“BTW my ‘location services’ is off 99% of the time.”
Mine’s off, too, except when using GPS which is about twice a year. I believe “they” can still find you, though. I think it was John Stossel who did a program about this. Location turned off, phone completely turned off — doesn’t matter.
Neither did I but this is what they sent me to make up for being too stupid to fix the 18.
Turned out to just be bad RAM but disassembling it is SO sketchy, I worry that I may have nudged something on the MOBO that is now throwing “new” errors about that.
I’m just not in the proper headspace right now to go back inside of it.
My hands would shake if I tried.
I’ve never played an online game...on purpose.
*Once*, not knowing what it was, I played “Internet Checkers” and had no idea somebody else somewhere was doing the other moves until they ‘said’ something to me after the game was over.
I squeaked and slammed that thing shut and now I delete ALL the “internet” games immediately, when I reinstall an OS.
How many of these folks in power had their formative years listening to the Doors?
“They got the guns, but we got the numbers.....”
“We want the world, and we want it now!”
Ya know how you shop online inventory instead of running from store to store and the thing asks if it can use your location to find your local store?
Mine has NO idea WTH I am.
Different states, different coasts, once another country.
God forbid they ever have to triangulate my phone if I’m lost or injured.
They’ll be be looking somewhere in Kansas.
“I miss my old Motorola Star-Tak. It was indestructible and stupid.”
I miss my old Motorola V60s from around 2005. I loved it so much I couldn’t bear to get rid of it, so it lives in one of my drawers. I wonder if it’ll still connect ... I don’t think so.
“The Deep State was looking for a massacre.”
My tagline.
NOWWWWWWW!!!!
“The only thing missing is AntiFa running with large rolls of ‘zip ties’ to be used as restraints “
A FReeper posted that he/she had seen a pic with a guy holding a handful of zip ties.
So are mine.
Something about the software versus the type of signal, now.
I dunno.
If only they could.
I am so sick of cradling this damn fragile iPhone like a hummingbird egg every time I have it with me.
“I’ll go back to Win XP. Play ball.”
And play Pinball. XP had a neat Pinball app on it. Also the best sound recorder.
it ain’t a “I” phone...its a “We” phone...and Wedecided you need “your” update...
“Ya know how you shop online inventory instead of running from store to store and the thing asks if it can use your location to find your local store?”
That does happen when I shop online, on the PC. I always “X out” of that dialog box. Have never shopped online, done banking, used email, etc., with a cell phone.
Well played.
And as a side note, on the laptop that I have disabled updates in every possible way, a notification just popped up and said a restart was required to finish the update I specifically forbade.

I miss Win98 screensavers.
I used to sit and watch the maze one just to see the rat run by and 3D Tubes was calming.
[XP “Bubbles” was cool, too]
I don’t think Windows 10 [Microsoft Dix, in French] even has screensavers except for slideshows.
Meh.
I liked the little dog, and Clippy. And DOS.
No, wait!
It has Bubbles!
I need to save gas.
:D
/shamed Freecell junkie
I. Hated. Clippy.
LOL
