  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I hate Google!

Can you add apps to your phone? Like games, etc?

I have no clue, I did not even know you could play a game on a flip phone. How on earth can someone do that anyway?

I don't even know how to text let alone respond to one, or even how to download an app. I am not too tech savvy. But you are talking to someone who still does their dishes and laundry by hand and wishes there was a cord still attached to the home phone.

One concern you might want to have is that apps do get vetted by Google for malware. Downloading outside of the store may not have the same protection.

Does the Google store offer approved VPN"S also? I was curious whether they promoted ExpressVPN aquired by Kape Technologies seeing they are rumored to have previously been an adware and malware company.

They apparently own Cyberghost, Zenmate, and Private internet Acess along with ExpressVPN, I was just curious if the Google store offer those more exclusively, have you any idea about this?

Not a clue. I've never had a need to use a VPN other than work related. I've thought about it though for access to streaming content, but now with Tubi, I have plenty of stuff to keep me satisfied for free.

Anyone hear that you have to have a microsoft account to even be about to use a computer with this new windows 11? I had 4 work arounds to try obtaining just a local account on one but none worked so I sent the computer back. But I would love to have a spare laptop for windows 11 without the account so I have to hire a computer person to unbloat it and get around it somehow. I was trying to avoid the extra expense.

I still have a windows XP laptop, it works great but I keep it offline for other reasons, now you cannot even use the windows 11 laptop without the internet, without a work around (that works) and hasnt been patched before you get it into your hands. Thats so slimey.

I knew there was a reason i thought you were a woman in the beginning, lol. I know flip fones have text. I can't believe you do your laundry. Why don't you go to a laundromat. Oh that's right I've seen the signs. Is there any thing where you can type an address? I'll ask my friend, she had a flip phone. I have probably 50 game apps on my fone.

Haha, I do have a washer, it's a 20 year old relic but still works perfectly. And by the way I actually do my husbands things in there, men's jeans are difficut to hand wash. I just do my own clothes that way. I enjoy washing things by hand, it's relaxing to me, same with kneading dough, I find it therapuetic.

If I press the numbers the numbers and they show up on the lighted screen, but the letters are under the numbers and I don't have a clue as to what to do with it if I had to text, but I don't want to learn to do it. Too many folks look like zombies walking by each othe attached to their phones I don't want to be one of those, so I have an adversion to them.

50 games?! You must have a lot of time on your hands ^_^

Sorry to fireinfolding, for some reason i thought you were that pesky dog that posted that post. Sorry for the confusion. I talked to my friend and hers was 10 years old and not capable of downloading apps.

Sorry, my post was to the dog but nice to hear from you. I wash my clothes by hand because my 40 year old Kenmore broke but i broke it. Huge tub but a tech won't touch it. Says it's cheaper to buy a new one. They have no idea the wonderful washers they put out back then. I don't enjoy washing by hand and surprisingly it cost much more in water usage. My games are short and sweet, mostly different forms of jigsaws:)
