@GridTracker what part of "Stop Asking" do you not understand ? Despite marking the relevant box several days ago to stop being asked to install updates I'm still getting the popup.

@parkerreed @SamsungNotebook I think just about all of the big name phone/tablet/notebook and related software makers/providers hate users now days. They seem to be highly focused on doing whatever they can to alienate as many users as possible.

Aaaaaand goodbye twitter. The one thing still making you marginally useable was tweetdeck. With that gone, you're no longer useful.

For those few that follow me, I'll probably check in once in a while for dms and mentions but beyond that twitter w/o tweetdeck is worthless.

@SwifferKitty just saying hi from N/G as we both watch a modern Titanic.

@Dstefaniak_23 @VinceWaelti No room to make the long post I'd like to, so summary :: (a) I agree with everything you said (b) I like the long range full view shots like the bins shot above (c) But I also love close views as above but with a calm explanation of what the 'nado is doing instead of freakouts.

Every day it seems you see a new "Make <something> <something> again." statement on a shirt or sticker or meme or whatever. I have a proposal for yet another one ....

"Make Politicians Trustworthy Again"

@aviationbrk Cockpit seats are going to need cleaning or replacing after that.

[MicroChip @microchip32]

Seriously @twitter, you count refreshing against the rate even though there's few if any new tweets that -I- see ? #TwitterFail

[MicroChip @microchip32]

Where do I set up content filtering in the new @TweetDeck ? Did they remove it ?!

@m17_project Who's who ?

[MicroChip @microchip32]

Silly people ... Bugs Bunny of course !

Who’s a character you’d want to have your back if shit went down?

@VinceWaelti @WestTnWeTracker It's a bit scary how little it takes to !--temporarily makeshift--! treat just about any wound that doesn't involve stuff being outside that belongs inside.

[MicroChip @microchip32]

@parkerreed Well at least their hardware is secure. If only their firmware was.

@tiltfive #1 T5 wishlist item is a tested and proven 6' or more usb extension cable.

[MicroChip @microchip32]

Here's how my day has gone -- I just made this [mostly serious] comment to a friend ...

"Figuring out how to do something that can't be done is so much easier."

[MicroChip @microchip32]

@VinceWaelti Does this mean that next year you'll up the game with a storm-chasing yacht ? =)

[MicroChip @microchip32]

@GarethDEdwards Not broken, just been watching too many yt shorts ... ... ... ... ok I guess that would qualify as broken too. =)

[MicroChip @microchip32]

@tiltfive is there another _verified_ usb extension cable of at least 6 ft that works with T5 other than the one listed on the support page that's been unavailable for months ?

[MicroChip @microchip32]

@m17_project @jaebird I would swap the config gear and the signal bars so that all the indicators are on one side like most cell phones we're all used to.
