...was about the same trick. You could access google for free (from Opera browser on my flip) but everything else was like $1/10MB, but just by clicking the "see cached version" that was hosted by google, it worked for free.
A few years ago I wasn't able to log anymore because my login name was "Frédéric", I managed to log with Fr&#E9d&#E9ric or something like this, then after another update I was not able again, and I had to email the developper so they changed my login name in the database to Frederic54...
True I still use my HP MINI311, o/c to 2GHz, 3GB RAM, Mint17.3/Xfce runs pretty good on it, I am using it to develop on Atmel MEGA processor, it takes a few seconds to compile a 32KB program. It's for in-car apps so the netbook fornat is perfect.
And even if it's more than 6 years old, it has a dedicated NVidia GPU (ion) and can decode in HW any 1080p video, and output it on the HDMI port plugged on the 55" LCD TV.
However it's true that Chrome is a little bit slow and heavy sites like reddit with RES brings the CPU to its knees, but to edit/compile small C program on the go, it's wonderful.
I agree, WRT54 is really old tech, ITOH I am stil using an E3000, it is abgn, has 2.4GHz and 5GHz, band, and a USB port. With Tomato this is still a great router that does everything I need.
Au contraire, as long as they keep this feature it ensures I will never go on their site or be interested by what they are. I am still not sure, are they a kind of Instagram? (I have no account there too).
True, having been "on the net" since early 90s, I ignore ads completely, my brain does not see them. If there is a huge popup blocking everything I might disable it if I really want to read the article, else I just close the window, same for article divided into 10 pages.
The only ads I clicked in 25 years was a few times on/. to support them.
If you are using Android 6.0, you can use your SD card as an expansion of your internal memory. In my GF Moto G2 (which has only 8GB internal memory and less than 5 free) I put a 32GB UHS-1 card, go into storage/whatever, click "use it as internal storage", it formats the card and tada! she has a "40GB" phone and can move audio/video and apps on the SD card easily.
About the same, started BASIC on a Sinclair ZX81 at 11yo, then on an Amstrad CPC6128, then Z80 assembly, and as the CPC was using CPM I learnt TurboPascal and dBaseII too, then I bought a PC in 1990 and started C.
True, a couple years ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro, very powerful tablet and all, it came with KitKat 4.4 and it was never upgraded. Shame on Samsung!
I don't get it, why do they advertise "wow our car now has wifi onboard!!! Better than competition!!!" in TV and all?!? I mean, I have a 3G MiFi for something like 6 years now that I can take with me in the car for the family to have internet access, and I can even take it while we walk everywhere, and still have our tablet/phones connected to WiFi, all using only one data plan.
Why having a $49 hotpot in a car became a sale point, is beyond me...
My first Android Phone was a Galaxy S2 running Android 2.3 and it had a true FM radio chip inside, with an app to use it.
My Motorola G2, bought in a BestBuy in the USA, unlocked, has an FM radio with an app.
My Asus Zenfone2 also has an FM radio chip, and you can buy this phone in the USA.
Right, the FB "wall" is mainly garbage now, what I see more and more is people creating Facebook groups, for family, friends, hobbies, etc and in this one there is no crap, only what users are posting.
I am not talking about "friends group" alà google circle that are hard to manage in FB, but "interest group".
Why all this craze about storage/price, I bought a Moto G2 for my daughter, it has 8GB internal storage, I added a 32GB UHS1 SD card and formatted it as internal storage, ZOOM! she now has 40GB storage for music, pictures, application, etc. without paying a huge premium.

Virgin is using Bell network so not a true carrier provider.
It is cheaper to buy an unlock phone and go in the US to take a tmobile plan, then use it in Canada.
You, old guy like me, remember the good old /. from 1998, but this article is really useless!

And I do not have Instagram
It's not about bank-card, but prepaid card, there is no PIN on these one
Yeah but this has absolutely nothing to do with a car, it's an helicopter, without wheels.

Yup, in QC electricity is super cheap, bring electric cars as many as you want!

But who will build the robot? And at what time the robot will build others themselves?

Cellphone =/= iPhone.
FM radio was working on my Samsung Galaxy S2, Motorola G2 and now my Zenfone2 (I just realised I have something with the number 2...)
All this on a $79 router.
I remember, I had an account there and got some stories posted, last century...
