Am I too old? I only trust hard saving to offline storage. Be that an external hdd or a flash drive.
I'm in university (as an old) and just about everyone from faculty to staff has been pushing me to put everything in OneDrive. I know better, but young people tend to trust that an educational institution is looking out for them.
My freshman year I met teenagers who didn't know what a flash drive is. Most of them have iPads with no storage, one of my classmates was just uploading all her lectures directly to YouTube so she could review them later.
wait, are you saying that twenty-something is old? 😂
Where did you get twenty-something from? No, I consider people in their twenties to be young people.
that's usual age when people are at the university. your "as an old" might probably be worded more clearly if you meant something different.
You can go back to college at any age as long as you’ve got the money for classes.
i see you must be from the freedom country. in civilized world, you can do that without the money 😜 it is just that the wording wasn't very clear.
I see you must be from the Star Fleet academy where they no longer use currency for anything. There’s more to the cost of college classes than tuition.
yeah, no. that is literally it. once you pay the tuition (where applicable), you can visit the classes. you specifically used the phrase "money for classes", so don't try to bullshit your way around what you said. i know you need to eat and house yourself. these are not money for classes.
You have such nice ways of getting your points across to people. I'm sure you make friends super easy. Yeah, I'm aware I live in a shithole country. You don't have to be an elitist dick about it.
