I am so tired of being told to “monitor your credit report”. How? Every month pull a report (and pay) from all three agencies? Or do I check it once a year since You only get 1 free report from each agency a year? It can take weeks for a something to show on a report. If I pull my report December 1st, and something…

Free freezes for all (for all bureaus), it’s the only way. Imagine “freezes” being the default, and you authorize specific creditors to check your credit via an app. This needs to be forced on them. #FreeTheFreeze

Thanks for this Melissa! Do you happen to know if I need to enroll in the ID theft protection if I have frozen my credit?

are they gonna start auto-charging you when your 90 days are up?

Thank you Lifehacker. It’s typical of CrashPlan’s attitude toward consumers (ancient GUI, non-Mac-friendly file structure) that I found out this news here rather than from the company that’s taking $100+/year from me. Though they did send me, out of the blue, an upsell last week ...

If they’re willing to do this to such a large chunk of their existing userbase, it makes me wonder about their long-term dependability. I certainly wouldn’t use their small business plan after a move like this; I’d be stuck with a lingering concern they might pull a similar stunt in a few short years and move to an…

I have Crashplan and got the email with this announcement yesterday. I then spent well over an hour with both Crashplan’s and Carbonite’s customer support. The email said that we would get a good 50% initial discount for either Carbonite’s Home or Core services. But, every time I click the link on the email, I was…

I was hoping for something like this article, but was hoping it would be a little more in-depth.

The thing I miss most about when I lived in Canada (aside from abundance of poutine options) is ketchup chips. All dressed chips were on that list, too, but they finally brought them down to the US. Candy wise, probably Aero bars (and those are far from anything fancy) and Coffee Crisp (ironic, since I don’t like…

Confused But Loving,

Listen to the Doc on this one, friend. While it’s completely normal to find yourself attracted to more than one person (even within the context of a relationship), acting on that attraction has both immediate and long-term consequences for you, the person you’re with, and the person you’re…

Birdie and Bogey sharing my lap

Twizzler here has found his own puzzle, this other cat behind the glass that seems to mimic his every move.

That’s all there is to it folks. Marlena’s way. Seriously, it works every time. No muss, no fuss, no pots & pans... and no watery mess to add to your clean up.

Because invading people’s privacy and compromising their financial information = “FREEDOM”; amirite? Ah, to be young, idealistic and stupid.

Any help for people with Firefox? Lifehacker’s actually been the worst with the Pokemon shit, especially because I expect more from this site..

Well, how to block Pokemon GO posts on Lifehacker? I don’t see a button or a plugin for that...
