60+ year old thread.

My son, the computer systems analyst, sent me this a while back:


So no, I don't. This phone scares me enough.

EDIT: The garage door opener we just upgraded to is capable, but wife and I agreed to not turn it on.

 

Exactly and indeed!

Thanks Ken

 

I know, I know; just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not REALLY out to get you.

I work in tech too. I don't worry about the known, intentional, privacy compromises we're making with our "smart" doodads. They're literally nothing compared to what is actually possible, and actually being done, out there in the world.

It's a wave. I choose to ride it.

 

I use a smartphone/(leash), but am limited in the apps I use. I also turn them off when I do not need them.

Anyone talk with someone about something and the next time you are on the search engine or another website ... that item pops up?
I have, recently Yes, they do hear you.

 

All this talk about snow, it’s making me cold here.
Hello from sunny SoCal !

 

Welcome to the porch 1 2retire....Great thread with plenty of topics to join in on. Age don't matter. Some younger folks drop in and some older folks do as well. Enjoy

 

Just knocked over hanging ice and snow off my rooves/roofs? Been mostly raining the last day, at least no snow to shovel today.
Except for buying old lanterns and some snow blower shear pins, only bought some socks and a pair of jeans online this weekend.

Not quite the big 60 till next year but this is looking good

 

Done with the lights, now can I watch some football...

 

I sat down next to him.....

 

That is one fine picture.

 

Whoop, whoop!
Local community college won the state championship in volleyball for community colleges. Feather River College. Don't follow them, but check the local college to see how they do in sports.

Morning all.
Little injury update. Went to a hand specialest last Monday. He said I'll live.
Stiches are supposed to come out this Friday. It's been really aggravating especially when I bump or bang it accidentally!!
On another note, I took my wife shopping yesterday. We saw Santa at one store. There was no one with him so we walked in and I shook his hand and thanked him for what he's doing.
He put out his hand to shake and I put out my left hand...he looked at my right hand and said did your wife (who was right by my side) do this.
Yes, yes she did. He said Ohhh, you're on the naughty list. We both had a good laugh over that!!

 

Happy to hear your hand will be ok

 

Just got my 15 all cleaned up and ready for winter. Fluid film sprayed and ceramic coating applied to truck and windows.

 

Morning all. Sitting in the parking lot waiting to go in for PT. It's been almost 4 months and the back issues still there. Time to get an MRI and move on. Hope everyone has a good one.

 

I've used Chiropractors for years, temp fix if that much. Works mostly if I can't walk sorta straight up, so allows me to walk better. Some hard labor helps, maybe making the muscles loosen up.

Keep the garage doors closed and it will stay like that.

 

A least now when I wash it the water just runs off. No snow here yet in northeast Ohio.

 

We usually don't get hit hard till January however we got bombed last week with 12 inches.
Threw everyone off lol
