  1. Just pull the drive from the old box. on Apple Providing Free Data Migration With a Mac Purchase or Repair (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    When I want to 'migrate' my data from an old system, I just take the drive out of it and put it into an external hard drive case that has a USB interface. Then you can delete the unwanted executables and libraries, etc, and your data files are there in the folders where they were. You get a portable drive for your effort, and an external enclosure is about a $15 purchase.

    You say your hard drive is glued or soldered into the old machine? What kind of shit company did you buy your system from??

  2. How cozy-n-safe is that!

    Too bad it only runs with Apple hardware. And Apple software. If you confine yourself to a little world, you get to use the highly integrated features in that little world. And feel very safely cared for by the patriarchs in that little world.

    All politicians are crooked shysters.

    Trump is included. We've put him in the swamp to kill as many of the other critters as he can before his term is up.

    We don't have to invite Trump over for a dinner party. We just have to let him do his job.

  6. Innocent little darlings, to be sure.

    Spin up your fantasies, guy.

    Let's not forget that the most outrageous case of electoral fraud in the 2018 midterms was perpetrated by the GOP,

    The ethics of the Bay Area is "We are the champions" played at full volume over the PA in the stadium. And they are triumphant about it.

    It's typical cultural imperialism, the same old same old that the colonialists have used for centuries to expand their control of the world.

    Chrome and Safari are based on Konqueror, which is a KDE project. Apple always copies somebody else's code, but retains many lawyers to keep others from copying theirs.

  14. I have deleted the Google account on my Android phone. It works fine without a Google account. Make sure you save your contacts to a vcard file before you delete your Google account on your phone, because Google 'punishes' account deleters by wiping the local contacts list. You can import your contacts back onto your phone by running the vcard file on your new less-Google phone.

    You can get app updates and even some core service updates from Aptoide. Google REALLY doesn't like Aptoide.

    I know people with college degrees who can't function in the real world. And people who left school in the 7th grade who know more about subjects than people who got a degree.

    Yes, but we're talking about playing Fortnite instead of staying in school, not a brilliant dropout who didn't need a classroom education.

    It's really just a terrible media event. Regardless of how this boy's future pans out, the publicity of all of this encourages more young people to abandon practical study and try to become "professional video gamers" themselves. It's okay to dream, and to have fun gaming. It's bad news to become deluded to the point of discarding your education.
