Equivalent to over $1000US. Wee bit harsh, no? Around NYC, if you don't have a ticket, they make you buy one for a bit of extra money ($5, I think). On express buses, if you don't have a ticket, the fine is around $100.
Maybe to your Windows login, not to mine. I use a local account -- I have no desire to "stink" my devices with Microsoft's "clown" any more than I need to.
Or just keep running Win 7 -- just don't be stupid and click on links from spy32545434warecle4ner.ru. Some computers are perfectly fine running XP in 2018 as long as they're not used by numpties.
They're locked in, and will soon be locked in to Microsoft's cloud-clown infrastructure. Never mind that you're serving them week-old poop, they'll learn to like it. Mangia! Mangia!
I use a desktop email app, because I can respond to stuff when I'm offline and get notifications on my laptop. Thunderbird is still awesome.
Plus I host my own IMAP server and don't feel like giving all my personal info to Google/M$/Yahoo/Apple.
Use a different mail app... problem solved. (1) View webmail in a different browser (2) Install Outlook, which will remain configurable for business reasons (3) Install Thunderbird or another 3rd party email app
Microsoft Mail is the new Outlook Express, without the charm of a built-in NNTP client...
Wasn't a large portion of the US on 1ESS or 1AESS in the 90s? First-generation ESS is semi-mechanical, and no doubt has higher power draw than current all-digital systems.
As far as crossbar, I think parts of NYC were on crossbar till the mid or early 90s. I remember... "griiiiing - thunk" "griiiiing - thunk" when you called some (718) numbers.
At the end of the day, Facebook is an ad-supported self-publishing platform, nothing more or less in the end. Whether news about a new feature comes out today or in two weeks isn't going to make or break their business model. The witch-hunting smells of inflated senses of self-importance.
Random car and personal searches? Access to personal email and phone calls written into contracts? We're not talking about Los Alamos in the 1940s, where they designed weapons capable of killing millions, yet security is on that level. Why? Inflated egos of management of a company that thinks it's more important to the world than it actually is.
Remember MySpace? AOL? No? Good. That's where FB will be in 15 years.
Shouldn't copper these days require less power/fewer batteries to keep up and running? The US phone network is all-digital these days.
In the 90s, it still had a mixture of digital and electromechanical switching.
i.e.: - Crossbar and SxS, which actually involved moving selector arms with magnets. - 1ESS/1AESS, which used mechanical switches (reed switches, maybe?) moved under the control of a big old 1960s or 70s-era computer.
Plus the digital switches (5ESS, DMS-100) that are still in use some places today.
I'd be interested if I could link the watch directly to my computer via cable or local network. I don't need to "care and share" personal health data with the clown... I mean cloud... thank you very much.

Stupid or greedy, taking payola from M$ to obsolete old systems so they can get everyone into their walled garden?
You can't win in a Kangaroo Court. (sorry, too easy)
I like my reality -- I'd rather stay with Win 7 than use a nausea-inducing VR headset with 10.
Save? Folder? You should be using the cloud, citizen, not archaic file systems.

$1000 is robbery.

Run an old Firefox -- if sites b!tch about it being insecure, change the UserAgent string as appropriate.
"You have new mail."
are you a pine, elm, or mutt sort of dude?

Also, remember the old HONK-HONK-HONK busy signals?

If it doesn't come with a USB port, just install an outlet with built-in USB power behind the TV if you want to keep things clean.
Orange actually maintains their copoed network. Verizon? Nah -- you're lucky to get 3mbps on DSL.
Backup battery, have it signal Verizon when it gets low. Tech and replacement is covered by cost of service.

Why are you replying to me? My post was about Verizon FTTX, not the Clintons.
Go to France...
You have a choice of 4 ISPs in many parts of the country, not just cable/DSL. Fast >100MB service can be as cheap as $30/mo equivalent.
Funny that a more socialist country has more competition than the "free market, Horatio Alger" USA.
It tells the time and date. I can "charge" it by turning a little knob on the stem.
