Rather, "not allowed". Sure, my Dell XPS 420, that a friend gave me, is old, but it runs Windows 10 like a champ - though I did replace the HDD with a SSD; I imagine it would run Windows 11 just as well if not for the (arbitrary) hardware "requirements" Microsoft imposed for Windows 11. Same for my other systems. Instead of buying something new(er), I'll be switching to using my Linux Mint 22 system full-time instead - which is also old, but works great (i7-3770, ASRock Z77 Extreme3, 32 GB RAM, Samsung SSD).

Good thing SSDs can't be replaced. /s

I had thought about this and was why I initially used Authy as they had a Windows app I could use as my backup/alternate - "had" being the operative word. I've since switched to 2FAS where I can export the data to JSON and manually copy the TOTP seeds into KeePassXC, which runs on Windows, Linux, ... I can also keep encrypted copies (via 2FAS directly or something like AxCrypt) of the 2FAS data where ever I want as well in the Google online backup. Another route would be to stand up a virtual phone/tablet device in something like Android Studio and install a copy of your authenticator app on that -- 2FAS could load the existing data from the online backup.

I recommend this NOVA episode Arctic Sinkholes (full episode) from Feb 2022, described in the articles below.

Pete Hegseth gets asked that all the time... :-)

I don't mind a little triage at the beginning of a call to get some basic information that will be passed along, but (a) I much prefer to press buttons than "speak or say" and (b) there's a point at which all the prompting becomes annoying. What's often lacking is a clear way to end/bypass this and just get to a person. While the secret word is usually "operator", "representative", or pressing zero, etc... they often don't tell you and you have to guess or deal with "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. Please enter your..." over and over again until some built-in limit is reached and you're passed along - or you or they hang-up.

Sounds like a site where people can ogle documents and spreadsheets -- those blank ones leave a LOT to the imagination ... :-)

From TFA. Not RFK, but ...

Okay, the architect of the mass-deportation effort Steven Miller owns stock in Palantir, a company with a $30M contract with ICE to track and manage deportations, so... what "wearable" companies does RFK, Jr. own stock in, or get donations from? Noting Medical device makers’ shares surge on RFK Jr.’s wearable push. Can't even start to imagine the privacy concerns w/everyone wearing theses. The bizarre thing RFK Jr. wants Americans wearing by 2029.

Once they have your files it will be easier to coerce you into getting a new Windows 11, so you can keep having access to your files when the extension period expires, or they put up some other roadblock.

As have who actually pays tariffs. Yet here we are with a leader who somehow got a degree from Wharton and thinks, or at least says, it's the exporter (actually, exporting country - China!) and people who believe him - and, apparently, can't use Google or Wikipedia.

I know people rail against HP, some of it for good reasons, but I've had several w/o any problems. I currently have a HP Color LaserJet MFP M477fdw All-in-One, with high-yield "X" cartridges. I got it in July 2017 on Amazon for $399 and it still works like a champ. This specific model is discontinued, but it's still available and there is a newer model as well as similar models available.

I have a friend with (I think) a Brother Color MFC-L8600CDW All-in-One, also now discontinued, and he's pretty happy with it. I'm sure the price in 2017 was inline with what I paid for my HP. Whatever he has was my other choice, but the printer wouldn't fit in the space I had available, so I got the HP.

They're both small business class printers with both wired and wireless networking, duplexing, print, copy, scan, fax, etc... I've used every feature except the fax.

While I'll never get another Inkjet for regular printing, I'd consider one for for specific/specialized photo printing.

Then all that acetaminophen destroys your liver. No thanks. Micro-plastics or liver transplant? Hmm...

Literally sounds like something Trump would say. :-)

Can't wait for driver-less car settings like in the Amazon series Upload ... :-)
