Windows has been broken for decades, essentially since the scsi bug appeared and they didn't care about fixing it. That was what, 23 years ago? They don't fix things. They just keep marching along, new bells and whistles, to keep the general population thinking that they are 'upgrading' their...

So basically, if I create a machine with 10 TB of ram, and a 10 TB SSD, the new versions of operating systems will read the whole hard drive and cache it to the ram. Whether I ever run those programs or not. So whatever new computer I build, is obsolete the moment I build it? Unless I have more...

It's not that it was broken, or malfunctioning. It's that the apps had auto updated, but those apps wouldn't work with the outdated iOS, and they take the older app versions off of the itunes store, so that left me with a phone and fewer and fewer apps that would work on it. Enforced...

Oh, Apple support is great! Their response when things stopped working? 'Just buy a new phone, we have a nice $800 one right here!' Planned obsolescence on a 3 year old device that cost a bundle. I'll never buy another Apple product.

I think one of the things you may have missed, was this: "these studies suggest". You will come across lots of qualifiers, which indicate that they aren't sure; it's currently just a 'best guess'. And we can't just assume that those are correct guesses. We see a lot of that in scientific...

I'm a nurse, I'm not paranoid about disease. I just know the proper preventative measures which should be taken. And despite not getting into medical school, I did take all the same science courses which someone who is interested in diseases, would take. SOME viruses have a shorter surface...

Okay, I'm in Arizona. First few years, phone continued as normal. About a year ago, it started giving me emergency alerts in English AND Spanish, but the audio was only in English. A few months later, it started doing the audio in Spanish as well, following the English. Now it's only doing the...

It's this kind of disinformation, which helps the foil hat community to remain susceptible to diseases and then spreading them, by believing foolish things. Viruses don't 'die' because they're not alive. They can remain intact for, well, potentially forever, depending on what it is. They don't...

The only cheap ones I found were either refurbished or open box. But if you have a source, go for it.

So where are you getting them today?

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-easystore-12tb-external-usb-3-0-hard-drive-black/6425301.p?skuId=6425301 Not sure what's inside, but better than refurbished drives.

I already found those threads. I gave up on Friday, and just went through and deleted all the apple double trash. So far, so good. I'd just like to know how it got there. Changed all my passwords on things which access my network at home, just in case. Still, everything points to some type of...

Occurred today, this afternoon. Timestamp of directories are when I wasn't accessing that NAS with anything. I shut down every other device on the network in the meantime. The only new device I have is a Fire 10 hd tablet which I just got, used, but supposedly had been reset before I got it...

Because lots of people buy things repeatedly, but don't want to 'subscribe' and get something automatically delivered every week / month. I buy parrot treats or toys three or four times a year. They remind me every friggin' week. Easier to just delete the emails and ignore the suggestions, than...

Looking for a cookie manager, which will load a page with a list of current cookies with check boxes next to them, which I can then 'select all' and then tick off the ones I don't want to delete, and then just click something which deletes all of the rest. Right now, I have to go into chrome and...
