Thanks. I gave him this suggestion and the one from others about using the manufacturer’s proprietary drivers.

Amazon has been progressively getting worse and worse. I was not a member of Prime for the video. It was a nice perk.

The combination of Amazon making it hard to search for things to buy, the huge amount of low quality crap for sale with confusing descriptions, and this most recent change of putting in place ads if I do not pay an additional fee has led me to cancel my subscription.

They have taken the enshittification too far. Good bye Amazon. Hello Home Depot, Target, et al.

I didn’t mean the message to sound the way it did. You already have the Spot messenger and it is a cool product. I just wanted to present another useful way to signal for emergency help in remote areas.

Why not use one of these instead? The main downside I see is that you can’t send messages. But there is no monthly service fee. :)

lol. He is just stirring the pot. It’s what he does. I recommend ignoring him and just using something else. It is either going to sink or not.

Ex-twitter seems to me to be going in a disjointed “by the seat of the pants” direction. It’s like a kid playing with his new toy. “My toy, I make the rules and I don’t care what you think.”

The thing is, it technically is his toy. It is not a global square. It is a private company. I take issue with what has been going on, but my opinions are irrelevant to the situation.
