Who wants to risk going to Trumpistan
while he is runinig the show?
You might end up in El Salvador with a shaved head and gone forever without due process.
The risk is far too great for anyone who isn't a MAGA faithful.

They'd get the plane, paint it grey and let it rot in the Arizona Desert alongside a get thousand other aircraft. Park it, take the engines off and gut the interior.
Chump will never think to look there. As long as there is no gold inside, he will be blind.
Failing that, I'm sure a wayward missile from an F-35 would save the taxpayers a lot of $$$$. Doge? Where are you when you are needed?
The Orange Jesus said recently that he 'Did not know' if he had to obey the rulings of SCOTUS.
His 'I Don't Know' response showed just how demented he is.
I suspect that his next move will be to arrest all 9 judges on SCOTUS on charges of treason, suspend the constitution and declare Martial Law. That way, the elections this year, next year and 2028 will be cancelled. He promised that 'I only need your vote this once. After, it will be fixed'.
Wasn't that Elongated Muskrat with his $250M bribe?
Once upon a time, he would have supported this sueball what with him owning a plant that makes solar stuff... but now? Forget it. His DOGY crew will be busy digging up dirt on the AG's so that the Orange Pope can sling it all back at them.
Doh!
Biden (when he wasn't sleeping) got the Chips Act passed into Law. TSMC are (or were the last I heard) building a FAB in Arizona. Totally the wrong place if you ask me due to the water shortage... but they were.
Now that the Orange Jesus has take almost as bad a dislike to the EU as he has for China, those cutting edge machines to make the wafers are going to cost an awful lot more to import. That might dissuade TSMC from going ahead with the project. The laws of unintended consequences and all that but that is way beyond the understanding of Donald 'I know more about everything than anyone ever' Trump does not have the brain to understand that. Why? There is nothing in it for him personally. Pure and simple.
So, BombasticBob, what is the plan if Tariffs won't matter much? Remember, he's tariffing nations that did not have a trade surplus with the USA AND ones where Trump 1.0 negotiated a trade deal with last time around.
Please tell us this cunning plan. Every day, Trump comes up with more wild ideas that really do remind many of us with Baldrick.
When Mr Garcia is returned, he has a slam-dunk defamation case against everyone from Trump down. One commentator was talking $500M just from Donald alone. That's probably why they don't want him back.
Bondi is in deep do-do for publicising the address of his wife and children. All in all, it is one big Cock-up and just what the world has come to expect from Donald 'I know more about everything than anyone who has ever lived' Trump.
Donald 'Thin Skin' Trump won't stop until you are in Gitmo/Rwanda or somewhere worse.
He hates people telling the truth. He surrounds himself with useless 'Yes Men' (very few women in Trump's cabinet compared to Biden's) who will never tell him 'Sorry sir, you are wrong'.
This is evidenced by him saying that his lawyers told him that he won the Garcia case in front of SCOTUS 9-0 when he lost if 9-0. He refused (in a recent interview) to accept that his lawyers were telling him what he wanted to hear rather than the truth.
The sooner he is confined to Mar-A-Lago for life and a 30ft razor wire fence installed around it to keep him inside the better.
This:-
When I set up a new account in *MY* domain, I do not want you to ask for a mobile number to 'verify' the account I have just set up, thank you..
Is a sad fact of life these days. That's why I have 512 extra email addresses on my domain. I use a new one them for this sort of crap. Helps you find out who has wonky security/leaks but this whole verification thing using mobiles is a PITA. Lose the phone (aka having it stolen) and you are in deep, deep shit as you try to recover your life. IMHO, using email on your phone only makes identity theft so much easier.
Why wait for retirement? Do it now so it will all be up and running on the day that you call it time on your job.
I gave windows the middle finger for personal use in 2008 but didn't retire until 2016. While I use Linux for many things, I use a MacBook with MacOS as my daily workhorse.
Windows is now a distant memory for me and given the regular reports here on the never ending shit show that MS is determined to turn it into, I don't regret it one little bit.
Whereas in the USA and according to the current Government's list of approved words (that ban the use of Trans anything) WOMAN or WOMEN is not allowed. MAN and MALE is.
This is clearly the prelude to 'A Handmaids Tale' society being introduced by Stephen 'Goebbels' Miller.
Yeah, that same thing that was managed by the EPA that Trump has just removed all rules and regulations on it in one horrible signature of an Executive Order.
Trump has just given the green light to pollute everything in the USA in search of the $$$$.
Those researchers will find plenty of new areas to investigate and problems that need solving
Oh, and watch out for more animal species in the USA going extinct. The rules protecting them have gone just like all the EPA ones.
has done this because he is an idiot who does not know how the world economy works.
