McDonald's UI is so bad, I will not use it. I have to make 12 selections to buy a cup of coffee, for example. AND, I have to hunt the entire display after each selection to find the next selection I need to proceed. AND, there's no shortcut to the checkout.

I keep explaining this to managers and even owners, so they can put upstream pressure on corporate to roll out a fix. In the meantime, I take my business (NOT just cup o' coffee) to Burger King.

I have always thought that speed and pace of clicking were being evaluated along with accuracy... such that solving too quickly would indicate a 'bot, and fail the test.

... as we learned in Silicon Valley

His last name is Wardle, and he named the game Wordle... so, semi-clever.

I watch over-the-air TV because I don't have or need bandwidth for streaming. Surely, I am not alone.

Bingo. Since conservatives were one of DuckDuckGo's biggest user groups, it looks like damage control is now underway.

Amazon DID have an interesting plan in place... with Kohl's. For most of my history with Amazon, they would send you a pre-paid label for the return item. A year or two back, they switched to having you drop items off at the local Kohl's store -- you didn't even have to pack it into a box! A bulk shipment back to Amazon would seem to ease burden and expense. I thought it was genius.

One wonders what their arrangement was with Kohl's. I'm thinking it cost relatively little, since Kohl's would benefit from additional foot traffic (to the BACK of their stores).

The last return I did, though, was back to printing a return label.

(My return rate has been pretty small; I just bought a lot from Amazon. I'm dialing that back as much as possible, because I no longer see Amazon as very healthy for our retail system. We don't want to end up with ONLY Amazon to buy from.)

OK, ok, I should have read the entire summary before posting. Mea culpa.

Error in the first sentence, kind of funny for a tech news site: "The General Image Manipulation Program, GIMP, has turned 25."

You've ably supported the side you oppose.

Anyone that's ever endo'd on a bike, skateboard, etc. can tell you how unpleasant and really dangerous sudden deceleration is. On a device that leaves you exposed, it's your worst nightmare.

But, hey, when it does (rarely) happen, it's when you're going downhill, at high speed! And, that's when an endo is most dangerous.

"[I]n very rare cases -- usually riding downhill at top speed while hitting a pothole or other obstacle -- excessive brake force on the front wheel can occur, resulting in a scooter stopping unexpectedly."

Country?
Carrier?
Plan?

In the USA, I have been pretty satisfied with Cricket, $55 (after monthly $5 auto-pay discount) for 22GB. But, I might be able to live with 10 or 12 GB of high speed data.

Yeah, I've known for a couple of weeks at Amazon had disclosed my email address. I started getting spam emails from their affiliate sellers, trying to get me to do reviews in exchange for free merchandise or refunded purchase price. I logged into my Amazon account and verified that I did not have my email address showing publicly, so I knew there was a screw up somewhere.

Definitely a loss of functionality. I read the reviews a lot, when shopping titles outside my usual fare; shopping a new genre; trying to decide whether to take a chance on an obscure title, or some B movie I'd caught wind of.
