1. BBB Scam Alert: Double check that QR code before you pay for parking By Better Business Bureau. July 26, 2024.

Short:
Pay for parking directly through the meter. Instead of scanning QR codes to pay for parking, use your credit card to pay directly using the machine or meter.

I never scan QR codes.

2. I likewise never scan QR codes.

Perhaps that's why I never get things like spam on my phone.

I use my phone to make calls and to text. That's it. Everything else on-line I do on this computer.

3. Computer doesn't fit on the easy chair. DANG!

Everything on the computer is 1000X easier, faster, more efficient ...

4. Laptop fits on my lap on my easy chair.

5. It's complicated. A laptop never figured into my needs since way back when, spare you the details.

I do my best with the desktop and big old monitor.

ESPECIALLY for my photo work.

6. Gotcha. I don't do anything that

actually requires the big monitor, lucky me.
