@error Would you rather want consoling or a console at this point? Because you seem to be complaining about a lack of both of them...
Oh, no, I got a rather rough extended consoling session in yesterday. I still have no PS5 though.

@HardwareGeek said in The Official Status Thread:
Good old non-carrier phone. I'm not sure it's ever gotten any OS updates, only app updates.
The Android One program is one of the few recent good ideas they've had. TLDR: third-party devices with Android One get all the security updates within a few weeks of official Android. My phone, released in 2018, has the Feb 1 2021 security update right now.

If you mean mine, it's a green-cheeked conure. I wanted a macaw, but someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

@Zenith said in The Official Status Thread:
As far as they were concerned, as long as the seller sent anything (a brick, used napkins, an empty box), that was good enough.
They must be taking their cue from the Michigan Supreme Court. The Michigan "Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Act" makes it illegal to charge for repairs that are not "in fact performed". The Court ruled that the repair need not be finished to be "performed" under the act. Specifically, a tire rotation is "performed" when the tires are moved; it is not necessary to tighten the lug nuts in order to charge for a completed tire rotation. Even if the failure to tighten the lug nuts results in a crash and injuries.

Has Android OS updates for two years.[19]
Has regular security patch updates for three years.[20]Even if my phone were Android One, it's beyond either of those limits now. Looking at my spending history, I probably bought it in July 2016.

Are you completely sure that's what happened? If the buyer claims it was broken in transit, there's probably not much you can do (even if he did break it after he got it)

Hah! I beat him by 10 days. (I think. I didn't note what I bought at Fry's, but that purchase was about the right amount, and it was immediately followed by a purchase at T-Mobile, so it's very likely the phone purchase.)

I'd recommend you start with higher gauge nails and work your way toward the lower (thicker) gauge.

Motherfuckers if they weren't I wouldn't be accessing the site in which I'm chatting with you on, and if you're expecting inbound traffic on those ports you're retarded for believing a customer is necessarily serving up webpages from their house and that's the reason the VPN isn't working!

Your friends, or your providers friends, or some people who knew someone related to the flatmate of the barman at the hotel that your provider's friends stayed at that one time six years ago?

Status: I wanted to buy some silver coins (pic related).
PayPal is such a snoop. It decided it recognizes my computer, even though I always uncheck "remember this device" everywhere I log into anything, and wants to charge my business account. There's a link that says "Not you?" to log out but, of course, it just goes right back through the autodetect
.
Why was I using PayPal instead of a credit card? In an episode of bad UI, you just can't check the checkbox for credit cards. No prompt or red text or anything. Search the help page and it tells you only established customers can use a credit card. You can mail a check (yes, really) or run that card through a middleman (PayPal) but not just do what every store in the world is able to do. Anyway, I took "established customers" to mean "registered accounts" and signed up. Nope, still can't. But I wanted that stupid coin so fortunately incognito mode defeated their stupid detection.
Edit: BoldPreciousMetals has a really stupid website. Originally I wanted to order some real coins and a WallStreetBets coin. When I went back to order, the latter was nowhere to be found, not under the silver rounds section and not in the search function. I saw the dog meme coin and ordered that instead. Then I went back to Google to find a picture of the coin with a direct link to the site it disappeared from.

Toby faire, if my ISP would open those inbound ports, I'd definitely be serving up webpages from my house, after updating the 10 year old version of Linux on my
15+ yo surplus desktop PCweb server.