The drop off in Tourists going to Truimpistan is going to hit places like Florida and Vegas. The latter, by all reports is more dead than alive.
With businesses now avoiding the USA for travel and now cloud services... Good. Hit Trumpistan in the wallet. $$$ is the only thing that Trump worships.
Whose only crime as I see it was to say that the 2020 election was the most secure ever is now under threat of 'Trump's Retribution' as President 'Thin Skin' is still griping about that election.
If some of the statements coming out of Trump's Reichstag are to be believed, then Mr Krebs might be the first US Citizen to be sent to El Salvador without 'due process' or if there is any, it will be done in secret and Drumpf does not want his dirty linen being exposed to the great unwashed MAGA cult.
With no regrets whatsoever.
MS can faff around all they like and for people like me, it provides endless entertainment that is also tinged with sadness at all those who have tied their IT life to the MS Mast.
The redmond crew seem to be spending more time fiddling while rome burns recently and ignoring their customers.
I look back at the years I spent fighting the Windows Weirdness and can smile. What is not so funny is their total lack of quality control over their patches.
A long, long time ago, I wrote device drivers for some other operating systems. From time to time, making the changes to the kernel and rebuilding it was a journey into the unknown. The more recent W11 patch releases seem like that.
Sorry, already happening with Social Security.
Don't worry people, the Trumpistan militia (DOGY) are already going after other targets such as attempting to get Amazon etc to stop stocking books that are critical of the 'Dear Leader'. Books by Mary Trump, Brian Tyler Cohen and David Pakman are on the list for being removed which is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment but that won't stop these N***s.
[FOR USA ONLY]
they may well end up in Trump's pocket.
Those shiny new PC's/Laptops for W11 will now cost more than a week ago. Well done Donald. I hope that [cough][cough] donation to your PAC from Microsoft was worth it.
meanwhile, the rest of the world is thinking long and hard about their relationship with the USA. I expect a lot of people will give MS (And thereby the USA) the finger and move to Linux.
Personally, I have deferred buying any IT kit or software from US companies until Trump is out of office.
Even Ronald Reagan was against the use of blanket tariffs. There is a video of him speaking about the use and misuse of them. There is a post on the Meidastouch network about it earlier.
It goes without saying that Trump the Toddler can't understand things that complex.
And for the current Treasury Sec to NOT be part of the team developing tariffs speaks volumes.
US companies are already laying off workers. Stellantis and Whirlpool to name two.
Yet, according to Trump, they are still winning. He's off to Mar-a-lardon playing golf again. Part time President.
Sorry Adam.... We are not all using webmail.
Ok, so you have your own email server so using webmail to that is ok in my mind. Most of us don't have or even want to run our own email server.
Having all my emails to hand when I'm offline is brilliant. Yes, there are times when I disconnect from the internet (by choice). The lack of notifications and email bleeps is wonderful. Perhaps you should try it again....?
I've been using T'Bird since around 2007 and have shifted my use from Windows to Linux and now to MacOS. With T'Bird, just copy all the files, edit your profile to point to these files and you are away and running on a new device.
could I change to something else? Probably not unless I could import all my emails from T'Bird and export them if it turns out to be useless then I might try something.
I, for one, will continue NOT using Webmail and yes, I do put some money into T'Bird development. Not a lot but not zero.
If you are a real IT Pro then you will know that there are alternatives to that bug ridden POS called Adobe Reader.
My personal favourite is FOXIT.
That said, MS is a POS big time. Lookout is a prime example of how screwed up they are by the whims of the marketing drones. We don't need AI in everything. Many bits of software do what it says on the tin perfectly and has no need for any AI Enhancements to make it [cough][cough] better.
As for Chrome... best avoided.
Then we are truly FSCK'd when they switch off 3G if your claim is correct.
I don't see it that way.
Yes there are still phone dead spots. 2G on a good day at best. One of those near me was 'fixed' only months ago and I'm 18 miles from the M25.
Well... Elongated Muskrat can afford to hire every lawyer in the USA (and beyond) but that won't be needed.
Trump will sign an executive order dictating that all court orders are to be ignored and that all judges are to be sent to Gitmo. No one talks back to Trump. The supreme leader must be obeyed.
is only slow when the consumers of TV are so used to everything being solved in 42 minutes of programming and lots of guns, car chases and explosions.
Bring back the Potters Wheel instead of endless ads for chemically enhanced washing crap (smells so fresh that it must be nice), funeral plans and shampoo.
Give me a Guiness Toucan ad everytime.
