I think I spent most of my time in Trespasser checking my health...

I am sorry for your father. We just lost my neighbor and my wife's best friend last week to colon cancer. It hit us pretty hard. Everyone I had ever lost was sudden, here one minute, gone the next, from a heart attack, car accident, or such. Watching the slow, lingering, wasting away to nothing death was one of the hardest things I have ever went through. Cancer sucks, I hope this treatment proves beneficial so others do not have to go through what she did.

This seems more to be a forum than social media to me. I don't have friends or follow anyone and post no media. Slashdot would only be considered social media in the very broadest sense. I post on a few forums but have no social media presence at all in what is generally understood to be such, like Twitter, Facebook, et al.

Vivaldi user here too.
Ublock Origin
uMatrix since Chromium based browsers do not have No Script like I used in Firefox
I did have HTTPS Everywhere, but there is a bug in it that prevents you from seeing your Netflix DVD queue so I had to remove it. I still have a DVD plan as there are many titles I want to see that are available on streaming.

I didn't realize IMDB was that old. I remember getting a CD of Microsoft Cinemania in 1994, which was the best reference that I knew of for movies at the time. I think they came out with a new one yearly, but Internet databases such as IMDB could be updated easier and more frequently so they stopped publishing Cinemania.

Any file that started with $sys$ was hidden from the OS, so it didn't take long for people to start hiding malicious files if you had the rootkit on your system.

I have had the same thing with two back to back purchases on Steam. Valve won't let you buy two of the same game in a single transaction, so during a sale I bought one copy for myself and another copy for a friend, and the card was declined on the second purchase.

I do the same but get the DVD or Blu-Ray set instead of buying from iTunes. I can rip them to my Plex Media Sever and watch them on all of my devices.

But bacon-wrapped kiwi is soooooo delicious...

So guess that means I am even more unusual this year...

We still use a lot of whiteboards at work to collaborate on ideas. It's not chalk on a blackboard, but still serves the same purpose of displaying a drawing or diagram for multiple people to view and make comments.

The problem with giving out a fake password would be that the real user ends up locked out of sites or systems due to too many bad password attempts.

One problem is that how does the consumer know who are authorized resellers? Ubisoft doesn't have a list that I can find, so how do you know if a site is legitimate or not? It's hard to go by the old adage "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is" anymore, with so many sites having sales at cut rate prices on digital goods. I picked up a few "too good to be true" bargains last month during the Steam sales.

I have progressives and don't mind them after getting used to them. I actually read better with no glasses, but if I have my arm about halfway extended, then things start getting fuzzy. I use my glasses for long distance and for looking at the monitor since it is about 2 feet away, anything closer (reading distance) I take off the glasses.

They went from Word 2.1 to Word 5, mainly because Word Perfect was at version 5 and they didn't want to appear to be behind. I wonder if this is something similar - OS X vs Windows IX,
