Even when support officially ends, enterprise edition allows companies to purchase a yearly subscription to continue support for several years with each year getting more expensive then the last. Also the LTSB edition continues support until 2029. It could be possible they have a way to use these patches through this?

I am 40 and never had a phone bill to date! When I started working in a real job I was 22 and at that time cell phones were still not 100% a necessity. My job gave us a blackberry so I never had to worry. Crazy enough, I've been with this job for 18 years now and the job doesn't seem very secure these days so I opted to purchase a phone directly. I traded in my old work phone for a new Samsung and got a top of the line for like $400. I signed up for Google voice and got a free number and use my work phones hot spot if I go out to use it just as any other phone for the last 3 years now. Only issue I have is hot spot is battery intensive, and some accounts don't allow mfa with free voip numbers but whatever, free is awesome.

Sadly, I do order from crap places like this more than I would like to admit. Key these days to keeping semi low prices or get more food for the price is to have an account and order from the app. You can see all the deals and pick one that may work best for you. Some places are better than others. Most of Domino's is a scam because the deal price should just be the real price. It basically penalizes people who don't go out of their way. Good luck next time!

Where I am from everyone used Venmo... I never wanted it, I had PayPal forever due to ebay I think in the 2000's so why did I need another service that did the exact same thing as PayPal and it's even owned by the same company! Sadly, I lost that battle and caved. Idk why everyone said let's use venmo or why it got big, but I'm stuck out of convenience for others now.

Personally, I love Zelle the most since it's a direct transfer from bank account to bank account and available immediately without the 2 day wait like the other services.

HeyJoe ,

Same! I didn't even have a computer till the year I graduated high school because they cost too much then. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people had them. We were the odd family in the neighborhood. Not that anyone cared.
Once I got one, the only social media type stuff that I remember using was AIM, Photobucket, and shudder LiveJournal. I couldn't imagine navigating the internet today where everyone has figured out exactly how to exploit you for everything without you even knowing because you are too young to understand still.

HeyJoe ,

It's only a little over a year old by now and even the first release was better than most of the stuff out there, but what it is today makes it better than anything I have ever used before on my phone and that includes premium apps like Spotify. At this point, I can't even think of stuff I would need anymore, but I can't wait to see what the next year brings.

Another note, the developer also created yatse, which I used over a decade ago as my remote control for kodi. Also equally as awesome as this is. He is very good at what he does, haha.

HeyJoe ,

I have a library that's been growing for about 20 years now. I don't think I got too serious until around 2009, which is when I discovered music servers to host my library and quickly realized how bad its structure was. It took years of me getting folders done correctly followed by then working on tags. Automation scared me to much since the results were not always 100%. Once it was done I have kept a system to keep it that way the best I can.

So for me once I get new content I use the app tagscanner to edit everything to the way I like, then I drop them into music Picard were I found a tutorial online a few years ago to set it up to just edit music genres. I found the one thing I never got right was music genres so finding this tool was incredible. Took months to run large sections of the library though. Now I got every track labeled with up to 5 genre tags. Once that is done I change folder names to what I want, drop them into my music directory folder which is root > artist > album (don't care about year since it's tagged). Scan music into my musicbee app and if any are missing covers I right click and tell it to find them. Then do a scan with navidrome to add it all there.

HeyJoe ,

Everything I do is manual, I don't really have duplicates unless I get singles then get the album once it releases. Even then, unless the single comes with extra bonus tracks (seems to be a lost past time, never see this anymore) I will delete the singles after.

Here is the forum post I originally found years ago to setup music picard to tag multiple genres, which is the only setup that I have that took extra effort and not just use out of the box defaults.

HeyJoe ,

Would have been cool if they made a modern day remake of this episode when the series came back.

HeyJoe ,

No, home and pro EOL are the same date as enterprise. Enterprise editions are allowed the extra time because Microsoft already knows an insane amount of businesses will not be fully moved off 10 by that date and instead of making themselves look bad, they setup this program to tell everyone hey where here for you and also ready to make an insane amount of bonus money.

Idk if the article also mentions, but every year after the first, the price increases for each additional year. The did this with Windows 7 as well, I know all about it because I work for a company that had to do it for 2 years. Once the time comes you replace the systems license with a new key that continues to allow updates to work.

