I know. Thanks.

I'm not a fan. I like to control my data and I don't trust Big Tech to do it for me.
Thank you! I have documents that I need to attach to a website that are not web based. It's frustrating.
I'm with you 99% on this one. I do back up my contacts to Verizon's servers, but they already have access to all of that via their TOS agreement. I'm seriously thinking of switching carriers after 26 years as a customer. I can get the same plan using the same towers for around 1/2 the cost of my Verizon plan.

I have been using Ting for yrs ... I also used Straight talk as well
With Ting you can pay for, what you use ... they call this the Flex plan.
The massive scope of the "data centers" being built around the country is amazing. As is also their power consumption...
That sounded stupid, too.
The more baffling part is that she tries to EXPLAIN it. I've seen a few here and on this thread - if they don't get it, they're good with saying, I don't get it. I have a son who is cognitively impaired - he is ALWAYS trying to "explain" things he doesn't understand. Now with HIM, it's because in his mind, there's no wall between his imagination and reality - if he believes something, it becomes fact to him.
The only other type of person I know who does this is - an actual idiot. Someone who cannot bear the thought of admitting they don't know.

she’ll pop on about 11 o’clock this morning to demonstrate.
There's a strange calculus to all of the big name "rising stars" in the Democratic Party almost all of whom have decided NOT to be her VP.
They either see a loss in November, or a win playing second fiddle to what appears to be just about the stupidest person to run for President.

They don't care if you are a fan, they care about you paying to rent software instead of own it. Why should you be allowed to use Office '97 forever for the one-time price of $99 when you could be required to pay $69 a year for Office 365.
Why should they let you print documents until your ink runs out when instead they can keep track of how many pages you printed and require you to buy a new ink cartridge to continue even if the old one had 20% of the ink left?
If they could get away with issuing you dumb terminals that didn't even have an OS and make you pay every time you turned your computer on and for every application you use they would (and eventually will).

Just sneakin' around....
Been there. That's how nearly all computing was done prior to the PC. "Centralized computing". IBM, DEC, Control Data.... all did this. Charged for the time connected. Charged for compiling a program. Charged for editing.

I remember. But this wasn't done for your average Joe citizen.
