I finally upgraded my iPhone. Mainly so Mr. Junior High could have my old one. He is on Cloud Nine! He’s off his screens much more as he can text to find someone to hang out with. (We have a pool and it’s been 100 degrees so he finds someone every day). But it is a big learning curve for me!
It took 2 hours at the Verizon store to transfer everything from my old phone to my new phone. Then to delete all of my stuff from the old phone and reset to factory programs. And I’m still asking Max (ChatGPT) questions on how to turn off all unnecessary noises, I just want phone calls and text messages. Today I learned how to jazz up my “signature” on iPhone email by adding color and emojis. It’s the little things in life! I’ve probably invested five hours this week just on the iPhone.
Since I no longer read books, I like to stream TV series but I hate paying monthly charges. When ever I see introductory offers, one week free or three months just $3 per month I snap those up. During my searching I’ve found a few sites to share with my penny pincher friends.
Have you hear of Tubi? They launched in 2014 and were bought by Fox in 2020. FREE. Lots of choices (that interest me). Many are oldies but goodies (from when I was in high school!) Many more are current (five seasons of The Equalizer … Queen Latifah as single ex CIA agent raising her teenage daughter and helps people who have nowhere else to go to get crime answers). I’ve had excellent luck streaming from them.
And then there is https://archive.org/. It is a humungous nonprofit collection of TV, movies, music, software and more. My Public Broadcasting station talked about it when the Orange You Know What started removing websites on his whim. Internet Archive started reaching out and grabbing anything and everything to preserve them. Their site says they have 946 BILLION websites on their site. They have Russian audio books, 5 million radio shows, and the National Security Internet Archive and imagine wandering down just that section!
Also, take a peek at the WLLO Village website under "activities, resources"
