    Do you consider cloud storage like Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, etc a backup solution.

    Stop pirating, since the 90s? NEVER. Like I said, I ran a warez BBS and have been online using social media longer than probably 90% of the people on this forum. The other show I watched was Top Gear, since I am the founder and CEO of a company that deals with German cars. And their new show on...

    I don't need to pay for cable AND internet. A lot of people have "cut the cord", with high speed internet and netflix, for those who don't know how to pirate. I really haven't watched any TV shows in the last 10 years, except Family Guy and Game of Thrones. Not really a great show either.

    I haven't owned a TV for about 10 years, and only seen a few movies. Not much worth watching. I just pirate any video or show I want. I don't read many tech articles anymore either. Used to read Computer Shopper a lot when I was a kid. More interested in www.internet2.edu

    I've seen every video on the internet, and I have to say I'm disappointed. Seriously, why pay for netflix or hulu when you can just pirate it, which I have been doing since the 90s. Lost data? I lost all my damn emails from msn when those asshats upgraded their email. They also had file...

    QQ, the Chinese chat program / Tencent offers 10TB? Better hope they're not storing it all on counterfeit SanDisk thumb drives. I stopped using QQ and my Qzone years ago. I found out about it in 1999 and created a Qzone in 2005 when it launched. When I studied in China, all the girls wanted my...

    comcrap had backup, personal storage, and webspaces. Up to 7 accounts at 10GB each. They deleted them last year, and failed to send many people emails. I don't know of any company that makes HDD going out of business. I had a 250MB tape drive on my 486DX and it was slow and loud. I only used it...

    That can be said for any company. That's why I do not use anyone. Like I said before, I've seen ISPs go bankrupt along with other companies, and other companies change or delete their services and screw everyone.

    Netzero and unlimited free internet, anyone? Then they started charging money. I used 1 or 2 pay bars on top of that to earn $30 every 2 months, and cheated using a program to move the cursor while I slept. Some claim to have made thousands of CASH MONEY a month from referrals. One company...

    I have a 1080 camcorder and see no need for 4K. 99% of the world is still using 1080 and less, and on TN panels. I use a VA panel. I had a 15" Trinitron, I believe in '92, and another MAG Trinitron 17" in '98 until it became blurry.

    The QQ chat app used to have some storage space to upload files. I don't remember how much they gave you or if they still have it. I logged into my Qzone a few months ago, and they changed the layout. My music didn't play. I don't remember if I linked the files to my now dead comcrap storage or...

    I studied in China. You do not want to trust them with your data. I also used to use QQ and Qzone. They have also invaded newegg, selling counterfeit garbage.

    They're evil when they charge $300 for 2Gb when Google charges $70 for 1Gb. Comcrap charges $130 for 150Mb, that's close to double but 2Gb is 13x faster. They hide speed packages and overcharge. I found 75Mb for the SAME price I was paying for 15Mb. I bitched them out and went to 75, come to...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UM.SiteMaker It was easier to setup and use than your personal webspace, but they only gave you 100MB to start out with when your personal space was 1GB then they gave 10GB a while later. Sitemaker and comcrap shut down their services at nearly the same time last...

    I've been using computers and social media since the 80s. My 2nd PC had a 250MB tape drive and 200MB HD on a 486DX33 16MB RAM, running my warez BBS with Fidonet. I do not trust anyone with my data and it's faster with my SSDs. 950 PROs. I have seen websites and ISPs go out of business and stop...

    Amazon Prime’s New Monthly Plans To Compete With Netflix

    I get free 2 day shipping since I have a business account. I tested it by ordering PC stuff, and 1 out of 10 items shipped from amazon. 2 day shipping was not offered. BIG disappointment. Sticking with newegg. They get your order processed faster also. Everything else I can pirate. Don't need to...
