I was only able to get my Android friends to convert. Now they aren't using it either. Truly a shame.

Basically a privacy policy change that wove them tighter into facebooks's ecosystem and made it clear that Facebook would in no uncertain terms be collecting WhatsApp user data.

Cruisin USA baby!

But seriously, nothing compared to Forza 4 for me. The detail of the cars, the Top Gear commentary, and it was my first game I got with my Xbox 360. Just amazing.

Honorable mention for POD Planet of Death on Windows 95. Its super old but at the time it looked amazing and has a super cool aesthetic and rad soundtrack.

I was devastated when Android Signal removed SMS support. Since then I'm down to just 3 people that I still use signal with.

Its been a shame to see the direction its gone since the huge influx after the last WhatsApp controversy.

Second this, but don't go for the dell minis. I have had trouble with them no recognizing 3rd party power supplies that are often shipped with refurb units.

I've had good luck with the lenovo tiny PCs.

Thank you yes. That was sort of my question. I didn't know if any data is pushed to any other instances as a redundancy or a backup. I only used beehaw as an example since its fresh in everyone's mind.

Sounds a lot like a parallel to the decline of smaller downs in the western US along Route 66 when the interstate highway system bypassed them in the name of faster travel. Very cool to see that concept out in space.
