  1. Explain.

  2. Cheap plastic smartphone ain't gonna be my satnav, music and video controller for plex/youtube/netflix/etc or give me access to various servers I need to SSH in to.

    Are you suggesting I keep a laptop with me at all times?

    I fail to see any way I'm better off without a smartphone, so if you could elaborate that would be fantastic. Please note I don't use any social media so don't start spouting that bollocks as any part of your argument.

    Cheers.

  3. in fact, it has outlived two other laptops that I've owned.

    Which says more about the hardware than the operating system...

    Yeah I can get the same thing with 20GB a month for £20 a month, which is what? $25? That's completely contract free. If I use up that 20GB I can just restart my "month" with another £20 and get another 20GB.

    Can switch and change how much I pay whenever I want depending on what I need.

    If you're ever in the UK and need a SIM I can't recommend GiffGaff enough.

    For $50 a month I'd EXPECT a free phone upgrade every couple of years.

    £10 a month for SIM only. Unlimited SMS, calls and 4GB data. Cancel any time I want with no penalty and move my number to whatever provider I want and they HAVE to give me the PAC to transfer the number within 2 hours.

    Boggles my mind how hard you get shafted in the US for cellular service.

  6. Ahhh fair enough!

    inhaling anything other than oxygen is bad for your lungs

  12. Good question. I "deleted" my account about 4 years ago, but I wouldn't be surprised if all my data is still lurking on their system somewhere.

    Ccleaner isn't and never has been necessary. It's bullshit software "cleaning" issues that never existed.

    Had all the fucks I could give about it drained from me by the 9/11 truthers constantly repeating the same tired "facts" without bringing anything fresh or evidence based to the table.
