I was using the tablet computers when they first came out (2003?) and I remain a fan to this day - all of my subsequent laptop purchases have consisted of models with a Wacom stylus and the ability to take notes with a pen. While the Transm

I really find it sad that people try to kill ideas like this, irrespective of their intent and motivation, though I'd also like to understand these at some point. At HP, I once suggested charging customers for features they'd like

Best way to get customer service from brands. The CS at TMobile is terrible, for e.g., but their team on Twitter takes care of things properly and swiftly.

You now know what the status of your payout would have been had you chosen to violate your NDA. There is no honor among thieves, apparently.

Hopefully they are on their last hurrah after exploiting current customers with their nasty markups, including for pre-orders, due to the current shortages. Looking forward to seeing how Ford executes on its plans to get them out of the loo

This is true, but if you run into an officious gatekeeper, they will block you 'while they get the approval of the manager' before they will allow you to proceed. I hate going to Costco stores generally but their online operation

Plus one thing that gets forgotten in dense housing is that most of them are infested (1) with HOAs (home owner associations) and associated 'management companies' that work hard to suck up the residents hard-earned funds. They, l

Sounds like a great way to prevent brain death brought about by the WMD (weapons of mental destruction) such as infini-scroll, etc.

I wonder if the GP is saying that you don't necessarily have to provide your real dob etc. to vendors that coerce you in this manner. I mean, don't you want to imagine a world in which you were born on Feb-29 of some suitable leap

NextDNS, which I've been using for over 2 years now, might help in your endeavor. In addition to its stock lists of lookup rules, you are allowed to customize your own blacklists/whitelists.

I haven't noticed this on other brokerages yet - they all seem to follow a model of 2fa-on-unknown-devices/locations so far. But maybe this is where things are going?

The plugin Distract-Me-Not on Firefox really helped me define rules that helped discipline. I admit I sometimes defeat its rules, such as now, but that is cumbersome to do and time-limited. Excellent plugin.

Agree - at best one gets used to commercials, like dirt in the house until the vacuuming can happen, but one never enjoys them. I didn't realize how much I hated ads until I tried Netflix a few years ago - I've never been able to

I've seen this position a lot throughout this thread and I have a question: all of these apps (whatsapp, signal, etc.) appear to be "free" - how do you suppose they will make money? In the US, the users of sms/mms/i

I agree with you there - commuting, especially in the form of "everyone needs to be in the office by 9am", which leads to gridlock on the transport mechanisms and a completely avoidable collective waste of time, is a pretty cruel

I live in a city/state where public transportation is actively inconvenient and even then I made a considerable effort to take it and avoid driving when I could. The waste of time and brain capacity sitting behind a steering wheel like
