Apparently the solution to a hijacked Facebook account is to create a new account.
A relative impersonated me on Facebook. After jumping through all the Facebook hoops to try to claim my own damn Facebook account (I hadn't previously "planted my flag" by making my own account) with no response from Facebook, I read that it is common for someone to be impersonated on Facebook. So I impersonated myself on Facebook by making a new account, and that seems to have worked.
EmagGeek, you might like the Nokia 7.1. It has both a headphone jack and expandable storage. Mine is running Android 9 with the security patch level February 1, 2019. $300. It will get two years of OS updates and three years of security patches.
The Japanese are overall pretty welcoming. I'm sure there are a few racist assholes like we have here, people too stubborn and uneducated and inexperienced with the world to know any better. Mostly not though.
Apparently you have never heard of the word "gaijin" before now.
Freezing your credit is the better way. Not only does this protect you from folks trying to sign you up for Informed Delivery, it also protects you from people opening credit cards, loans, etc in your name.
The second article (link in the summary) states that "...numerous readers have responded that they were still able to sign up for the service even though they had security freezes in place..." and this typing ptarmigan was able to sign up for the USPS Informed Delivery service (using KBA: Knowledge-Based Authentication) a little while ago even though I have credit security freezes in place.
How much energy is spent trying to mine gold and failing to do so profitably, or even entirely? I'm guessing most.
Private gold miners/companies don't have to provide numbers regarding the amount of gold they produce, so any estimate would be a guess. Presumably, publicly-traded gold mining companies produce more gold (I think they're required to state how much gold they produce) than private gold miners/companies, but that's another guess.
I do know that for the old-fashioned, placer-mining, multistory, floating gold dredges (a pretty efficient way to mine gold, if the dredge is located in the right place), the price of gold per ounce multiplied by the number of ounces of gold produced has to equal more than the cost of the fuel consumed to run the dredge while producing that gold. Private gold miners traditionally are very closemouthed about how much gold they produce.
If you must buy a Pixel, don't get one from Google's Project FI
I have five phones from Google (2 nexus, 3 pixel) and was one of their biggest fanbois, primarily because they put out crapware free phones.
I currently have two broken FI pixels (broken hardware) and one working one. (along with a couple of Nexus phones).
Still paying on the three pixels, all are under the (extra cost/month) hardware assurance plan.
I can't get them fixed despite paying the extra hardware assurance simply because i put a TMO sim in them instead of a FI sim (doesn't void warranty or anything, just doesn't register in their system then, and they can't get past that). I eventually wound up purchasing lower end Samsungs just so the kids had phones and have largely given up fighting with them over this.
I'm done with FI, and likely done with Google's hardware as well. At least if i buy cheap off brands i know better than to expect actual resolution to issues.
So apparently I can avoid your situation by buying a Pixel3 XL from Google's Project Fi (when the Pixel3 XL is available) and putting a Project Fi SIM card in it. Thanks.
F2F complaining about the upcoming change to the open office may be what was measured, and after the switch workers were/are less likely to complain about the switch when the entire office and managers/tattletales can hear those complaints.
So more than 2.5 million other TF2 players also have my "rarest" TF2 achievement. And more than 50 million other TF2 players apparently think the weapons I'm trying to sell are overpriced. On the bright side, there must be approx. 12.5 million spies to burn up.

There is also the Vivaldi browser, which is based on Chromium (open source). People who liked the "old" Opera browser (prior to Opera 15) would probably like Vivaldi. Vivaldi's privacy policy -> https://vivaldi.com/privacy/br...
Most POS terminals in the US use chip + signature so authorization is via "the net" and is done each time the VISA card is used. AFAIK, POS terminals in Europe use chip + PIN, authorization is handled without "the net," and reconciliation is done in a daily/nightly batch.
One reason US credit cards have chip + signature instead of chip + PIN (like in Europe) is ostensibly because point-of-sale (POS) terminal data connections are intermittent in Europe, compared to POS terminals in the US. Chip + PIN can authenticate without the POS terminal being "on the net;" the POS terminal can "catch up" later when it does have connectivity. It'll be interesting to see why that strategy doesn't seem to be working (TFA currently mentions "payment cards with different payment technologies" but doesn't say what those technologies are).

TFA says "uploaded" multiple times. Doesn't it seem like advertisers would download (not upload) your info from Facebook?

Not one shred of information on /how/ the script got on the system in the first place
I'm calling bullshit on the article.
With such a critical piece of information missing, it's clearly scaremongering and pretty close to fake news.
A link in TFA leads to the "cure"... Surprise! It's a recommendation to run the antivirus maker's antivirus software!
I think people would be happier to pay a little more per seat and be comfortable.
In Soviet America, obese people pay same for seat and make *you* uncomfortable!

Here's my upgrade path: MS Windows 95 -> MS Windows 95 OSR2 -> MS Windows 98 -> MS Windows 98 SE -> Linux.

When ICQ was new, I wouldn't use it because of the privacy implications: someone would know every time I was connected to the Internet! How quaint.
