Mine did an update, then when it restarted, everything had "disappeared" but the hard drive wasn't empty. I switched it off and left it for a couple of weeks and started it up. Everything is back. I too detest all this technology of having to keep confirming I am who I am by getting all these one time passcodes!
I agree with him. If I wasn’t a writer in the storm of two genocides I’d probably say F the computer and just check out now. No computer, email or smart phone.
I love his posts.. I really mean that Jon is awesome. but I haven't seen his yet, sure it went to Junk mail and I didn't feel like sifting through it and I am a paid subscriber. Been a long week..
Wow. That is awful about your Mac crashing and I do agree that the timing is very suspicious. I hate technology too and cannot imagine how you spent so many years as a programmer. I would have been bat shit crazy!!
Can't always read what comes my way either. We're getting spread pretty thin trying to keep up
with all the great citizen journalists. I honestly don't know how guys like Donald Jeffries keeps up with all his mail, write books, and do all the shows he's on. He's idk. superhuman or something?
Then there's the plague of the died suddenlies and unexpectedly. It seems at night the shadow of the
unvaxxed rises and strikes down the vaxxinated. I wake up every morning exhausted and feeling guilty
for unknow reasons. As if we didn't already have enough to deal with.
I'm getting your notifications and reading your posts. However my substack issue has been acting glitchy when I try to comment on anything substack. And also add me to the list of those that cannot stand modern technology!!!
They may have to go back and re train their computer. Is very frustrating.. HANG IN THERE. I actually stopped working on a math problem (yes I like Math) because I felt like wow. I am getting anxious.. so I am going to go turn on my CD Player..or something; Computers and all their issues: and like John says: PRINTERS are the bane of computing (Remember the movie Office Space, which I still watch every YEAR, where is my RED STAPLER?) take care.
It's a major bummer, especially when a Mac crashes, since they are not as crashy as Kill Gates' brands of computers. Still, I have recently experienced some crap-tastic tech problems, such as my MacBook Pro suddenly not launching my favorite photo-editing app, despite the computer being just a couple of years old. Also I have been typing comments in Substack and watched words disappearing as I type, or entire chunks of words moving themselves to other parts of the comment window.😳☹️😡 It's super-creepy and I suspect that the much-vaunted A.I. bits and bots and baubles are infiltrating even the most innocuous corners of the internet and technology devices in general.🤖👿☠️🤡 Anything artificial is not, pretty much by definition, intelligent. Wishing you good luck with your computers and your processes, as we need your voice in the [hopefully] growing choir.
I am hearing more and more stories such as yours. Makes me lose faith in Substack. Similar stories about Stripe makes me wary of that platform, too. I know I'm not alone. How far do the NWO tentacles reach? Any other platforms we can try, I wonder?
all this technology is overwhelming --- been telling my wife for many years that I'd like to go back to 1982.... you know the days of Spicolli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Trans Am's and all that (sadly that actor that played Spicolli sure turned out to be a helluva douche and a communist facist pig). everybody got a long just fine back then. maybe just have a phone in the vehicle in case of a breakdown or emergency.
my laptop recently pulled a fast one as well.... in what i thought was just one of those routine software updates the damn thing snuck the windows 11 in on me that did my best to avoid. i started to try to work with it but to get the email back up and running they said I had to let the microsoft upload all my emails to the cloud, whatever the fuck that is. so i had to spend a lot of time resetting the damn thing back to windows ten.
the other thing that irks me is whatever new product or service you obtain, they make you cough up google and gmail login info to even get it working.... surely, all to collect and hack into your personal data
I'm still hackled from when Winsows 10 forced its way onto my puter. The Edge browser sucks donkey dicks, and yes, Fast Times at Ridgemont High was the good old days. "All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz and I'm fine."
Ive been thinking about buying a new computer, and was contemplating getting an Apple, but with Mike's recent experience, maybe I should consider a Linex, Mint, or Manjaro.
Well: That is a serious issue: depending on the "algorithm" so called that so called "HELPING" one out by putting almost all my Substack email from EVERYONE.. except yours and Jon Rappoport's into my JUNK BIN, I think because I emailed you at your email address Microsoft which has been updating patches (so called) I do get your email: keep in mind training a computer's AI is like sort of teaching it so called "adaptive learning" or wtf they like call it; but in order for to sign I it did go to my inbox. Keep in mind you were off line for a long time. and I hate MACS.. yeah. never liked them; I have friends who swear by them I get it. I sure hope to God that back up your files..I don't go into the battles I have had lately w/ Photobucket which for sure "harvests" photos from Fakebook. nuff said there. You know my son is a software developer and is experiencing frustration but he gets paid a lot of money and hired a great team that he can trust who had to pass tests that HE DESIGNED .. forget about DIE etc. but he did go to UVA for six years (E school of engineering) so I hear you. I really feel for you. I am still on my back up laptop and have started backing up content for the so called NEXT PATCH ..
That is cheap laptop.. no offense.. GET YOUR MAC FIXED.. best .. take care. Isabell
Timing is everything. I wrote an article, anti war and soon after, my mac went down, won't fire up. Not an old mac, no signs of issues before I wrote the article. Another spicy article last year resulted in my cell phone deciding to turn itself on, lock me out, and effectively die because i can not unlock it. Telephone company was no help, said I must have done it myself... duh... not a chance I locked myself out of my phone. There is a link between what wii write on here and the powers that review it for publication and let it out into the world. Someone does not like the conservative views I and others have expressed. Big names in writing and I am not getting their posts as regular as I was before the newest round of censorship.
They now have us all on the hamster wheel. Sorry about your MAC…same moniker as MAC addresses found in the graveyard 😂

Glad i made the 29% cut 🙂
Thanks Sue
Hang in there, Mike. We will survive in spite of Big Tech!
Got a notice you had posted, and smiled reading you "hate technology." So do I. Thought Jon Rappoport had a good substack piece today: https://jonrappoport.substack.com/p/kill-the-robots?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=806546&post_id=141922092&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=rcip&utm_medium=email

I am bat shit crazy.
Reality should punish these mother fers!
lol.
We al are...
I didn't receive anything for a few weeks.

I did take almost a month off. Several subscribers have said they have problems receiving / viewing my posts.

Bummer. Hang in there. You have good stuff!

I’m hearing it too.

I quit using a computer about 10 years ago
receiving the email notices on my end.

yep, both my father and I both recently agreed, it's been pretty much downhill around here ever since those days.
and come to think of it, I was not happy when windows ten popped up but that 11 seems even way worse

Go Commodore 64.
Yeah right, or maybe an Osborne 1.
good luck to you as well♥️
