  • So maybe you just jumped to spew your cumload into the conversation, but the original person to whom I replied indicated that it was specifically their friends they were socializing with. And sorry if this sounds too grandpa to you, but tweeting is not a friendship. I see how many young kids these days have “friendships” online but in the real world they couldn’t give a shit about one-another. That’s not friendship.

    So, what I was saying to that person is that for your actual real life friends is not a reason to stay on Twitter. Go get together in person and interact the way humans have for the past half million years.

    Oh but excuse me for being a grandpa because obviously the toxic and impersonal method of socializing you kids do today is just so much cooler than the way it’s been done for half million years. Clearly, Homo Sapiens was just lame. It’s so lucky that the little brats of today have come along and we’ve finally been given the gift of wisdom of pimpled tweens to know how to relate to one-another: facelessly, voiceless, distanced and atonal on a screen.








  • That’s not how software works, dude. Programs are a series of precise instructions, and a computer will always follow what the instructions say, exactly, unless something interferes.

    There’s no luck involved, ever. Luck is also an imaginary construct.

    It could be a variety of causes on your end, and I saw many people make suggestions to you as to identifying and resolving the problem, but you refused all of them.

    You want to hate Dropbox and you want others to join you. I do not know the reason, but this is the only conclusion available based upon your behavior.

    We are here if you are willing to troubleshoot to achieve the results you desire.






  • Well remember when they were making those really cheap inkjets that would only work with windows. And some companies made “win-modems” that were super cheap because they didn’t have a certain chip and instead used a windows driver.

    I’m not completely positive what the incentives were on their parts, but I had thought this was history already. Seems Microsoft has to resort to this kind of shady deal to stay relevant, since their OS is a pile of toxic waste and many people are going completely microshaft free.

    Also, although I have a fondness for some legacy HP products that are really nice, I would absolutely never buy a new product from them ever. I haven’t since the early 2000s.



  • There have been some small phones that run Android over the years. These days it’s less common I suspect because the devices are used for so much more these days. Having more of our lives involving the mobile smart device makes a larger screen just more sensible.

    But over the years there have been some. I have a few in my collection. I think Nokia has had some. Also a couple of Sony Ericsson Xperia models I think. Some others too.

    But current tech I just don’t think manufacturers want to bother because I don’t think the potential customer base is good enough to be able to make it worth making.



  • I have used both for many years and everything has worked absolutely as intended and I’ve had no problems.

    Maybe not everyone knows what they’re doing completely? Maybe many people do something wrong by mistake but don’t know it? Or do, but they’re impatient? Or they get frustrated because they don’t want to fix their problem on their own and expect the product to be totally idiot-proof?

    As an IT professional for several decades, I can attest this is the problem like 80% of the time.
