How is that the fault of the individual providing customer support who is likely making minimum wage? What can they realistically do about it?

This is the equivalent of cussing out the person working the drive-through at McDonalds because corporate raised the prices…and then telling everyone about it.

Your anger and frustration is valid. What AT&T did is shitty. How you handled these feelings was a bit cruel and could use some reflection and improvement.

We experienced many of the same things you mentioned and ended up fully embracing co-sleeping.

When our son was 2 and a bit he was ready to be in a toddler bed beside our bed. This happened more or less naturally with a bit of encouragement. It was around this time that he started "sleeping through the night".

We recently had another baby and our eldest (almost 3 at the time) decided for himself that he was ready to sleep alone in his own room.

This process took a lot longer than some of the other people I've spoken with. However we're okay with it because we never had to do any sort of sleep training, our son feels secure & has a healthy attachment with us, and in retrospect this whole process was shorter than it really seemed at the time.

So I guess what I'm saying is, try not to compare your situation to others—every child is so different. Do what you have to do to support your child and yourselves. And finally, this will pass more quickly than you think—you may even think fondly of these times later.

Good luck!

I guess I was the only one who thought it was a fun action show and enjoyed it?

Security should be both convenient and default for everyone.

RCS is opt-in. Nothing is changing protocols without your prior consent and knowledge.

SMS and MMS are not very secure however. RCS is technically an open standard. it's mostly controlled by Google at the moment, but hopefully that will change as Apple enters the game this year.

Unhinged

I know nothing about 3D printing—is there a benefit to putting this thing in front of the window?

Technically not misogyny—just good ol’ fashioned objectification.

This is Canada.

Why? Those are just abstractions. Why do you get to decide at which level of abstraction is the baseline for a person to use a computer?

Especially considering most computer users are operating at a higher level of abstraction (i.e. phones/tablets).

You are not the average computer user anymore.

I am very curious to see if this will be the first smartwatch that works with tattooed wrists. None of the health & security features have ever worked for me with any of the major brands.

Another vote for Seveneves.

Hell, anything by Neal Stephenson is going to be a win.
