    My LG tv was just removed from the approved list last month. They offered me 1/2 price on their stupid sticks. I don't want yet another device when I already have a chromecast.

    My issue with Wallet before was credit card rewards. Everything came across as a generic category so say my Amex higher % cash back at grocery stores didn't register properly. Hopefully that is corrected now that the banks are in on it. If so I'll be all over it.

    I got into this a few weeks ago as well. Mine was threw an easter egg hidden on one of their site pages. It was in the middle of a work mess so I only ended up ever completing 2 of the tests. You do have the option of logging in via google account so I'm sure they already know allll about me.

  24. Re:I installed it on Data From Windows 10 Feedback Tool Exposes Problem Areas · · Score: 1

    I am reviewing a complete software package that has a base OS, UI, file explorer, browser, etc. As an every day user I don't care if they tweaked handling device drivers that crash or made memory usage 2% more efficient. Do I want those, sure, but they fall into the list that you expect to just work. The UI is what I interact with every day. Did the screw with it more in a good way or a bad way? That is what everyone wanted to know and why so many people installed it.
