I remember having to run a tool that deleted then replaced the winsock registry entries on the machine with the default ones from XP to fix infections. Even if you got the binary files with spybot you’d still have a broken winsock half the

Uber crushed themselves in food. As a customer, I would get the wrong food about half the time in NYC even pre-pandemic. I complained and got a refund the first couple of times but then they stopped refunding me when it kept happening. Clea

Count me in to help. I have a knack for making the impossible possible. I’ve mentored EIT’s through Defy in the past. If you need clients I expect corp to corp agreements with established recruitment agencies would be a good place to start

I’m in NYC as well. I hate the noise from the Motocross dirt bikes and atvs that folks ride around on streets speeding and doing tricks on in the city. It used to be a problem primarily in midtown but it’s spread since they started cracking

I’ve owned smart phones since the treo. I’ve owned blackberry phones, windows mobile, even a palm pre. I’ve had nearly every iPhone since launch. I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Nothing makes me yearn for a smaller screen. I held an iPhone 3G
