@nypost Instead of posting a misleading clickbait headline, help raise funds to cover the cost of equipment. @Starlink never promised free terminals, but they have given out a lot. Others, like me, have fronted the cash and organized fundraising to backfill the cost. Help, not harm.

[Caleb Whitmore @calebwhitmore]

@nypost Hey @nypost this article should be corrected. It’s bad journalism and misleading. It’s also hurtful to those who have been affected by this disaster and those of us who are on the ground helping them. I’ve personally put 14 @Starlink kits into action and the free month is great.

@DanielW_Kiwi @WordPress @wp_acf Agree. Businesses require trust and stability. @wpengine and @wp_acf provide that atop the (former?) stability from @WordPress, which isn’t viable for business without a partner like @wpengine or @automattic, and @automattic has just proven they aren’t stable business partners.

[Caleb Whitmore @calebwhitmore]

@WordPress @wp_acf If you’re citing valid security concerns with such a popular and widely used plugin, wouldn’t that have come out in a public fashion, not a stealth and middle of the night literal takeover? This seriously damages community trust in WordPress.

Did @Sonos just commit product suicide? After 15+ years of VERY loyal patronage I’m about to take a hammer to the 9 Sonos units my house after this “update” that was supposed to enhance things and instead made the physical product not work and the App completely unusable. Why?!

[Caleb Whitmore @calebwhitmore]

@AnalyticsNinja You have to enter your passcode on the phone, which is harder with no screen working but not impossible (so long as touch works on the screen). If it’s the first time connecting that phone and computer you have to also hit the “trust device” button on initial connect.

After much searching, I finally figured out how to restore supervised status to my teen's Google account. You have to go to https://t.co/BHk9rnntfQ under the Teen's logged in Google account, and then follow the steps. Then, the parent account gets an email for the same process.

[Caleb Whitmore @calebwhitmore]

Why does @Google make it so hard for parents to add supervision to their teen's Google account? The notion that I am legally responsible for my children until they are 18, yet a 13 year old is inherently capable of unfettered access to and use of Google's services is bizarre.

[Caleb Whitmore @calebwhitmore]

Once a child turns 13 in the US, they can turn off "supervised" status on their Google Account, and do so without parental approval. Restoring this should be extremely easy, yet it is obfuscated and convoluted. Why?

@txsalth2o Have been here several times with my teens in various cases. It’s a learning process and agree, better now than when they are older and launched. Best case: that “friend” on Fitbit? Not a friend actually. And extra scary since they saw morning run routes!

@msaskin @shawngorham Having grown up on and lived the west coast (WA state) but moved to Raleigh in recent years, I can 100% say it is better. You can buy the farm with a lake, and be within an hour of that airport and beach, and do it with so much less cash than what you’d need out west.

@LatePoint That appears to have been the issue. We'll get the plugins updated. We couldn't update them previously because the core version was too old to update to new plugins, and updating to the new plugin broke everything with the plugins installed.

[Caleb Whitmore @calebwhitmore]

Hey @LatePoint, I just upgraded a CodeCanyon license purchased in 2020 to the new Pro license and everything is broken. Support site won't let me submit a ticket because "support is expired." Entire site is broken, and no way to contact you after upgrading? Not a good welcome...

Our friends just learned their 8 year old has Leukemia. Join us in supporting his fight. https://t.co/bJWPgi1hh4

[Caleb Whitmore @calebwhitmore]

Did I miss a memo about today? Seems like it is “incompetent customer support day.” Literally every interaction with a customer service agent today has been painful. Not reading the question. Unable to properly spell even the wrong answer. Multiple tickets to clarify. Ugh…

Fuerhermore, Once I leave the country it will cost me $0.25 per minute to listen to their mediocre hold music.

Anyone know how to reach @FlyAirNZ? 8 hours on hold and no answer. I booked 6 tickets in April for a flight in late January. They’ve moved the flight by two days and I’ve had to buy new much more expensive flights on a different airline to keep the rest of our trip on track.

[Caleb Whitmore @calebwhitmore]

I spent 4 hours on hold today, 3 on Thursday, and 3 a couple weeks ago. I did get through back in early December and they said the 2 day flight change would have no compensation. Crazy. I’d have to pay 2 nights hotel for 6 people or buy new flights.

The world makes sense again! @Delta has returned the little pillows and blankets!
