Personally I have never liked the idea of the cloud being my storage so I delete all those messages telling me my space is used up. I thought the idea of the cloud was that there was unlimited storage.
Like others have said, I back up my pictures on a flash drive or small memory card for my kids to find when I'm gone, but not for a long time from now .


I had the same thought Joel that the cloud was nearly unlimited. Thus the scratching of the head on that email.

Can't trust anything these days, unless it's the original SPAM washed down with a beverage from the state where 2 oz Coca-Cola's are served, (Mini-Soda).

Yea Chuck, I sent it to Spam too. I don't know how this cloud thing works and very little is saved on the computer. Flash drives get all my important stuff.


No dark clouds for you, Plum!

Don't click on anything you didn't initiate on your phone, SPAM it's only good when you're Frying in a pan and cracking some eggs 😀

What I don't like is calling Social security or United healthcare that's a United States entity and having to talk with people in India and you hear their kids and wives in the kitchen cooking, pots and pans clanging and neither one understand what the other is saying 🤪

Think about this Pb. Even here in the states we make calls to various businesses insurance, magazine orders, repair people etc etc and you are getting people that work from home that have all your personal info sprawled out on their home desk. You know darn well it can be left on the desk or on the computer screen while they go answer the door and just happens to be a nosy neighbor. In Pennsylvania they want your SS # to get a fishing licenses. That is a head scratcher for sure.

Yea, these folks that work from home just don't give me a good vibes.

Welcome to “the global economy”. It’s all about the bottom line. Cheaper to send American 🇺🇸 company based jobs off-shore rather than hire American workers. There are little or no labor, environmental or quality control oversights in place. They can flip the switch on our supply chain & hold us hostage.

It does suck when there’s a communication issue regarding your important health, medical & financial situations.

Call me a skeptic, but, when we do get through & the conversation seems clear - it’s probably an AI robot that has been programmed to steer you to a more expensive option that is beneficial to their bottom line.

Thus when I am forced to use the global economy system I use the Chat section to communicate. At least they have kept that in English. So far.

I get those occassionally even though I post nothing to cloud. I assume any message/email with an attachment or link that I do not specifically request is a phishing scam.