HeyJoe ,

I currently use Navidrome as well, but I really don't use smart playlists like that. For me, I use Symfonium on Android, which offers a ton of options and is incredible. In all my years of using a personal server to host music, this app has been the best by a lot. As for desktop apps, I don't use them much, but when I do, I use Musicbee, which also offers unlimited customization if you're willing to put time into it. It used to have a subsonic plug-in, but I have no idea if it's still active. I just use the local file location and treat it as its own entity. If the subsonic plug-in still works, it may allow you to do what you want since everything seems possible in Musicbee from my experience.

HeyJoe ,

I use privacy. Link current card so you can create merchant cards with restrictions. If it gets hacked just delete the card and create a new one. Also if you got charged once another charge from another merchant will not work. I can worry about 1 less thing in life, until privacy gets hacked...

HP’s 'All-In' Printer Rental Watches Everything You Print, Tells HP All About It (www.extremetech.com)

In addition to tracking the printer’s online or offline status, page count, and ink levels, your rented printer will look at the types of documents you’re printing (e.g., PDF, JPG, Word), the types of devices that initiated the print job, “peripheral devices,” and other “metrics” related to the service, the All-In...

HeyJoe ,

That's what I was thinking! I never paid for a printer subscription service, and I never will, but they are really telling me I get to pay them to take all my data as well? If this is marketed at businesses in any way its a privacy nightmare, which would probably mean even if they wanted to use them they couldn't due to sharing confidential information. I also wonder how many companies won't know this until they already use them and realize HP has data on them that now holds them liable.

HeyJoe ,

Finally! Something I can relate to... having 2 kids and a dog and stepping into the mystery water is even more interesting because now you have to find out wtf you even stepped in. It's water.... if you're lucky.

Fast food restaurant Wendy’s plans Uber-like surge pricing, with digital menu boards that change prices depending on demand (edition.cnn.com)

Fast food restaurant Wendy’s plans Uber-like surge pricing, with digital menu boards that change prices depending on demand::The price of a Wendy’s Frosty could soon fluctuate throughout the day as the chain looks to introduce Uber-like surge pricing on its menu.

HeyJoe ,

I feel like this would only work if all the other fast food places did the same thing... please, please don't do that! Seriously, if it's peak time like lunch, why would I ever pick Wendy's, which is now super expensive, or just get shitty food from the other place a block away for half the price?

Also, it's going to be even more insulting when they no longer offer the cheapest items they have today, which I will assume will never be this low again, even at low points of the day. I really hope this campaign is a huge failure and the people who pitched it are fired because I really don't want to see a future where this is possibly the standard one day.

HeyJoe ,

Normally, the odd times are because someone can't work the weekend, which is crazy to me since I am someone who accepts all the worst go live times...

Although the more I think about it, would there really have been a fantastic day or time? Even weekends suck because it affects everything so even then it would have sucked plus if it did bring down companies those people are now doing work on the weekends as well. Idk if I disagree with a late time smack in the middle of the week date for this the more I think about it.

HeyJoe ,

Pretty much. Thankfully, the job I work at only does business inside the country it's located I'm. If that ever changes, they will be providing us with the IP's to whitelist them.

HeyJoe ,

You beat me to it! Only thing I thought of when I read this.

HeyJoe ,

I can think of 2 websites that didn't work right over the past 10 Yeats. Both were credit card payment sites and just had weird issues like couldn't hit the submit button. I figured it out and just used edge for them. I never found any site that I use often that has issues yet.

HeyJoe ,

Samsung bill pay which is a tdbank site and joss and main furniture credit payment site... didn't think I had to list them to be taken seriously. Plus I am for Firefox, it's all I have used for 15 years now.

HeyJoe ,

I still wonder what they are buying and from who. If it's the ISP I kind of wonder what they still get from me since I don't use their DNS servers and the ones I point to are setup for DoH for all traffic at home. I also use other stuff for added privacy. It doesn't take a lot of effort, I hope more people start taking their networks seriously and setup some easy bare minimum precautions to help make it at least slightly harder to track you.

HeyJoe ,

Site doesn't work. Just sends me to a captcha page over and over...

HeyJoe ,

Thanks!

HeyJoe ,

Honestly, I would love to believe everyone here, but I remember Netflix last year with eliminating password sharing and how everyone lost their collective minds about it. I thought dam Netflix will really get it this time, then it turns out Netflix was right and they actually gained subscriptions from doing it.
