        Dragon Ball is huge, with a boatload of games to boot! The last, Awakening, is that a kind of TCG, or is Panini a separate game?
        Unlocked wasn’t great, though a good movie to have on while in the kitchen, as the clear smooth voices of Douglas, Collette, Malkovich and others do not require the hearing aids. πŸ˜›

          Advertising on FTA is trending nowhere fast – and slow, as we expect it to do with respect to any geologic time scale. Can “Secret Science” can be used to make them work more for us?

          “Bad Ad” placements inside ads might work well, featuring punchlines laced with AI generated content even, the good news for super savvy recipients is the novelty shine will tarnish before the year’s out. πŸ˜›

          And the future of advertising, where else but the heavily scented video game urinal of our waking dreams!

            Changed it, hit the save button, bounces back to Options without saving! What happened?
            Yeah, hit the blockquote button and it jumps two lines, could be a reason for it though.
            Will leave 2024 for you in that case, just don’t want duplication with the same things fixed in 2023 breaking again with 2024. That’s it! πŸ™‚

              The following is an excerpt from the ticket posted to the account by me a week ago re the post at Whirlpool.

              A 2016 SAMSUNG GALAXY TABLET TAB A 10.1, and a 2021 SAMSUNG GALAXY TABLET TAB A 8.

              The old Aldi SIM in the A10.1 was working fine since activation 4/2018, and up to last week, with no issues in account, reception coverage or anything else.

              Inserted a SIM from a $5 starter pack into the A8 tablet about 10 days ago, activated the account (with the same phone number), no response from the device, with “out of service” from the SIM status in Settings.
              Manually connecting to Aldi from Settings did not (and will not) work either. The SIM is inserted correctly, after verification with a representative in ALDI store, who indicated there were active bars on the top menu.
              So attempted to insert another new ($5 starter pack) SIM in the older A10.1 tablet, and after system recognizing the SIM was inserted, rebooted, but the same “out of service” issue as the A8 cropped up unfortunately.
              Then, (woe is me) selected the option of _transferring_ the number from the old SIM to the new SIM in the setup, which now renders the original SIM as completely non-functional, producing a “not provisioned” error. Do have that old 20 digit SIM number, however the 2018 activation code cannot be located, so bringing back the old SIM to life may not be possible.
              It is a matter of some urgency, if all else fails, to bring that old (2018) SIM back into service.

              The support guy on the phone said the service provider has their own system of support tickets, so, apparently, he didn’t find it necessary to read any of the above blurb. Lucky him. πŸ˜›
              The original SIM is now permanently un provisioned, thus unusable.
              Many attempts to activate the service on the either SIM with the provider software failed with SIM_not_Found errors, Android spitting out_of_service, cannot_connect etc. Rang first tier support today, they were very patient, the fuzzy landline phone service from their country didn’t help communication. Swapping SIMs didn’t help, they also verified there was never any record in the account of SIM activation back at the end of February, could that have been some kind of glitch, who knows.
              Support (re-)activated the second SIM which was at the time inserted in the old tablet. No connection, swapped with the new tablet, still no dice.
              After the support call, swapped the SIMs again, tried out SIM Device Info, showed up with no SIM present on the old tablet.
              Then, amidst gasps of utter amazement, it showed signs of SIM life on the new tablet, no service though, so swapped SIMS again, so that the old SIM is back in the new tablet, and the new SIM back in the old tablet.
              Praise be to SIM Device Info, the SIM is now detected on the new tablet, and detected with active phone service on the old tablet! πŸ™‚
              Now, with something working at last, how much of a LOF is it in attempting to coax the new SIM to function on the new tablet, as was the original plan? πŸ˜›

                Is there a yellow brick road leading to editing forum post tags? Pet wish is to make urls open in new tab, and remove the line feeds in blockquote.
                Strange thing happened of little or less consequence, uploaded an attachment to Media, and then attempted to delete it, got “Error in deleting the attachment“.
                The Googled WP forum threads indicated various issues related to the error, each of which entailed the traversement of large and cavernous rabbit holes. Whilst fleeing from such predicaments, happened on clicking the “Edit More Details” jumplink bottom right of the attachment in Media, and, deleting from there … faster than Road Runner, vamoose!
                This experience shrewdly and skittishly segued into the posing of an older question, dare we take the plunge into Twenty Twenty-Four?

His facebook posts had no link for it, so I doomscrolled to his first post and commented there, may not have been the best way of reaching out. πŸ˜›
                      The Wikipedia page for HubPages says:

                      In 2018, it was acquired by Maven which gave investors a mild payout.

                      Is it not reasonable to contend that payouts should actually be a combination of all things mild, styled, wild, and piled?

                            No change at the AHK forums as yet, not really a big issue. Tried out a game over there created in V1, he said he derived much of his impetus from ChatGPT, looks this will become more of a thing in the future.
                            Somehow Co-Pilot got switched on in W11 here, and the bottom right minimise_all_windows area was turned off.
                            And something has happened to the mouse in that bottom right area – if approaching that area at moderate speed or greater, the cursor relocates to around an inch above the taskbar on the right. And the resolution of the second (TV) monitor was somehow set to 640X480. Pretty sure it wasn’t PrgLnch, since it hasn’t been launched for ages. 🫀

                                    Vaguely recall Night Game, standard fare for a storyline dappled with embellishments wrought into the pressing matter of that bad old killer being brought to account.
                                    It’s generally accepted Rabbits have enjoyed hearty attention by film directors of the ages, scarce few of those have attempted such delicate and sensitive treatment of sheep as seen in Black Sheep. The gore alone would put most slashers out of business, and has not only put horror back into comedy, but comedy back into horror!

                                      What’s changed with graphic drivers on Windows over the years then? πŸ˜›
                                      Still on ver. 2022.1130 here, thought I updated by installing over- might have to perform a cold refresh. In any case it seems that HYPR-RX won’t be on for the poor old 550, with FPS maxing out at 300, so unable to test. Did notice the settings for Skyrim exactly matched the settings which I had just changed a minute ago, so the game profile info got nixed as well. πŸ™
                                      One redeeming feature is the drivers seem to tap into some of the monitor functions, except notably for view port monitor button twiddles. πŸ™‚

                                        Since signing up, M365 has, if nothing else, been fairly thorough about vetting every email that goes through the system, more than once have items been pulled from Junk for submission to analysis for false flags. These emails originate from well known domains like Choice.com.au, Audacityteam.org, deviantart.com, there are others. Fine, until the emails from the same domains re-appear in junk a month or two down the track.
                                        The other day, got a few of these domains suddenly popping in the Tenant Allow/Block Lists, great, so now we can proceed to whitelist them. Back in the days when things were “simple”, you could quickly blacklist and whitelist emails using programs lke SpamPal with consummate ease. Moving on in technology, things have advanced to something more like slow, tedious, complex, laborious, and rather unreliable. πŸ™

                                          A more straight-forward way is a modification to .htaccess suggested with this SO post, the values can be reduced to suit, /home/server is just the user root btw.
