Too much white & no delineation.

If I knew what I was doing I wouldn’t had these problems. Seriously you know what you’re doing. So in humility I ask you to elaborate.

Didn’t work.

@FrugalFreak Linux that all banking & government sites worked on. And a seamless office suite that worked with M$ Office. There’s always some stupid website that I desperately need to use that Linux won’t work on. And it’s NOT Linuxes fault it’s the stupid FN website.

Those are the issues keeping me from full time Linux. Hardware compatibility is no longer an issue ime unless you have bleeding edge or ancient tech.

If I have an unknown laptop I want Linux on. Usually by the 3rd Distro everything works. Distrowatch.org is a great resource.

Some things won’t work like switchable graphics.

You know Windows is learning also.

Getting started with Linux.

Thanks but not what I wanted.

You’d be surprised my Bluebird card has been accepted everywhere I’ve tried.

@rasheed said in Best Prepaid Card?:

Chase Liquid?

It is free to get for many existing account holders (even if you put it in some else’s name I believe). I think the ATM and now Zelle access is really nice. The linking is for the no fee part, does not require funds availability be linked.

Chase Liquid has a monthly Service Fee of $4.95. That’s not worth it.

Mods I searched: move, alter or delete as you wish.

I didn’t know Target.com had Subscribe & Save. I know out from under my rock.

What is Target Subscriptions?

Versus Amazon S&S Target S&S comes a few days later not on the 3rd of each month. Very convenient. And canceling Target Subscriptions is only 1 click not 3 or 4 like Amazon.

I believe these are for the S6 not a Samsung branded product.

In 4 1. Lazy paid $5.99 for same day delivery. Who does Best Buy think they are Amazon? I’m betting against same day delivery.

Expecting to buy a new PC laptop soon. Looks like I’m doomed [if I get the specs I want] to have Windows 10 forced on me.

Is there a Windows 10 1st use complete privacy setup, no telemetry etc.? And to get rid of tiles, ads, cortana & crap like that?

@frugalfreak said in Q: W10 1st use complete privacy setup, no telemetry etc.?:

cortana is forced, NO

CRAP but upped TY.

@FrugalFreak - That article makes me ill.

Pretty soon it’ll be mandatory to wear underwear on the outside so M$ can check.
