@nypost Instead of posting a misleading clickbait headline, help raise funds to cover the cost of equipment. @Starlink never promised free terminals, but they have given out a lot. Others, like me, have fronted the cash and organized fundraising to backfill the cost. Help, not harm.

@nypost Hey @nypost this article should be corrected. It’s bad journalism and misleading. It’s also hurtful to those who have been affected by this disaster and those of us who are on the ground helping them. I’ve personally put 14 @Starlink kits into action and the free month is great.

@DanielW_Kiwi @WordPress @wp_acf Agree. Businesses require trust and stability. @wpengine and @wp_acf provide that atop the (former?) stability from @WordPress, which isn’t viable for business without a partner like @wpengine or @automattic, and @automattic has just proven they aren’t stable business partners.

@WordPress @wp_acf Due to recent events, I'm likely to never recommend WordPress for a project ever again. It's no longer a safe choice for a business. This kingdom is yours to burn down, good luck and have fun.

We have been made aware that the Advanced Custom Fields plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress dot org. A plugin under active development has never been unilaterally and forcibly taken away from its creator without consent in the 21 year history of WordPress.

@WordPress @wp_acf If you’re citing valid security concerns with such a popular and widely used plugin, wouldn’t that have come out in a public fashion, not a stealth and middle of the night literal takeover? This seriously damages community trust in WordPress.

@wp_acf This has happened several times before, and in line with the guidelines you agreed to by being in the directory: github.com/wordpress/wpor… Best of luck with your version. We're looking forward to making ours amazing for our users, using the best GPL code available.

Did @Sonos just commit product suicide? After 15+ years of VERY loyal patronage I’m about to take a hammer to the 9 Sonos units my house after this “update” that was supposed to enhance things and instead made the physical product not work and the App completely unusable. Why?!

@AnalyticsNinja You have to enter your passcode on the phone, which is harder with no screen working but not impossible (so long as touch works on the screen). If it’s the first time connecting that phone and computer you have to also hit the “trust device” button on initial connect.

@calebwhitmore Even without USB debugging?

I am trying to buy a new phone because I have a dead screen. The credit card company confirms via SMS. can't get the message. How do I view my screen via USB to PC if I can't enable USB debugging because I can't see my screen?

After much searching, I finally figured out how to restore supervised status to my teen's Google account. You have to go to families.google.com/supervision/in… under the Teen's logged in Google account, and then follow the steps. Then, the parent account gets an email for the same process.

Once a child turns 13 in the US, they can turn off "supervised" status on their Google Account, and do so without parental approval. Restoring this should be extremely easy, yet it is obfuscated and convoluted. Why?

Why does @Google make it so hard for parents to add supervision to their teen's Google account? The notion that I am legally responsible for my children until they are 18, yet a 13 year old is inherently capable of unfettered access to and use of Google's services is bizarre.

@txsalth2o Have been here several times with my teens in various cases. It’s a learning process and agree, better now than when they are older and launched. Best case: that “friend” on Fitbit? Not a friend actually. And extra scary since they saw morning run routes!

Yesterday I did a random spot check on my teenager’s phone. Scrolled through her texts….I am so glad I did. We have all the parental controls on my daughter’s device. We use a 3rd party app to control access to games time spent on the device. 1/

@msaskin @shawngorham Having grown up on and lived the west coast (WA state) but moved to Raleigh in recent years, I can 100% say it is better. You can buy the farm with a lake, and be within an hour of that airport and beach, and do it with so much less cash than what you’d need out west.

@shawngorham The right coast

I have a problem... See I got my high school girlfriend (now wife of 24 yrs) pregnant at 18 That decision kept us in the same city we grew up in all our life (we needed help from the grandparents) Then we had more kids, they started school, I had a local business and well... we are still here 45 years later But ya see - my wife always wanted to leave. She never wanted to stay. She almost got me to move to Bend Oregon in 2005 Her personality is slower pace, open spaces, nature. She is a fish out of water in our current city If she had it her way she would be on 10-20 acre farm 30-45 minutes outside of a big enough city living in a single story white farmhouse Right now our kids are in college (not established) I DO NOT have a local business We are in a good position to make a move Im my mind we have a small window. As soon as the kids settle down and grandkids come my wife will want to move to where the kids are But right now for maybe a 5-7 year window we are free to make decisions for the first time that dont impact our kids Should we do it? Where? My criteria - has to be close enough to a large enough city to do business. I need sunshine AND some kind of water. Prefer NOT another far left leaning state like CA. A decent size airport for direct flights (rules out Bend OR) Not crazy hot and not crazy cold (dont sent me to TX) In the west preferred. My gut says roads lead to Boise ID - but I dont want to spend millions on a couple year experiment

@LatePoint That appears to have been the issue. We'll get the plugins updated. We couldn't update them previously because the core version was too old to update to new plugins, and updating to the new plugin broke everything with the plugins installed.

@calebwhitmore Hmm, what exactly is broken? If you updated the plugin to a latest version from the old one you had before - make sure you follow this: wpdocs.latepoint.com/data-missing-a…

Hey @LatePoint, I just upgraded a CodeCanyon license purchased in 2020 to the new Pro license and everything is broken. Support site won't let me submit a ticket because "support is expired." Entire site is broken, and no way to contact you after upgrading? Not a good welcome...

Our friends just learned their 8 year old has Leukemia. Join us in supporting his fight. instagram.com/stories/charbw…

Did I miss a memo about today? Seems like it is “incompetent customer support day.” Literally every interaction with a customer service agent today has been painful. Not reading the question. Unable to properly spell even the wrong answer. Multiple tickets to clarify. Ugh…

Fuerhermore, Once I leave the country it will cost me $0.25 per minute to listen to their mediocre hold music.

Anyone know how to reach @FlyAirNZ? 8 hours on hold and no answer. I booked 6 tickets in April for a flight in late January. They’ve moved the flight by two days and I’ve had to buy new much more expensive flights on a different airline to keep the rest of our trip on track.

I spent 4 hours on hold today, 3 on Thursday, and 3 a couple weeks ago. I did get through back in early December and they said the 2 day flight change would have no compensation. Crazy. I’d have to pay 2 nights hotel for 6 people or buy new flights.

The world makes sense again! @Delta has returned the little pillows and blankets!
