My biological mother died yesterday. I didn’t know her as well as I would have liked to because I found her only three years ago, but I loved her, and now I wish I’d called her much more often than I actually did. I thought I’d have many ye

It was mostly an issue with memory use in Safari. Might be due to the kind of web sites she visits, with tons of video and animated adverts. Restarting Safari always fixed the issue. Anyway, I got tired of her complaining and got her the 16

I'm not an Oracle fan, but what Oracle product did DynDNS compete with? It seems more likely that they bought the people/tech for the Oracle cloud effort and didn't care at all about DynDNS business, which seemed like pretty
