I had forgotten my password but still had access to a email address I used previously but not the one it was currently set to and they were able to reset it for me.
I used the passwords@slashdot.org email address for support.
This was back before the most recent change in management tho.
It was announced back in may it's now july and it still can't do it. Although I'm sure it will be awesome whenever it actually does launch.
It's pretty unusual tho the headlines were very misleading implying it could actually make calls on that date not just that the feature had been announced and would be available eventually.
They say i'm a good candidate for lasik but can't convince myself that the slight risk of major complications is worth not having to wear glasses.
Especially since wearing glasses has saved my eyes from damage in a few situations where I wasn't wearing safety glasses.
I can't wear contacts I don't blink enough they dry out and peel off when I blink I might try something like restasis and try it again sometime that didn't exist when I first tried contacts.
Hope your situation improves the only other thing I can recommend if you decide to go back to glasses again is getting one that has a 2 way hinge otherwise the flexing from putting it on your head will eventually cause the frame to break on the edge where the side connects.
You could say "all new vehicles are required to have automatic braking after july 8th 2020" Then they have 3 years that's how that usually works anyway.
It will take a very long time for the older stuff to work it's way out of the market but it's still the most reasonable way to do it.
Personally i've yet to use one with automatic braking my concern is how badly does it screw up when it screws up?
I was referring to the song AC mentioned where in the lyrics they claim to be a pirate. Apparently not...
Online tv/radio style non-interactive streaming should still be covered by the existing decision but interactive services that allow you to pick exactly what you want when you want are really iffy.
If a law isn't accessible by the layman it shouldn't be enforceable. Ignorance of the law absolutely should be a defense in such cases that no person would have reasonably known about it or even been able to find out about it for that matter.
In today's world that would mean it has to be publicly available online storing it in a filing cabinet in the Central Bureaucracy available only to lawyers shouldn't be acceptable.
That's not really enough but it should be the minimum.
At work a law change put our industry under regulation of yet another government agency yet said gov't agency will not or can not answer any questions about how said law applies to us from my understanding they don't even know and are just waiting until they get to pick some poor business for a trial run to see what the bill actually does.
i've read the bill it wasn't specific enough for us to know how it interacts with the state laws. So we're pretty much SOL.
A summary would be nice but they can't be trusted to so much as provide a accurate title (patriot act anyone?) I don't think I would want to trust them with a summary either. However summaries are only good enough for people who aren't directly affected by the law everyone else needs to actually read it because then the exact details matter.
Yeah I got that part it wouldn't be that bad if they were so much as remotely informed of the contents of the bill but they aren't.
The current disaster of a healthcare bill is a good example of this. No one really seems to have any intention of even attempting to fix that problem tho.
Stream ripping from services that let you pick the exact content is probably illegal. Recording things from tv or radio for personal use is however absolutely legal.
As for a slightly related question if ignorance of the law is no defense why is it so difficult to find (requiring a lawyer and even then it's iffy) what laws actually apply to a situation?
Wasn't it decided with Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... that it was fair use (legal) to record things off the tv (and by implication radio) to watch/listen to later?
Ah I see the song was released in 1980 and the court decision was in 1984 so at the time the song was released people actually thought it was illegal to record music off the radio to listen to later?
I picked it because I assumed since they made windows it would be able to automatically do the fix up required when restoring to a diffrent system handle resizing the file system and it supported using of a bunch of discs as pooled storage for backup in hindsight using 5 drives setup as equivilent of raid 0 was a terrible idea. Although somehow I didn't loose any data from drive failure it was just mhs screwing up.
It could do all of those things to a point the hardware support for restore was terrible.
But for a company making a paid backup software to not have any real support what so ever when it screws up and you can't open your backups is just crazy.

Good luck :)
Why can't you get your ID back?
I would go with the episode Overclockwise where Bender seeks a mistrial on the grounds of double jeopardy.
That's the closest example I can think of.
So everything's fine then? I mean I already have a security picture and it makes me enter in a security question each time.
If there was actually a problem they could just lock all the accounts in question and require a reset of the information in question.
I just logged in none of that happened.
I'm nearsighted now so if I get to where I don't have sight for nearby things I'll be pretty much blind.
I can see about 2-3 feet out before it gets blurry.
I think it was some type of ray? Maybe a Manta ray?
Something named after some type of fish that the gov't may have used to put some of them in there in the first place?
Thanks to you both.
I've seen that episode I just didn't remember there being a movie.
IMHO he should have kept the clover anyway it would have made for an interesting episode.
Echo can call other echo's and other echo users via the app but not actually make calls.
I think it's very unlikely the sheriffs office just so happened to have an echo in the office connected to their office number.
Wait Philip J. Fry was in a movie in futurama? Or was that something they made up for the bit?
I'm pretty sure i've seen every episode but I don't remember that.
It was announced back in may it's now july and it still can't do it.
Although I'm sure it will be awesome whenever it actually does launch.
It's pretty unusual tho the headlines were very misleading implying it could actually make calls on that date not just that the feature had been announced and would be available eventually.
Does anyone know what device they actually had?
Neither the Amazon Echo or Google Home can currently make phone calls.
I would very much like to have one that can.
Well as long as you're sure it's a dog.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I have to be sure I leave them in one of a few places if I leave them anywhere else I will have to spend at least a half hour looking for them.
I'd have gotten bright neon frames on my glasses if they had been offered.

I still think windows home server was a disaster.
Oh it just occasionally corrupts backups so you can't open them.
It was never fixed!
No way to repair or recover the data was ever provided.
Then they took out Drive Extender and still didn't fix it.
I think you meant virustotal.com
Now you know your friend is paying $1/mo extra for a service they aren't using because they CBA to login to their account online and remove it.
go here: https://ebillpay.verizonwirele...
go to "Manage Your Products" find "Ringback Tones" click "Remove From Account"
Then go into Get Products > FREE PRODUCTS
Find "Share Name ID" and add it to your line
Then go to https://myvpostpay.verizonwire...
Set name to custom "SLASHDOTWASHERE"
Or if your feeling like a normal person you could put your actual name or business name there!
Verizon changed everyone's caller ID to "Wireless caller" a few years ago to screw with people but now you can set it to anything you like for free.
Done now your saving $1/mo and when you call people they can see you are a person an not a telemarketer.
So sort of like that scene from the demented cartoon movie?
