are still better than Samsungs. I have a 7T Pro I bought at the end of 2019 that still almost runs fine. I've only noticed in the last month or so that the battery life is really starting to affect its use. That stability has outperformed any of the Samsungs I've had in previous years.

No, but they're both grifters who think they are smarter than anyone else on the planet.

Stripping the FCC of being able to levy fines renders the department pointless.

Woohoo! PIRATE RADIO EVERYWHERE!

It's also completely tone deaf that a rep suggested opening an account. Uhm, no?

Guessing OP was sarcasm and if it wasn't.. Oof.

My wife and her friend got text message alerts from Instagram saying someone was asking for a password reset a few days ago and I got an email yesterday... So now we know why.

I had the similar experience trying to sell something just as innocuous on Facebook Marketplace. It was either a walker or a wheelchair, I can't remember which, but FB claimed the item was against their rules, yet I could find similar items up for sale. Huh?

Unfortunately this is true about Facebook Marketplace taking over Craiglist list..

When I want to unload items for cheap, I often find myself selling through Facebook, although I do get responses on Craigslist. That reminds me, I've gotten so Pavlov'd into using Craigslist to give away "moving boxes" that I completely neglected to try Facebook. It also may explain why it takes a few days for someone to respond, when a few years ago I'd get three or four calls within hours of putting up the ad. (I live in Los Angeles, btw)

Mixed bag response .. I was an avid reader in high school (late 80s), but there was a lot of garbage and quality books I was forced to read. I don't recall hating Of Mice and Men, and the Pearl was depressing as fuck, but I didn't hate it. What I did hate was the Great Gatsby and The Scarlet Letter. Both are atrocious American literature. My wife, ten years younger, loves the Great Gatsby. It could be the fact that I had to read it through the whole symbolism lens, which ruined any potential enjoyment of it. Another book I had to read was To Kill A Mockingbird, and I absolutely love that book, as well.

While the whole time my preference was Science Fiction and Fantasy. I read through LoTR by the time I was 15, dove into a bunch of fluff Anthony's Xanth books, which I realize are just total fluff, but his Incarnations series was good.. I think? And then of course I got into "harder science" and reading, like Asimov and Herbert as I got older and into my late teens/early 20s.

I tend to agree that if give kids a chance to pick what they want to read, they'll find it far more interesting. Granted, I probably wouldn't have ever read To Kill a Mockingbird on my own, so there is something to be said about that, as well.

Don't download random extension you really dont know anything about just because they may sound helpful.

How very pavlovian. You clearly need a break from the website since it lives rent free in your head.

Missed this post since busy yesterday, but I thought I'd add to it.

I'm in my mid-50s. I've always been attracted to electronics/computers/etc. Was customizing my own computer builds from roughly 1990 on, always been into video games. My wife who is ten years younger than me thinks I'm more married to my phone than her.

I mostly play two mobile games that have a "social" aspect to them in that there are teams. In both games, as I've gotten to know some of the details of the team members in both games, and a good half of the 30 in each are over 50. There are several in their 70s, probably 3-4 in each game. There's definitely a social outreach happening with the older generations and these games that I think is perfectly fine and helpful.

And Linux has started including Rust, so...

Are we sure Windows 11 will still be supported by 2030?

So is someone gonna get sued for those two deaths?
