Thank you. In the South here. Deep Deep South and it’s a hard question to answer. The majority of the violent crime here is committed by non-whites. The victims are also mainly non-whites. The problem is when it’s mostly one color appearing on the news and then folks do the math and realize the non-whites they see are…

I actually read on my Kindle more than anything.  Can’t tell you how many pulp books I own and have never cracked but have read the ebook several times.

Thanks for this.  My wife and I read quite a bit and our children 10 and 9 read when asked to.  I’ve been looking for a way to get them to read as most of the books we have are well above their levels.

my whole family (6 members of a family plan) uses google music on our phones and smart speakers (JBL). Now we have to see if it’s Spotify or U-Tube. Trying out the later now to see. May end up with Spotify, but I have tons of stuff on Google Play music. Not music actually. But tons of Audio books. Its a way of carting…

reason #57 to change from coffee to soda. get your sugar and your caffeine at once AND carry your own mug in, drop in the spot and select “with your knuckle” your poison and then watch it drop into your insulated mug. I take mine everywhere and I carry a hand “mister” full of rubbing alcohol. I’ve also mastered the…

I just tell my phone what to do when i want it to do it. “Hey Google! Turn off my ringer.” or “Hey Google! Turn on do not disturb.” I don’t even have a light by my bed anymore as I have a charging stand and I just say “Hey Google! Turn on flashlight.” Then the same to turn it off. I freaked out my sister-in-law when…

Setup a Google voice number then record whatever greeting you want. You can also text to and from it. I’m a married guy so I’ve no need of this but I’m a long-time Google voice user and this is what I’d advise my daughter to use if asked.

Windows 10 is by and far the best advertising for going to Linux I’ve seen so far. I persuaded my 78 year-old parents to go with it a year ago and all I could hear for the first hour was “It’s so fucking fast!” and “Why the hell isn’t everyone doing this!?!”. My mom has been using windows versions of Linux apps for…

same here.  i get ads for asian food because i stopped for pizza next door.  LOL!

I have chosen the path you state here myself. However I take a different approach. Why am I being tracked? It’s so I can see adds about fly fishing and motorcycling. You know, stuff I might actually buy and want. So I can be spared adds about dress slacks and the lastest kitchen miracle device. So I welcome the…

relying on ANY antivirus is a strategy that is fraught with danger. Its best to control what you load, click and open than to expect something else to make the decision for you. if it’s too tight you will find all kinds of walls in front of you and you won’t be able to do much. if too loose then why have it at all.
I’v…

eww.  clear enough?

portable version of spacesniffer as well.  wiztree not allowing network drive scans is a deal killer for me.

Windirstat portable works very well especially when integrated in the portableapps menu. Also Windirstat lets you scan network drives, Wiztree does not from what I can see. SpaceSniffer also allows network drive scans and is in real time unlike windirstat.

weird. i got my latest update on the 5th of Dec on my Verizon Pixel 3XL. Even used the new recorder a few times this week.  Am i confused and there is another coming out 10 days later?

yeah that’s how i deal with the home phone. we never pick it up while ringing. we screen all calls. so many times i call and i say “it’s me. Pick up pick up Pick up pick up Pick up pick up Pick up pick up Pick up pick up Pick up pick up Pick up pick up Pick up pick up Pick up pick up....”
 

you are my personal hero for the week.  a star for you sir/madam!

if they are Indian let them know they are building some serous bad karma and when their mother gets run over next week it’s because he/she is doing this for a living. I’ve had two literally apologize for calling.

google voice used to have this feature for years. I had different greetings based on groups. work got one, my family another, my friends yet another. But I had a blocked group that pretty much said “if you are hearing this then I’ve blocked you so I’m never going to hear your message nor call you back so just go ahead…
