The mall was dying by the 80's, there was a sharp decline by then (I recall seeing numerous malls going vacant in the 90's, around the country).

The things that drove mall popularity (especially things like large, enclosed, air-conditioned space), were no longer novel. Most cars were air-conditioned by then.

I'm sure there are many other factors, like the growth of free-standing single-vendor buildings (so construction and management costs must've changed).

Amazon really had nothing to do with it.

And anything going from Apple to another Apple won't be via RCS.

Gotta use /s to ensure it's understood.

Text lacks tone.

Plus it's still tied to a phone number.

Why do I need another shitty messaging app that's tied to my phone number, in the 21st century, when I've had proper hardware-I dependent network-based, cross-platform, messaging apps on my phone since 2009?

So, what's the utility of labeling yourself a "bad person"?

Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it's the nature of being human. And we're all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.

What's more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.

Negative self-talk doesn't help.

Run it in a VM, then get the NoCD from gamecopyworld?

(Not sure if that's an option for securom)

If you currently have an IP camera setup, add Tailscale to your network with the Subnet Routing feature enabled.

You can then access that camera from anywhere.

Optionally also enable the Funnel feature, and you won't even need the Tailscale client.

My Lexmark laser, from 1996, just quit last summer.

Though I think I can fix it - seems a paper jam sensor is stuck.

If you've owned more than 2, those are on you! 🤣

But yea, consumer printers suck.

Lol, have my upvote for a great backstory!

Also, I think the word you want is "apprised", which means "to inform", while "appraised" means "to evaluate".

Lots of homonyms in English, another pair is "weary/wary". Weary means fatigued, wary means cautious.

Is this the same mechanism used by balancing beads used in motorcycle wheels?

I've tested converting DVDs at different resolutions, and playing them on a 60" screen sitting 6' away.

720 is just fine. I really can't tell a difference between 720 and 1080, usually. Surprisingly.
