If Talk Talk comes with a cheap USB ADSL modem (which appears to be what they recommend) then that's how it works, and he has set up properly. If he wants to avoid "connecting", the best thing to do is invest in a [wireless] router, which has the added bonus of allowing multiple computers to share the same connection.

why do people make .docx files?! they are awful and a pain in my non-vista ass.
― te,he (tehresa), Monday, 31 August 2009 23:23 (fourteen years ago) link
It's the new default for MS Office from what I can tell. I've been having to deal with .xlsx files too.

why would ms completely change the format though, it's like they don't even care about user-friendliness at all

You could try using OpenOffice to convert them. It's available for the Mac OS.
The new x formats are XML coded for lols - this is what the newest injunction/lawsuit against MS is about btw, them trying to appropriate and close another open protocol viz IE handling of html and Access's weird variant of sql.

How the fucking fuck do I get my gmail contacts onto my new iPhone? This is going to drive me batty. Googling kept turning up the same "solution" that doesn't work for shit.
GAH I hate technology. Except for ILX. Love you boo.

i have had a nightmare month with various laptop, desktop, hard drive and car radio issues,
Solved most of them by breaking the shit out of the item in question.
I mean, 'solved' tbf

My latest solution is to put an apple sticker on my Dell so that it will act like a Mac. Also to rub the iphone up against the Dell screen to help the gmail contacts get in there via direct contact.
― quincie, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 13:05 (twelve years ago) link
Would live an answer. All of my Gmail conacts are on my iPhone bc I previously had an Android, which syncs beautifully w Gmail, and when I got iPhone, they transferred. I think??
― Sandbox Jesse, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
But they're all out of date bc they don't sync :(
update: I have now shown the iphone who is BOSS

― Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 04:18 (twelve years ago) link
I had turned on iCloud for contacts and then followed the instructions for using Exchange to pull them from my google account, which did not work. So I went into itunes and tried to pull them that way, which did not work either, at least I turned *off* iCloud and then used itunes to import, then switched back to iCloud. Haven't yet tested whether or not the contacts will synch between iphone and google :(

Oh, thanks for your response, quincie. My bookmark for this thread got muffed up.
I thought I had a another boring question, but I think it's sorted. But I'll ask anyway: Malware Bytes: C/D? Is free good enough, or upgrade to Pro?
