I enjoy Flack's line, "I used to be good at computers." I get it.

I needed more storage space so I bought an 8TB drive off Amazon. They said it would be delivered "overnight." They've never done that. There's always some problem. Three days later I just asked for a refund.

I bought another one from of those resellers on A
Amazon. This one literally beeped on boot. Refunding this one too.

At first I thought it was me until I heard the plates get stuck and the beeps. I think we are still good with computers. It's everyone else that got lazy and corrupt.

Those games that advertise on YouTube are offering their program in a version for the PC. Not a browser game, but an actual download. So I download their installer and it proceeds to do its business.

The game starts with a pop-up box which reads "Please confirm you have read and agree with our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy before you start the game" and an Agree button at the bottom. The words I have marked in blue are white on a dark background. The items I show in underlined orange are links to open a browser window displaying their Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, of course, and that's the exact way it does it

The link to "Terms and Conditions" opens the page to their Privacy Policy, and the link to "Privacy Policy" opens the page to their Terms and conditions.
