flip phones have those, but i've never had to swap one. the longest i've had one before it broke was ~ 7 years and a charge still lasted about half as long as when it was new (2 weeks vs 4).
they actually fit in a pocket and last a lot longer between charges. i don't 'need' the internet on me 24/7, so i'll keep getting those as long as they're still made.
inflation-adusted, the federal minimum wage peaked way tf back in february 1968 at $1.60 an hour (equal to $13.46 in '2022 dollars').
i guess you could call this copypasta 'vintage'. it's over ten years old.
2003 was also littered with browser toolbars, animated gif ads, scam links, popups, adware, viruses and worms, and purple apes. gotta go back another 10 years to get to the 'websites were just websites' era.
browser-based 'clients' with large directories and large numbers of files in a single multi-file upload are going to choke. you need binary bits on the parents' end, such as a dedicated backup or sync utility.
if you could populate your server with their existing files using a physical drive, that would be better, and perhaps faster and easier, too--then a browser-based upload solution could probably handle the much smaller 'updates' of new stuff. have them consolidate all the existing files on one external (plus also on a second for a local backup). hell, you could do that bit via remote desktop and all they'd need to do is connect the drives and let you in. then somehow get one of those drives to you (ship, deliver, you pick up. whatever is feasible).
these new rules have nothing to do with how the bad guys obtain targets' phone numbers, they're about how they get assigned phone numbers.
same here. have always used the basic ui.
it's basically just a imap client with a few googlized aspects like labels that mimic folders and some non-ui dependent features (imports and filters, etc).
nixing basic html gmail is just another piece of the maximize monetization puzzle. these users weren't getting the "full" google experience with all the ad-driven "features" and script-driven tracking of the "full" web client.
it's winter that is just weeks away.
i understand they don't want to pay, but would $12.00 for a full year be cheap enough to consider? ovh has a new customer deal going for 2gb ram/20gb storage vps. $0.97 a month for the first year, and you can add up to ten of those to a single new account.
the 'channels' you pay extra for now? that'll probably be up to the individual provider of that programming and their future deals with amazon to be on the platform.... but the infrastructure for them to add ads is there.
'free with ads' is literally free to watch, with ads, no prime membership requirement. a prime membership won't shed the ads there now.. or next year. it's a different selection of programs or a separate service (like freevee, aka imdb tv).
you'd have to nationalize hardware production and service. for-profit companies would not accept a zero-profit decade-long obligation like that.
