Yeah, downloading on 56k was not fun. My average per song was 1 hour, which I thought was decent considering it was free. My house got an additional line just for internet.
We eventually got a coax modem, I was at high school at the time when we went high speed too. I felt like I was in the future. Lol.
What I missed was losing access to AOL sites though but now that I look back, those were kinda trash.
I am going to guess they have WiFi access points.
Yes that is true but speaking on clinging on to an older phone, a headphone jack had a superior physical hold. My phone got saved a few times because my phone was connected to my wired headphones.
These dongles that came with phones were also usually very thin. It also sticks out and made of plastic. It just adds another weak point. They somehow added a weak point to a great piece of technology... On top of that phones no longer comes with the dongles.
Also dongles aren't sexy. It looks like a hack to make something work. Phone companies made headphones unsexy while making wireless earbuds really sexy.
Some people said that a headphone jack made dustproofing and waterproofing more difficult. Maybe but it had be done before. They also said it brings down the price of the phone to get rid of them. Weird considering the Google A series and Samsung mid range phones had it but their flagship phones didn't.
You made a lot of great points. Thank you for those.
I actually have bluetooth earbuds either came bundled, or I was gifted them. They have come a long way. Easier to connect. Better latency and better sound quality compared to the older version of bluetooth.
I like them, I am not a complete hater but I really am annoyed that this stuff will just turn to ewaste while my headphones have lasted me decades.
I'm just an old head yelling at the clouds.
I saw one of those small japanese trucks in real life. Hopefully with enough imports truck companies will make smaller models.
IBM was the biggest help to Microsoft and gave them that revolutionary contract.
Good thing Bill's mommy was on the board to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Remember when Amber Rose said she would back Trump because he was a "real man"?
Lol
I'm going to hope for the best and assume this has nothing to do with their browser. Mozilla has a lot of other products.
Stanford University has made hundreds of millions of dollars on licensing alone. That doesn't even include the billions they got from donations.
They can afford to fight this. What they do get just giving up is the donations they get from conservatives. This is a business decision.
Is there anyway to search all Lemmy instances through Google or DuckDuckGo like site:reddit.com?
I didn't notice that. All documentation just refers to the company as "Company-1".
I'm guessing the company made a deal they would cooperate if their name isn't included in.
Not sure how accurate but I found someone with the same name and age in Marlton, NJ on Spokeo.
His two cell phone numbers say "AT&T Mobility". His landline says Verizon. I'm going to guess he worked for AT&T. Could be wrong though.
If Nintendo wins, the Github page and the website page will probably shutdown.
Forking it now is a good idea.
Multiple time offenders should see harsher penalties regardless of what their income is.
Take away their license. If they drive without a license, then they should go to jail.
Being a parent or being disabled is no excuse for multiple parking violations. If you don't know the law or aren't patient enough to follow them, then don't drive. Driving is a privileged, not a right.
