One of the weirdest things about using Google services today: going into any "share" menu and being confronted by old pictures of people in your contacts list, created back when everyone made a Google+ account during that particular "let's quit Facebook!" phase.

@baldur See: Snapchat (2018)

@nolan Very neat article. I was interested in the Light Phone, but I would want texting on a qwerty keypad, at least.

As soon as Nokia releases a new "dumbphone revival" model that has a qwerty keypad, I'm leaving my smartphone behind. Seriously.

@evilscientistca Sounds like the promise given by an evil galactic overlord!

"I promise, there won't be hardly any collisions. Just a few. You'll be fine. Just let my galaxy slam into yours. Come on, don't be a wimp."

@melunaka @CobaltVelvet This is an amazing solution -- I still have very major sites/companies still sending passwords through email. :(

@jaranta Ugh -- as a small publisher myself, I can relate with this.

@maloki @noelle If you're wanting brand new, sometimes! If you're hard up for money, I'd recommend recycling parts off of eBay as much as possible.

@noelle Know anyone who can build you a desktop locally? You can save big bucks.

@sylvia_ritter Thanks!

@srol ARCHANDROID (sp?)

@ajroach42 Yep -- next time I'm helping a relative with an older computer that's getting long in the tooth, the first thing I'm just doing is trying to install Ubuntu from now. I'll install Chrome, and just tell them "It's a Chromebook -- have fun"

@tinker Wow. I read that article, and I'm still kinda confused. So, as I understand it, this man was selling people a way to restore Windows on a computer, if they already had a license, right? He wasn't selling licenses at all?

Yeah, given the trouble I've had trying to restore Windows OEM licenses in the past when I've done reinstalls, I can see why they went after him. Microsoft probably makes good money each year selling new Windows licenses to people who (probably) don't need them.

@trm @Cryoclaire
Also, weird question -- what's the third letter in the second word in the "meat" sign? :p

@Tanuki My parents are the same way. The TV is _always_ on. Either a sitcom about law enforcement, or the news.

@puppy @theoutrider Maybe not at first. :p

@puppy @theoutrider It's like they're thinking "HAHAHAHA All of you have to buy this crap no matter what"

@dukhovni To talk with the people you know and love. :p If you can do that over SMS, do it. I've sometimes considered it.

@Cryoclaire Neat! Full disclosure, I have no idea how to speak it. :p
