We have that too. It's at http://donotcall.gov./ And you can register your numbers and it has a simple form to submit complaints. Companies still call by spoofing the caller ID and when you report that number, nothing happens.

What you need to do is go along with them enough, pretend like you want their offer, but then say you heard about phishing so you need a real number where you can call them back. Then report THAT number. They get a fine for $11,000.

I prefer my company laptop to my tablet because it's much faster to type with a keyboard. The tablet is good for reading books or taking on vacation (because I wouldn't miss it if it got stolen), but that's about it.

And conversely, I've had good jobs and enough disposable income that if I wanted to replace my gaming PC, I could have. I did replace my graphics card with a new one a couple years ago. But I was surprised when I looked at the copyright dates on my BIOS the other day and they were from 2009!!! That's six years ago now, and I didn't even notice.
