    This 4S, with iOS v9.3.5, still works even though and unsupported. Its battery hasn't blown up, but its life has shrunk. Pokemon Go + Cellular can drain it in 30 minutes. :( I doubt I will replace its battery since it is old and slow since I got it for free from my king ant who didn't want it anymore.

    On computers, use ad blockers. Don't know about mobile, smart TVs, and others.

  15. It's not just libraries. Anywhere that let people rent DVDs like Redbox.

  16. Ditto. People laugh at me (in my 40s) for still wearing an old school Casio Data Bank 150 calculator watch. I prefer that over smartphones for quickies of the times, alarms, phone numbers, calendars, etc. I care not! I wished current smartwatches were good as those! They're big, heavy, power hogs, etc. :(

    Does Mozilla still support Windows XP SP3 for its products? I thought they dropped that OS support recently. I used to run an updated 14 years old 32-bit Windows XP Pro SP3 too until my old Seagate SATA HDD died due to its clicks of death back in 10/22/2016 in the early mawning hours. I was forced to get a new SATA HDD and install a new Windows (64-bit 7 HPE SP1 this time). That's OK. It was way overdue to start from scratch especially when I stopped doing backups of everything (only do unrecoverable data files).
