Yep, saving passwords, addresses, and cc #s are one of the first things that I disable when setting up Firefox.

Important passwords go exclusively in my manager. I let firefox handle the forum stuff. If someone cracks one of my forum accounts and posts stupid shit, nobody would even notice :^D
 
OMG I'm downloading Corsair's iCUE so I can configure this keyboard, 1.07 gigs! Did they hire ex programmers from HP? Meanwhile, the Razer software I downloaded for the headphones and mouse I just picked up was 7 megs. I know a ton of people hate Synapse but at least it's not 1+ gig, sheieieiiet Corsair.

My laptop has 8 gigs of memory, it's stupid SODIMM so I can't even add more or upgrade it. I'm imagining this Corsair software is going to chew up memory.

I'm installing it now, Ryzen 7 5700u laptop m.2, it literally took 5 minutes to install. I really do think they hired the programmers who use to write HP's drivers LOL. And looks like I spoke too soon giving Razer any credit, the 7 megs was just a launcher that downloaded 400 megs of shit. Better than 1.07 gigs, but still stupid.

I ran out of ketchup, which is odd because I've got it on Subscribe & Save, 2x 910g bottles *per month* (what can I say, I like ketchup). For the past few days I've been wondering how I could have run out of ketchup, both my wife and I have searched the pantry again, still no sign of a spare bottle.

I considered the possibility that maybe I skipped ketchup on the S&S order last month so that's how I've run out, but then my thoughts of 'WTF' were dialled up another notch when my orders list told me that my last order of ketchup was on the 13th of this month, so logically it wasn't even an S&S order, that I used up two bottles of ketchup in two WEEKS.

I then realised that Amazon's order history is quite odd: S&S orders are 'placed' by their system in the middle of the month to be delivered at the end of the month, so the order that I saw mid-this-month is due to arrive tomorrow.

Still, I finished two 910g bottles of ketchup in less than a month. I'm wondering how I should feel about that.
 
Thanks to a condition I have, I have very little sugar (aside from naturally occurring sugars in say meat/rice) in my diet, so ketchup may actually be a food group for me 😀
 
Turns out that wasn't it. The NVR screen that displays the outdoor cameras had locked up and the views were all frozen, so looking at a camera while clicking the button to turn a light on or off wasn't in real time. The switches were working fine, the display was suspended in time.

At least a reboot worked.

Dollar General store brand is the best ketchup I've found. I've tried all the major brands including Red Gold and this is my favorite.

Reason? Sweeter taste? Flows easily from bottle?

There was a time when I diidn't know anything about nutrition. I would open the fridge, see that white bread was there, take out four pieces, cover them up with ketchup and munch on them. Between meals!
 
Against my better judgement, I bought an audiobook from audible without researching particulars first. What I got was a drm infested piece of shit. Now I have to figure out how to crack it without giving myself a virus. Fuckers. Looks like it's time to dust off the eye patch, and polish my cutlass. I don't know why people buy anything digital. Aside from gog and bandcamp, everything sucks.
 
Youtube keeps suggesting animal "rescue" videos of asshats torturing animals. The animals "mysteriously" become entrapped in some impossible manner just as the "noble rescuers" arrive to record themselves saving the day.

That's what I hate now days, even if you want to do the right thing and pay for content it's all full of DRM or in some case is in the cloud, so you don't even own it.

Suppose you could use an aux cable to record it to another PC with Audacity or something but that requires some babysitting to some extent.

This opinion doesn't surprise me one bit. 😛

Dollar General ketchup is made in the same factory as Stop & Shop/Giant house brand. The only differences are the label and the price. While it will do in a pinch it's FAR too sweet.

Do you also think Texas Pete makes a fine quality "hot" sauce? 😉

I've bought normal mp3s off Amazon. Their Kindle titles are crackable in my experience, so I've got standard epub files as backups.
 
I put sim card in my old phone and I'm STILL re-receiving old texts. I really don't know what's going on anymore. Maybe I'll just get an iphone like everybody else keeps telling me to do since that's what everyone else has. Clearly some weird Android issue. I don't get it though since I never had this issue before and nobody else that has android is getting it. Then again most people have iphone so probably why I'm not finding much info online.

You are running a custom ROM. This has nothing to do with stock or a regular skinned Android like Samsung uses.
