  1. Re:do people still wear "smart" watches? on watchOS 5 Brings Automatic Workout Detection, Walkie-Talkie Mode, Podcast App To Apple Watch (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 2

    I still wear and use Casio DataBank calculator watches (DB 150). Does that count as a "smart" watch? :P

  2. Re:When did they stop using cats? on Apple Unveils macOS 10.14 Mojave With Dark Mode and Finder Photo Tools (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    More like famous places on Earth. According to https://www.macworld.co.uk/fea..., cat names stopped after OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Also, notice "Mac OS X" was changed to "mac OS" between OS X 10.11: El Capitan and macOS 10.12: Sierra. I didn't like going back to its original classic "mac OS" name. I was fine with "Mac OS X"!

    My folks still like their 6 Pluses even though they are slower with iOS v11.x. I am OK with my free 4S I got from one of them even though very slow, bad original battery life, and unsupported. I rarely use it, but they want me to have a mobile phone. :/

  5. My old what, whippersnapper? :P

  6. Don't forget https://www.seamonkey-project.... ... V2.49.3 currently uses Firefox v52 ESR's Gecko engine. :D

    Wow, they never saw you in person before hiring? Wow, I would assume they would at least see you once.

  11. Re:Use Conversations on Telegram CEO Claims Apple Has 'Prevented' App Updates Globally Since April · · Score: 1

    Is that what Google Hangouts/Talk/Chat use? It is also hard to get people to use other services. Most of them just use unsecured SMSes and Google Hangouts/Talk/Chat these days. :(

    Um, I never saw applications ask for birthdates before interviews.

    I used to love getting the (late/new)est stuff, but not anymore due to being BUSY, bugginess, pricey, etc. I use many old stuff like my hardwares, softwares, etc. If I get paid to use the newer stuff for work, then sure. Personal stuff, no. I had enough.
