so I've never been a fan of stupidity, mine or anyone elses', and Microsoft seems to have staff meetings to escalate theirs.
Enter Apple.
I really don't watch much TV, maybe 1 or 2 football games a year (never soccer) and some ice hockey now and then, but I discovered I can see game re-caps on youtube, so good enough for me. I'm simply not going to pay $75/month for the right to turn off garbage tv. So Spielberg and Hanks FINALLY came out with Masters of the Air which was mostly utter nonsense with the exception of the US Army Airforce crews being slaughtered until the P51 Mustang became available. The German pilots were mean SOBs - no offense intended. So, I subscribed to Apple TV to catch the episodes, and with the last episode, I canceled my subscription. Or so I thought.
Checking credit card statements, they have continued to charge me, and on their web site make it nigh impossible to cancel. Canceled it twice, still being charged. Cannot get anyone to help me - they claim they do, but the charges kept coming. Okay, want to play this game? Created a virtual credit card # with a $1/day max amount, swapped the apple tv <-- this is my mistake here -- to that account #. I also refused the charges on my account. Do you think Apple might contact me? I've had an iPhone for 6+ years, etc. Nope.
My iPhone will no longer allow me access to the app store (all I tried to do was update a free app).
This is why I DESPISE single login. It is 8am on the east coast of America, 6/2/2024. I will now start a gambling pool for when all $hit breaks loose from my wife, older daughter, younger daughter who are all on my account.

Apparently this is actually a thing. My wife had told me about it.

The summer Olympics will soon be held in Paris. The government has spent $1.5B cleaning up the Seine so that it can be used for aquatic events. Macron and the mayor of Paris have promised to swim in the river to prove its cleanliness. Therefore, a mass "Defecate in the Seine" event is being organized. Apparently it's going swimmingly.

Perhaps the government should not have made public the amount spent in this.

"Vive la France!"
Bear with me here.
Having 4 USARMY soldiers and at least two Marines (all who are not IT and have gone outside the wire, well the 3rd son jumps out of planes - name your altitude) in the family, the French used to be despised or at least disparaged in this household. As for the # of people who have served or are serving, I have lost count. I have an extensive extended family, I quit facebook, I don't do X, and I don't do Instagram, so I have lost count of the great grand children, but I have a lock on the grand kids, so I count them as well.
That said, I came across this letter when two of my sons were in heavy combat: https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/1wbyiq/american_troops_as_seen_by_a_french_soldier_a/[^]
I don't think this is false, I'm sure "snopes" will disparage it, but I want it to be real. My judgement of the French went up about 10000%. you are pissy, snobbish, down right annoying (I could be describing Americans or drunk British soccer fans - I'm on a roll this morning) but any country that has citizens doing this - hat's off. I also like farmers that revolt. Oh A, Canadian truckers too  .
I don't like government as you can tell. we still have crap we're tearing down in Atlanta from 1996. You Frogs, keep it up

Well, that's improved from Microsoft's point of view, isn't it?
