I miss my Treo 650, and 700. Smartphones before companies stole the term and made the devices dumb

They are, but only if you’re a diplomat
FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Micro$oft when I try to enjoy my local drive in peaC:\5·3 hours agoI’ve never had an account… not sure what weirdness you experienced but I’ve never once been pestered or asked for a login. Infact, the only thing I get is the ‘lets finish setting up windows’ full screen trash, which is just a window and I can alt-f4 to close. It’s been years like that.
FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Micro$oft when I try to enjoy my local drive in peaC:\2·3 hours agoCan confirm. I have never had W10P bug me about OneDrive. I don’t have, nor will I ever have an account for microshit. Local user only. All files stored locally and have never been promoted to do otherwise.

Uhhh screw respect in this instance? If this kid says something to someone, you could be arrested and brought before a court even if nothing happened. They clearly are already lying about the whole scenario. Burn that bridge, asap. I’d even possibly involve parents so they know what’s up. Clear the air before some teen gossip happens and things get out of control.

FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secureEnglish95·1 day agoDown voting security apps of choice is a weird decision…would you rather them tell you do download yet another program, and create new passwords and crap to add more security?
FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Google@lemdro.id•Google starts the Gemini-fication of some Nest speakers in the wildEnglish2·1 day agoMy speaker spy thing that I didn’t pay for was used for 24 hours, then unplugged and thrown in the drawer with all the old cellphones.
Email+crappycompany@emailservice.ca not work anymore?
I have my own domain for emails, but he’ll if I’m giving that email to any company that isn’t financial stuff for my house. Ya know…actual important things.
For everything else, I always do blah+someshitcompany@emailprovider.com
FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Gaming@lemmy.zip•GOG add support for authenticator apps for two-factor authentication (2FA)English4·1 day agoIt’s nice when companies implement 2fa and don’t make me use their forced application, or have it tied to a cellphone number where you can’t use the service if you don’t have your cellphone readily available (ie…my bank with their mandatory and proprietary sms verification where you can’t access your financials without having a cellphone number.)
FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•They put A.I. in my truck. It warns me of everything I do wrong verbally. It reports everything to HQ. It is from a company called Solera. I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything?878·1 day agoMaybe if you drivers could actually mange your fucking log books and follow the safety regulations we wouldn’t need to have ELDs and camera and GPS and fucking canbus monitoring
Those companies would deploy this shit anyways even if the logs were perfect. Anything to blame the employee can and will be deployed.
FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computersEnglish608·2 days agoStuck or preferred choice?
Trapped using software they needed to buy once, vs rent?
FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•American firms are now Canadian!!! The ultimate 'great lie'.8·3 days agoI just don’t care to listen, believe anything any big corpo says…they lie, have no obligation to be truthful ever and will never face consequences. They all suck, all their products are trash and nothing will make me see anything differently.
I only buy for need now. Wants hardly exist anymore. I’ve checked out and it’s saved me loads oas a result.
FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Final Fantasy@lemmy.world•Noticed this on a search for “Final Fantasy” - how would you answer it?11·3 days agoI felt this was after they started going 3d. Ff7 was ok, but they started to lose me on this released. Disliked everything afterwards.
Super stoked for EthrA. This is what I have always wanted visually for finally fantasy. I cannot stand this live action nonsense and over the top visuals that clutter the screen. I want great story, and simple combat. Make me care about the characters, not my rotation…
The house my grandfather bought in 1968 cost him 19500.
I bought this exact house from my mom (who bought it from him.
I paid near 500,000.
I am comparing like for like, only because there’s been zero renovations done and no modern things out into the house other then going from oil to Nat gas for heat and electric to gas for hot water.
Everything is original, until now…house will be reassessed afterwards and guaranteed to go up more
FiveMacs@lemmy.catoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Oh yeah, those "leftists" are so violent.33·4 days agoJust checkout the 8646 shirts, hats, stickers and other crap that predates the 8647 thing…‘they’ literally can’t handle what they dish out.
Don’t really care what she thinks…I don’t know her, and never will. Literal stranger.
FiveMacs@lemmy.cato Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•GPU upgrades, hand-me-down PC getting new "old" parts.1·4 days agoLiterally just had my 5070ti arrive in the mail. My vendor has about 60 left in stock after fulfilling about 50 orders.
Benefits of ordering from the same places your computer stores order from I guess :)
Nope…I buy less and less online because hate the fight to return shit and the damn hurdles I have to go through when I discovered I’ve been lied too. I will gladly take time out of my day to go to a physical store, to see the trash quality first hand.
