I somewhat disagree. While I've had my share of bad phone support calls, I mostly blame the companies for it. They're the ones who don't train their people adequately and who require these people follow poorly thought out scripts.

Pretty much every ride-share driver I've known is working for both Uber and Lyft simultaneously. You should be able to avoid Uber on principle without any impact to yourself, if (like me) you don't want to give business to Uber just because of their track record as a crap company.

Oh, is that what I've been hearing? I thought my tinnitus was acting up again...

Story title: "Starlink Helps Eight More Nations Pass 50% IPv6 Adoption"

Actual story text: only mentions Starlink in association with Tuvalu - which is, by far, the least-consequential place mentioned.

*Apparently a few still exist, somehow

Doesn't StarLink keep raising its rates, a la Comcast?

I now see the statement "All plans include Unlimited Data".

Still wondering about those upload speeds, though.

The only Comcast link provided talks mostly about wi-fi for some reason... and does NOT mention data caps, one way or the other. I'd really like to see an explicit statement "we are removing our data caps".

I'll also be curious to see if these new plans would actually nerf my current Comcast upload speed, which is officially 150mbps but typically is just shy of 180mbps. That upload speed is more important to me than the 1.2TB cap, which I've only hit once.

The missing preposition got shipped to Haiti prematurely.

Obligatory Futurama.

You have the option of additional security by moving additional services out of the Windows kernel.

Nope. I got the ad right on my lockscreen... I didn't have to open the Wallet app, nor do I have a Fandango account.

Apparently Apple thinks they don't have enough of my money... but this makes me more skeptical of their products. If they're advertising to me just because they can, how exactly are they different than Google? I might as well go with the ad company that offers a decent voice assistant.

My doctor doesn't want me getting too excited anymore. Where's my nurse? It's past time for morning meds, and I need my nap...

Dammit, and here I was about to make one of those lame jokes...

Sorry to have gone so far off-script with a Lion King quote...

What do they do, dress in drag and do the hula?
