Tablets

How many here use a tablet?

Four years ago I got my first tablet, an amazon firehd 10 (11th gen). It was dirt cheap at ~$100 at qvc or overstock. I wasn't sure if I had a use for one and didn't want to spend too much money.

The firmware device came with also permitted google services to be installed, so playstore apps was a possibility.

Was This Site Down Today?

Spent a few hours trying to log in. Not responsive. Just curious. Glad to see it back running.

Digital footprint

The thread about losing access to some parts of the site because lack of periodic participation brought up an interesting question.

Some other updates are also available, so see https://support.apple.com/en-us/100100

the world is changing / lead acid batteries

So many things discourage us from keeping things forever and doing what's financially the right move.

When my fluorescent bulb broke that goes over the sink, I actually didn't think I could get a replacement. Well, good ol' PA, one can. It's not banned here. Replaced it. Got a 4 pack on amazon. It dawned on me, I won't live long enough to use those 4 bulbs.
