Drug companies will just do what they always do and increase the price of insulin, or epi-pens to make up the difference.

This was my policy during the last few elections. If you text spammed me, you lost my vote. That does not mean that your opponent got the vote, it just means that you lost it. Most of the political spam comes from private numbers doing texting to blocks of numbers, so I was glad to tell them they had actually lost my vote, then blocked their number.

Local news was reporting that gun shops had been robbed after the power went out. Interviewed authorities described it as, "Well organized."

Here's how they are trying to monetize it.

Last week, I asked about the daily weather and after her spiel, she told me that she had some great holiday gift giving ideas and asked if I wanted to hear them. No, not really, I want to hear from the folks who will be getting the gifts, not from your highest profit margin stuff that no one wants. Does not seem to be any way to get her to stop, so maybe the plan is if you don't let her pitch her gift ideas, you'll get sick of beaing asked about them and unplug.

I too have been toying with credit scores that are unrelated to credit. Right now I call the prototype, "A Random Number Generator."

I understand the probability aspect of this, but if you think I am allowing those ultra secure credit bureaus access to my browsing history, yeah, think again. This will not be an issue as soon as the first senator see his credit score drop by 200 points when he refuses to share.

Too little, too late. I stopped using/updating Samsung apps a long time ago due to the bloat/ads/etc. Since that time I have learned to live without that feature, or found other ways to get it. I won't be updating/activating any Samsung ads anytime soon. Did I say ads? I mean apps. Any Samsung Apps.

Seems to be hit or miss on that. Some of those emails I get are clearly tied to accounts (they have the same name in them). Some companies apparently do not check if an email already exists (yes, I have received multiple Verizon bills in the same month, none of them mine), then you get the truly asinine. Just this afternoon, AT&T sent me 5 emails. I do not have an account with them (never have), and one of them was a confirm your change of email address message. Yes, someone changed their AT&T account email to mine. nd then, before confirming, AT&T sent out 4 more emails? Who ever is designing the email systems for these places need some courses in logic. I am torn between confirming the email, taking over the account and canceling it, or ignoring it and seeing how many more emails AT&T will send.

And my point is that there seem to be scads of person out there who just use "random" email addresses and then those poor persons get all the spew (without confirming that they want the crap). The person above me said that "every confirms email addresses" and that is just not the case. Optimum Cable spammed me for 3+ years for someone else's account, I had to do a corporate email campaign to finally get them to stop.

This is just not true. I have a gmail address that regularly receives emails from Verizon, AT&T, Best Buy, Comcast, Home Depot, U-Haul, Allstate, SiriusXM, and many others. Not to mention all the spew from Sendgrid, Mailgun, Mailchimp, Mailjet, and again, many others. I do not have account with any of these companies, I have never signed up for any mailing list with this address, and not a single one of them have ever once confirmed the email address. They get it, and spam it.

I really do not understand why Amazon does not include a string field on a review that they populate with the name of the item beign reviewed. That would make a lot of the reviews for other items" issue a lot more obvious. Couple that with a simple way to report a single review for being not applicable, and Amazon can offload 90% of the work to their customers.

The parody account(s) were not impersonating Nunes. Impersonation is against twitter rules, and by fact that those account still exist says that at leas twitter did not see them as such. I think it is more dangerous when an elected official tweets fake information.

Exactly how many times has a "Facebook mistake" favored someone other than the company? Those are not mistakes, it's a pattern.

So, you mean to tell me that all this time the McAfee stuff on my PC wasn't ransomware?

I have a Galaxy S8 and have not seen any ads either, but then again I also DO NOT update the Samsung apps. If possible I disable them. All the Samsung apps are the same version they have had for 12+ months, so no ads. Maybe try backing out of the upgrades and disabling the auto-update will help those who are having ad-issues.

I think for most of us, we can all agree that LinkedIn's usefulness covers about 10% of what LinkedIn thinks is useful for us.
