It's about twenty years away

The day I give a shit what Mark Fuckerberg thinks or says is, well, not today.

I informed my company, at the start of this week, that I would be working from home for the duration.

I got two favorable responses.

Management has taken it in stride.

Yeah, just which author/tale evades me at the moment, but the terms "vat chops" and "vat steaks" were featured in some sf novel I read.

Prolly Heinlein.

How does it react to OpenBSD?

How is the number of subscribers one has on YouTube even a thing that people care about? Isn't there something even slightly more important they could be pursuing?

I'm baffled.

The more important candidates are AT&T (again!), Verizon, and Comcast.

Before Microsoft bought it, It was more of a meeting and news site. Sucked only a little. But also the source of several gigs, so I'm not complaining.

It started going downhill about six months after Microsoft bought it. Now TFA gives an accurate description. I used to have browser tab open there all the time. Now I go there once or twice a year. And respond to (almost) all connection requests with, "Have we met?" Usually the last I hear from them.

That same, "um, not me," is all that's necessary with my bank's debit cards, as well. I suspect that it's because the card is also a Visa card. They called me three weeks ago with a suspicious transaction. I said, "um, not me," and that was it. The $817.43 charge was gone, the card number revoked.

The worst part was that I had to wait about ten days for a new card/number.

Really not a big deal. With weight transfer, the harder you brake, the larger share of the stopping is done by the front wheels anyway.

I disabled the rear brake on my race bike. As did many other racers. Sure, the needs of street vehicles is different, but in most circumstances, front brakes only is adequate.

what an asshole.

I suspected they pulled shit like this. I've had it only a month or so, but now I'm even more gratified that I set their router up in bridge mode, and kept my internal routers as they were.

Of course, it helps that my U-Verse service is only for a 'net connection. If y'all have it for TV and/or phone as well, I imagine it gets trickier.

After reading the comments here, and noting the level of caring, consideration and sympathy for a family going through very difficult circumstances, I've concluded I should never die.

Your experience sounds very unusual. This can't be normal, or everybody would be screaming. Maybe you just have a lemon phone. It happens, and Apple should make it right. It's got a year of Apple Care. Fix the phone, rather than bitch about it.

"This article at finder puts forward the case that Nintendo will be stepping back into the virtual realty game ..."

I suppose property values are prohibitively expensive.
