WTF is going on with my phone's calendar? - Lemmy.World
I’m getting events added to my Galaxy phone’s calendar. One was supposed to be
an invitation to confirm my $400 order with McAfee, (this happened twice in the
last week, and another similar one for a Microsoft service that popped in while
I was looking at and deleting the first one. It literally appeared while I was
looking at it, and was scheduled for about 3 hours later tonight. I deleted it
immediately. Scam emails and text messages I can understand, but how in the hell
are they putting this shit in my phones calendar? They have a lot of text in
them and links that appear as phone numbers. Has anyone else experienced
anything like this? I’m worried I’ve got some kind of mal-ware on my phone…
Tried to watch The French Connection... 😠

Tried to watch The French Connection... 😠 - Lemmy.World
The news of the tragic death of Gene Hackman (RIP!) reminded me that even tho I
had always wanted to watch it, I had never seen the French Connection. I did a
web search to find out who was streaming it, and I noticed in the search results
that archive.org [http://archive.org] had it on their site. Just Watch said on
their site that Amazon Prime could stream it for free. My wife has a Prime
account, so I made a mental note and decided to go to Archive.org
[http://Archive.org] and watch it there since I’m sitting at my computer. It
loads up and starts playing, no problems, and then at about 10 minutes in, my
browser throws an error, and Voila! just like that the video is gone, suddenly
no longer available. I get immediately suspicious and log in to Prime, and no,
in fact, I cannot stream it for free, but I can rent it for $3.99. Nobody on
this planet can convince me that Amazon’s greed didn’t have something to do with
it getting yanked from Archive.org [http://Archive.org]… Assholes.
Recently got my Florida MMJ card... how long does it take to get out of the "kid in a candy store" phase?

I have been partoking for 45 years. I’m not used to having A choice, let alone
this many choices… I feel like I need to go to all of the places and try all of
the things! I’d love to hear from any fellow Floridians about their favorite
dispensaries etc…
