1.5 Mbps DSL. I ordered from them to have a backup connection, and they couldn't even get that to work. The nearly fifty year-old wiring inside the building that they replaced was a disaster. To their credit, they spent thousands on new wiring and now my FAX and my backup modem both work better. Also, the wiring distance to their central office is longer than they thought since their information was wrong. Their cables head the opposite in the direction away from their CO from what their drawings indicated so the distance is greater than what Verizon claimed when Frontier bought the lines. I tested a DSL modem connected to their pedestal on the street with their tech, and the connection looked good so there's a problem with the wiring under the parking garage in the way that's a problem. The condo owners association is fighting them on allowing them to replace it. Also, the drawing claimed the pedestal had been replaced in 2008 just before they bought the local lines from Verizon, and it is obviously much older. Frontier got screwed by Verizon.

I agree. We decided to accelerate new laptop purchases to help employees working from home, and I have two MacBooks that have problems new out of the box and scheduled an appointment to get them replaced within the return window so I could get a new replacement rather than a refurb unit. This sucks. We paid for new.

Comment Re: Coronavirus Monitoring (Score 1) 37

I have the opposite problem. My friend's Apple watch that I tried for a few days almost always reads twice the actual rate unless I'm exercising. Then, it reads correctly. So when I exercise, my heart rate decreases according to the measurement. I have a nightmarish looking EKG after a heart attack and had a quadruple bypass so I understand in my case that the measurement is understandably hard for Apple to measure.
