mom always got her 'cut'....

as payment for driving us across town to the 'good' neighborhoods.

my knees and back say i don't need any further reminders. but thank you.

first boot: no i don't want a 365 trial.

still first boot: no i don't want 365 'basic', either.

(you should know this msa already has a one-off office license on it, you fuckwits)

and yea, still in first boot: no i don't want game pass trial.

then game pass notifications shortly after from the 'store'.

this was this past weekend setting up a new desktop with 11 pro.

upgraded here. no problems. didn't even notice the version increment until i went looking for it.

those were so long ago they're small enough that windows would still be able to format them fat32 even with its built-in limitations on formatting that filesystem.

what would be completely useless is scrolling through a larger flash drive' or card's files, one or two at a time.

didn’t go to full HD(or even 720p) on Firefox on Linux

you will run into similar restrictions on other services that use drm.

wouldn't it be funny if tiktok ended up overturning citizens united. infinitesimally small chance of it happening, but it would be fucking hilarious.

another $1000, paid out of the minnesota event proceeds, for skipping the graduation ceremony he was granted a day off from court to attend.

thankfully the pedal arrangement is the same.

the consumer always loses when industries consolidate into relatively few players.

judge harold t. stone would have him in lockup for contempt before the first commercial break.

nothing wrong with being an unnamed background character.

my old phones (going back all the way to the 'real' nokias) went a full month between charges. the last two with 4g volte suck so much power, it is every 2-3 days now, including my current hmd-made nokia (only a couple weeks old) with same capacity battery as what's stated in the article for the 'new' one.

it's a 'refurb', listings for those by third-party sellers are usually lacking in details, just saying 'ssd'--not what type or brand. technically, op got what he ordered.

it really depends on where and from whom you get it. i've seen laptops sold as 'brand new' that have been cracked-open by sellers and 'upgraded' to sata ssd from nvme (worked on one a few months ago a guy just bought as new off amazon, with no indication in the listing that it isn't as-built by hp originally); and i've seen more than a few 'refurbished' units (desktops and laptops) with cheap sata ssd used where nvme was available.

some am stations go dark (off the air) at night, even. there's a 'daytimer' near where i am. it's weird.

this was gonna happen.

most of the 'conservative' far-right congregations in the u.s. broke-off from umc over the last several years.

at least half the drivers (out of the many) that don't stop at the crosswalk i'm trying to use on my way to or from the office (my commute is a short walk. the street is the 'main drag' in a small town's downtown) either have their phone in their hands or are looking down (and i can't actually see the phone).

i have a flip phone. i don't use sms, but occasionally i make a quick note in the little 'notepad'. the good ol' tap-tap-tap is more efficient than its horrible predictive text.
