• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

If it doesn't have number BUTTONS and fold it's a mini tablet with a phone app.

Gimme back my frakin flip PHONE.

I do online banking using a dedicated and wired pc that does nothing but banking. No surfing, no email just the bank.

On the flip side my OH has the Dick Tracey watch and does everything on that and her stupid smart phone so I guess I'm hooped anyway. sigh.

This is what drives me totally bonkers. She uses the same simple password for everything. Nothing I tell her sinks in. Her eyes glaze over and roll back into her head. Apparently I'm a neurotic paranoid half-brain who is afraid of my own shadow........

And then when SWMBO’d accounts get hacked it’s my fault and I get to listen to a stream of complaints about the jerks who messed up her FB and mail. Sigh.
 
All you can do is give her the standard reply.
