Your brain was reading it correctly.

I've already found what I needed while sailing on my ship. Sony can get fucked.

Fuck that. My tax dollars will not be funding corporate bail outs.

Thanks for the comment about masked cards. I didn't even know this was a thing.

😂 It's less funny that people fall for this shit. Sadly, I almost once fell for a phone scam from indian scammers pretending to be from my bank to try and get my bank card numbers. Luckily I realized it once he was asking for card numbers. I work for a government entity and am getting constant phishing attempts

You could always incorporate the door knob anally.

I cut the cord when netflix was just mail order CDs. The moment they started their bullshit with password sharing, I canceled my sub and never went back. Hulu got the axe too. If you live long enough, you either die a hero, or become the villain. Nextflix decided to become the villain.

The issue here is that the technology itself, instruction, and implementation was incredibly poor this century. Schools weren't doing basic things like typing classes for primary school, there was no instruction on how to program or use the operating systems, and kids weren't given PCs; they were given tablets and chrome books which favored internet access based learning platforms over products stored locally on machines.

I grew up during the 1980s, and my primary schools had 1 apple pc in the classroom. We took turns learning typing. We learned how to operate the machines by inserting floppies and typing commands. Things we were given access to were all instructional. I have vivid memories of learning math via computer with a program called number muncher.

Access to the tech was limited and supervised. This is what created an environment that taught me how to use computers as I transitioned to secondary education. This century, all of the implemented controls were related to limiting access to pornography rather than teaching students anything about the actual tech. Now we have a generation of people entering the workforce that don't know how to use PCs just like the boomer demographic.
