A little early for New Year's Resolution, but I'm inclined to do a
couple things differently shortly to de-hoard.
One thing is to "cut the cord" with Internet Cable service, so will be
going in the direction of antenna TV and Android smart phone for
connection with an ad-free streaming TV service.
My CaptionCall telephone--a clever device that allows me to just read
phone calls and recorded messages--does require Internet to be
readable, but I can even look into finding a way to cover that as both
my smart phone and TV are Android. Not sure about schooling-up on
such networks as BlueTooth, etc., but am inclined NOT to be spending
for more add-on toys at Amazon.
Am liking my FREE MailWasher aps, and may cough up the $30 to get the
pro version "washing" all my email services.
The computer battles are not to my liking, so it looks like I'll be
going to Linux Ubuntu 2.04 on a partition. One look at Windows-11
tells me that it's even more proprietary and restricting than the W-10
I have. Maybe I'll consider a radical (for me) OS like Android.
Several alternative browsers out there beside Edge, Chromium, and
Firefox.
So I'm resolving to "cut the TV cable cord," cut out the ads on TV,
email, limiting telephone calls, and going independent on computer OS.
I already have collections of DVD, CD, books in my Kindle library,
plus would like to exercise more. All benefit mind, body, and spirit?
After all, what did people do before computers, TV streaming, and
political action groups??
