Unlimited SMS is on most cell phone plans nowadays, at least in Canada.

On a slightly different tack: I run a website, and I choose not to implement SMS for notifications - only email. Email is free. Adding SMS, even at $0.007 per message, could add up to big bucks.

Why does it need to read and write to my contacts?

We bought an HP laser printer a few years ago.. it drives me crazy in that when it goes to sleep mode, it never recovers, meaning you have to power cycle it to get it to respond again. Once it's power cycled, it's .. fine, although I curse it anyway since it's 2024 and how can they still make printers that still do this shit.

Anyway.

In Windows, on my wife's and kids' Windows PCs, it works most of the time but was a huge pain to set up with the stupid apps.

On Android, it works most of the time after setting up stupid apps.

On my Linux desktops, it worked perfectly out of the box on both of them. I couldn't believe it. One desktop is Manjaro and the other is Mint

Have you tried Remmina? I use it almost every day for my work machine. Works pretty well.

I think I found it by opening the software center and typing in rdp

Hugh Laurie?

I switched from Transmission to qBittorrent a while ago, and I have some regrets: mainly that the qBittorrent web ui is extremely hard to navigate on mobile. Everything is tiny, and I can't zoom in and navigate around the page without right-click menus popping up

I haven't used RSS except circa 2000 when I tried adding a feed to my browser one time.

Do you have any recommendations on how to get a newsfeed set up. Are there any recommended apps?

I remember visiting my friend while he was in the middle of installing a game, and it failed on the 10th of 10 disks

Also two good reasons for me as well.

It's strange that it doesn't report a Canadian flag on the graphic in the post heading though. Looks like Netherlands?

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Deep Rock Galactic

The Enterprise encounters a mysterious artifact at the edge of Federation space that triggers a distortion, overlapping with a race of short humanoid space dwellers.

At least she was honest about it up front. /shrug

There's more than a grain of truth to this one. It happened to me

https://www.boardgamearena.com has a bunch of board games, if you're into that. I've played a bunch using my phone, and it works just fine.

A number of games require a premium membership, but there's quite a few that are free

Go Go Go

112km in a 64km zone for all you metric folks.

Damn they must have been hungry.

In Ontario that's 2km short of a speed racing charge where they can seize your car and fine you $10000

I just switched to Usenet after using torrents for the past couple of years. The difference is night and day

I thought about that but having never looked too much into that subreddit, was curious to see what kind of garbage they spew before blocking
