the cheap flip phones are truly dollar-store build quality and cameras. mine has a crappy radio, it seems, too… nearly always roaming on another carrier’s nearby tower because it can’t pick up the vzn one just a couple miles outside of town.
the ‘rugged’ ones are built better and can take a literal beating and still work, but they cost as much as a recent model 128gb smart phone… and still have squat for storage and lousy cameras.


“Consumers can now choose whether to add Commodore’s custom-designed Hi-Def IEM earphones during checkout, rather than needing to pay for them when they may already own a pair they love. Premium memory will be available as an option, with Callback defaulting to rigorously stress-tested “post-consumer” high-speed memory chips, backed by Commodore’s identical, comprehensive 1-Year warranty.”
so… to lower the retail by $100… earbuds not included, and reclaimed ewaste memory chips (hopefully that does not also include the main storage) now the default configuration.


…meaning you shouldn’t be using any of them now, i guess.
i would trust a notepad file or spreadsheet on my pc over any online service.

the bits for the ‘upgrade’ have been flowing-in through regular updates for months, with features left disabled… slowing those updates every single month. the upgrade time was just spread out in installments, instead of being paid all at once.


they were on a street that is also carries state and u.s. highway designation, just past the municipal boundary. small town here, there literally are no ‘subdivisions’ or hoa anywhere around.


just walking a mile down a road i haven’t been down in years, i spotted two of them. there’s been absolutely no local coverage about it… and scanning local municipal and town meeting minutes for the last several years–not one mention of them.


lastpass is already on my ‘stay far away from’ list, and have been on it for years:


‘sales tax’ is collected and remitted to the state by merchants, but paid by the customer.

‘hybrid sleep’ does write the hibernate file before going into ‘sleep mode’. if you have an older system or one that doesn’t use ‘modern standby’ and you have an ssd, you might want to double-check that setting in your power scheme advanced settings.


the culprit is actually probably “fast startup” which writes a hibernate file every shutdown. every “normal” ‘shutdown’… close programs, logoff, hibernate, power off. this feature is unnecessary on systems with ssd but it continues to be enabled by default. it was created in the days of old to make hdd systems appear to boot up faster by not actually starting up windows on every power on.
hibernate isn’t enabled by default.
the other writer of hibernate data, hybrid sleep, doesn’t even exist on a newer system that uses ‘modern standby’… but is enabled by default on desktops that do not.


how long until they fill it in with concrete and paint that blue?
(then wonder why tf it ain’t “reflecting”?)


the ‘tower’ is only eight stories… it’s not a ‘skyscraper’, and is only one element of a near-20 acre campus that also has an athletic center, a branch of cpl, gardens, and a lot of open space.

well, they fired anyone that would have given a damn, or would know the chemistry and calculations. so what they gonna do? it’s not like this administration knows how to choose or hire knowledgeable, experienced, competent, and qualified persons. why didn’t they just hire another ‘pool boy’ to ‘fix’ it at a cost of $50 million for the ‘rush’ job? (less, of course, whatever gets kicked back under the potty chair).


caffeine has actual proven medical uses. it is also an active ingredient of numerous medications, including the otc anacin and the rx-only cafergot.


not that quickly… not enough time for them to set up the insider trading first.
