Keeping in mind my perspective is as someone who helps clients with these—and I also have a tech company background, so I understand how anti-spam systems are built. I don’t have any inside knowledge. Google likely uses privacy cards as one

I have background here and can take a pretty good guess at what happened. You used a Brex card, which Google sees as a “privacy card.” These are often used by scammers trying to circumvent Google blocking their credit card account numbers.

If by chance the author reads this, I’d recommend looking into whether he is autistic. This sense of not fitting in, of not enjoying small talk, and of feeling like an “alien” or very different than most others is common in the autistic com

It was certainly not easy. I took 5 weeks off of work! It’s not in my nature to stop working for so long, so that was a strange experience. Recovery has been good. I look better now, so that’s awesome...a good side effect! I have some remai

Double jaw surgery. I had it last year for sleep apnea. I am not overweight, but had recessed jaws. If you do too, the surgery is worth pursuing.

FYI, Twitter supports Google Authenticator as well.

Yes, exactly. This is just like Uber and self-driving cars…only instead of “this will lower our costs and finally make us profitable!” it’s “this is another platform where we can have infinite growth!” It’s a tacit acknowledgement that the

I received one of these as well, but the wording was different. From reading this, it sounds like the one I received was the one they send when they aren’t confident they have the correct email address. I didn’t respond. Here’s the email (I

New cars aren’t available due to chip shortages, which enhances demand for used cars. That being said, if you happen to have an extra car, now is probably the best time to sell it in recent history.

All of these would be "verified purchase" reviews. The scammy seller refunds you through PayPal after you post the review.

I used to use and love iStockPhoto. I discovered DepositPhotos through an AppSumo deal, switched, and never looked back. Even their regular prices are better than iStock for similar photos.

I filled out the request form for Austin, TX. I definitely think this would be popular here. Best of luck!

As a repair shop owner, I can shed some light on this. The iPhone X battery is relatively simple to replace as a third party. The only negative is that the phone won’t be as water-resistant as before; though we do replace seals, it won’t be

Try Kiwi for Gmail. I liked it enough that I paid for it. It uses a browser, so it has the standard Gmail tricks, but it has its own UI so you don't have a million browser tabs open.

I think you’re misreading our situation. We run phone and computer repair shops as our primary business. Uber is his part-time side gig. We do pay into unemployment, as we are both salaried workers of our own business. He did not take unemp

My husband drives for Uber, and I’m glad the proposition passed as it is. He drives the way Uber was originally envisioned. He goes out some nights if there’s a surge, and in the morning on the way to work he points the app toward our store

I’m pretty sure PlugWalkJoe is behind this. Someone here mentioned the “dead” account on IG and I remembered, for some reason, Krebs talking about that in his article about the Twitter crypto attack. Either this was a SIM swap or someone in

No, you need the original proof of purchase for Apple to unlock a device for you, and it has to be in your name. I run repair shops and we have had this conversation hundreds of times from customers. People buy iCloud locked devices from

I run independent repair shops for a living, and we do board-level repair. In general, when training techs I tell them to start with the easiest possible solution and work up from there. Since MacBooks are so heavily-integrated (so much is

Coming to this late, but wanted to offer my condolences and a friendly ear if anyone reading this is dealing with FTD in a friend or relative. My dad was diagnosed in his 60’s with FTD and declined for years until he passed away in January.
