Kitboga on YouTube baits "tech support" scammers who ask for gifs card codes as payment then he redeems them to himself (or fakes doing so with custom web sites), while they scream at him.

I'm comfortable using a terminal, but with my Linux machines s common pattern is:

Need to get some software working. Find how to fix it, edit some config files.

Months later I run a system update and it's starts asking me about merging the changes I made to various files. What were they for again? Are they still even necessary with the update or are the values I changed no longer used?

Then sometimes, something I installed is no longer supported, or needs a manual update because of how I installed it.

I always have to look at this one after that.

"False" is a slightly more accessible language, like Forth but using special characters instead of keywords.

One that sticks with me from chemistry classes: "Hot glass looks exactly the same as cold glass."

Maybe, but I suspect that Waze has a small fraction of the gmaps user base, so if it has compatible traffic info, it's because it draws on Google's data.

The one big draw of Google maps for me is the real-time traffic info. I don't think that anything else had the ability to gather the same amount of info (except maybe Apple?)

I can just leave a spare pair of wired earphones in the car, desk, bedside, or wherever and they're ready to use without having to constantly carry an earbuds case around. Now I have to buy an adapter for each one I might use. Keeping several spare BT earbuds charged would be impractical.

And the adaptor then blocks the charging port, which has sometimes been a problem.

Server side copies will only be attempted if the remote names are the same It sounds like that's only for storage systems that support move/rename operations within themselves, and isn't able to transfer between different storage providers.

Do you do much to maintain it? I always find that the Micra will loosen after a year or so and end up replacing it rather than hammering the rivet of the scissors to tighten it (especially since the blades get damaged and worn too).

There are some games that are genuinely aimed at being educational and fun, such as the Duck Duck Goose games. Or Starfall (from the website of the same name).

Maybe the second "DNS" should be "VPN":

The DNS is free. They advise users of their paid VPN not to use this DNS service as it already uses it behind the scenes.

I pay for OneDrive partly for the offline folders option, after I found that Google Drive didn't always keep files marked to use offline on my phone.

But recently I tried to view a file in an "offline" folder and it had to download it. I confirmed this in airplane mode with another.

Wow!

Southern California may be mostly dry, but has had several storms this year with inches of rain each. So even the"home" of Tesla needs to take that sort of weather into account.

It is that site, but for Google Fi users, it has an option to switch from being an interface to your phone (which includes RCS features) to an independent online service (much like Google Hangouts used to be). But selecting that option is only supported for Fi and it will not support RCS on either the website OR the phone.

See Options 1 and 2 here https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6188337?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid

I wasn't meaning to refer to hiking situation directly, just giving an example of how people don't always understand enough about a service to know if they should need to pay for it.

Sorry for the confusion.

And yet Google had not yet added RCS support to Google Fi "messages for web" (the service to access voice and sms without connecting to a phone) after several years.
