Facts of Life:

The only thing that was decent was Anne Dowd as Mrs. Garrett. I cannot
believe Jon Stewart showed up with a beard. The rest of the actors seriously
looked out of their place with their age showing. As i remember the issue
with Carl wasn't his gear but he had severe acne. Who played Dink? I feel bad
for the originals and the original script. This was so cringe.

Different Strokes:

So nice to see Todd Bridges and I'm shocked that he is the only one left from
the cast. Again, Anne Dowd and Mrs. Garrett and John Lithgow as Mr. Drummond
- great casting. Everyone else is FUCKING OLD. Seeing Kevin Hart on John's
lap was just awkward. Again very cringe.

The only redeeming thing had to be the fake commercials.

Jennifer Beals and the shoulders Jack in the Box.

Jennifer and Alfonso Ribeiro in the ketchup commercial.

Alfonso Ribeiro with the Kraft single commercial.

The Aviation Gin commercial

Big drives are really cheap. anim could probably get everything
downloaded in time if he started now.

There’s no way to do it without a computer. The cloud Drive isn’t hooked up
to anything but the plasma. Western digital is end of lining their older
cloud drives and want you to buy a new one and transfer the data. But the
only way to do it would be with a computer over Wi-Fi.

Multiple terabyte SSD drives are getting pretty cheap, maybe buy some

There’s no way to do it. Not without a computer. And even then only
wirelessly which is how I got all the data to it in the first place. But
not all at once, over a period of years.

I'm not sure things are as dire as you think. It looks like you can
download the My Cloud mobile app (available for iOS and Android) and
then connect your phone to the My Cloud device on the same network.
Then if you have USB drive (readily available in whatever capacity you
want) connected to the My Cloud device you can move your files from
the WD device to the USB. It was all described here in this review:
https://www.cnet.com/reviews/wd-my-cloud-review/

That said it looks like the device will continue working after April
15, 2022. It's just that it will only be available locally. So if you
get a working computer and put it on the same network as your My Cloud
device you should be able to access the device for years to come.
That's only an issue if your device can't be upgraded to the OS5
firmware. If it can be upgraded then all you need to do is figure out
how you are going to do that.

That's what they said here:

https://community.wd.com/t/support-for-my-cloud-changing/271763 294

Per an email:

Support for your My Cloud device is changing

Western Digital continuously evaluates and improves our hardware,
software, and services as security standards evolve. As a result,
we've determined that it's necessary to end support for prior
generations of My Cloud OS, including My Cloud OS 3. You should act
now to protect your content.

On April 15, 2022, support for prior generations of My Cloud OS,
including My Cloud OS 3, will end. Your device isn’t compatible with
critical security updates that are only available for My Cloud OS
5-compatible devices. As a result, you'll only be able to access it
locally. After April 15, 2022, your device will no longer receive
remote access, security updates, or technical support. To help protect
your content, we recommend that you back up your device, disconnect it
from the Internet, and protect it with a strong, unique password.

I didn’t even know they made a mobile app. They didn’t last time I looked
but that was a long time ago.

I kind of doubt I can find my login information anywhere though.

Depending on how old it is, they've got chips in them.

I was going to replace it with one of those smart dishwashers. Think how
horribly wrong that would go!

(Ha ha)

Almost all my major appliances date from 1987. And they’re all acting like
it.

I wouldn't mind a dishwasher that I could load then remotely start away
from home. Or at least program it to start at night while I sleep. On
the other hand I recently bought a new washing machine and I
specifically got a smart one with a phone app. Except now the app
doesn't work which means all the app only functions the machine has
won't work.

Ack

I was looking at the whirlpool smart dishwasher but other than starting it
from a distance like you’re talking about I couldn’t figure out what you do
with the app except that it would tell you when you needed to buy soap. But
the way it figured out when you need to buy soap was you told it when you
bought soap and it just guessed when you were going to run out. I think you
could just do that with an app without having electronics in the dishwasher
for it! I don’t think I’ve ever actually run out of dishwasher soap
anyway.

Now if it had a camera in there so you could watch your dishes being washed
or something really dumb like that I might have gone for it.
