raging is who they are. it’s what they do. he’s been doing it since obama, the far right since rush and fox ‘news’ each launched. it’s basically all they have. it’s not like they have policies or a platform to benefit the people, the nation, the world, the planet…

samsung’s printer business was acquiredextinguished by the devilhp in 2017

if you’ve not ever updated the firmware of the printer, it might just be a faulty third-party cartridge. try another.

if the one you’re having difficulty with was a recent purchase, ask the vendor for a swap. the good ones will happily send another.

shall we list all the bad things ‘conservatives’ are likely to do if they disagreed with you? do we even have enough time or storage space to do that?

friends don’t let friends microwave pizza rolls.

i cast BSOD

on amazon, you aren’t buying “from” lenovo or apple. i don’t recall ever seeing a major pc builder/oem with their own marketplace account; and rarely even from amazon itself. most of the computers up for sale on amazon are offered and sold by third-party marketplace sellers.

if you’re ‘concerned’ to the point of raising the question to begin with–yes, buy locally with cash.

tenfold? imagine if an adversary had free and unfettered access to every network those morons have touched…

oh. right. the adversary is already there.

a two-minute scan of products for sale on amazon will tell you that society is to the point of mashing keyboards to string letters together to come up with company names. this at least has consonants and vowels arranged in an order that resembles a word.

democrats are simply the ‘lesser evil’, and have been since the 1960s, at least… and we’ve needed a viable third party left of the mainstream for longer.

republican administrations drag us down and undo gains made. democrats repair some of the damage–but never quite enough, never push progress enough. they lose. it gets undone again and the cycle repeats.

but now it’s all getting destroyed. there may not be a continuation of the cycle. it’s hell from here on until ‘trumpism’ and maga are what is completely destroyed.

i find ddg sufficient for nearly everything. occasionally i will go to startpage or ecosia or mojeek for a different ‘perspective’, but that is not very often at all. i also use wolframalpha almost daily for some sort of calculation or conversion.

i haven’t used google or bing except by accident when using someone else’s browser or device (that is, when i forget to go to duck.com first).

yes, it is. but between it and graphhopper (or osm), it’s “enough” for me.

i don’t need a feature-filled “app” (my phone is ‘dumb’), and the only time i end up on something else like bing or google maps is if a site i need to use embeds and relies upon them.

muskrat’s new flying cars will save us from decaying and crumbling infrastructure.

is that mythical balanced budget gonna happen before or after you steal more from future generations by piling trillions onto the national debt to give handouts to the rich… ?

ddg maps is just a no-frills apple maps.

that would be funny, won’t happen–but funny af. google loses chrome, new owners revert mv2’s removal and go all-in on user control of their browser experience.

i expect at least the ‘big’ ‘non megacorp’ chromium based ones like vivaldi, opera, brave to keep mv2 as long as it is possible.

but i can totally see google doing some serious mangling of the codebase to make patching-in mv2 difficult.

i was able to load it in a (not chrome) chromium-based browser without issue, just the notice across the addon’s page.

the ‘lite’ version is also on there, seems to work ‘ok’. adguard and a few others are also there–they must all be mv3, as only the full ubo has the warning notice on its page of those i checked.

all the mv3 ones run the risk of having updates rejected or delayed by google, especially if they contain code or filter updates (filters must be packed with the addon in mv3) to combat changes google makes to their own sites. firefox or a trusted customized build or maintained fork is the way to go now.

It was sold by Amazon itself rather than a third-party seller, which is often the case with these sorts of fake items.

The fact that the packaging was sealed and the CPU was unused suggests that this was not one of those instances in which someone bought an item and replaced it with a fake before sending it back for a refund.

co-mingled inventory strikes again.

That’s because he and his kind believe government is useless and can just be broken without losing anything important.

kinda like racks of servers that keep a social media site used by 100s of millions of users? the ones muskrat just yanked willy-nilly out of a data center and loaded onto uhauls? it took weeks for twitter to repair that damage.
