Hahahahaha, made me actually laugh out loud. Glad I'm not reading at work.

Take your upvote.

Wow. I don't remember this at all.

I agree with you and the premise, in general.

Unfortunately even the little bits of data that are gathered can form a bigger picture over even a few years. See the recent acquisition of Ancestry.com by Blackstone (a finance company, IIRC) - now pretty much all of us have some of our genealogy held by them. Why would a finance company want that data(rhetorical question).

Right? I read injuries, not fatalities! 😁

(We're both going to hell, I'll be in the seat right behind yours). Lol

This long predates XKCD. It predates the web.

I don't believe the ISP would have legal standing to take you to court, as they don't hold the copyright.

They're in the middle, being told hy copyright holders that someone using their service is violating copyright, and they must "do something".

Eventually they may shut off your service, but I haven't heard of it happening since the early 2000's.

I refuse to subscribe to apps. Devs doing so for no good reason get 1 star, and I delete the app.

Screw em.

Now, if an app has a back end, or has to host a resolver (Resilio Sync, Tailscale, etc), or provide other necessary services, that's different.

More seriously, why not run a real OS on it. Windows/Linux?

Android no longer shows a real advantage these days. Laptops now run all day with real use, touch screens are available, etc.

Nice.

I'd it from an old pic that happened to be good quality? I'd guess about 1978, may 1980/81 when there were some big storms from Michigan to the Atlantic, and that seems to be an Arkansas plate, on a 1975 or later GM, in very good shape (no obvious damage/rust).

That's it! Couldn't dig that out of my slow memory, haha

I had no idea this existed. Dammit, another toy I really didn't need to add to my list!

Lol, run with it! It would be memorable, and people would talk about it.
