"Hello?" with pictures

 Biggie person (a stranger) calls you and demands a document. 
You know how to send pictures (generally,)
 but how do you send to this stranger-caller?
Apparently, you must add them to your contacts, or write down their number and text them.
PITA, I swear.

Apparently live calls are for voice only, but then explain video calls...
Apparently an App is needed (But then explain MMS?? Also an app?)
Figure all this out while nervously speaking to the biggie stranger.

  • Take the picture while they wait impatiently...
  • Add them to "contacts" or just get the phone number (I think)
  • SMS using an app 
"send to caller" hasn't been invented yet.



Once there was a story entitled "Leda and the swan," and nobody is telling the story but they really want you to see the picture.
(I'll bet it's a beer ad from the forties)


Wikipedia says the middle-ages doted on Leda (or was it renaissance, IDK)
The one-sentence story was, Zeus liked to date women as a swan, but who was Leda 

And they couldn't point to helen and say what a prissy narcissist she was compared to her siblings, but yeah.
Prissy.

"the most beautiful woman on the planet"












Today's date is December 7th, pearl harbor day but I'm only mentioning it to mark this 3dmark result, after all the windows updates (from yesterday and today)




Short of some imaginary miraculous firmware or driver update, my card will always be mediocre at 13,000, but my CPU is stellar (for me).
I gotta figure, having 16 cores *after* disabling SMT is pretty damn good and negates any reason to get a later AM4 version.
1080P games and software seem destined for greatness here, and 4k/some newfangled CPU feature, unnecessary, but marketing will wear me down eventually.
But did x470 (My last motherboard) suffice? Is x670 (whatever) a waste?
8 cores vs my 16
Ble? I'm still on 2016-era stuff, I guess


 
ddr4 3600 here, whut?
OK thanks, bye
V-nand yada-blah, I thought you-all didn't like stacking memory, when it goes bad it eats 3x the memory. O...well.
I'm not shopping, I was just wondering what their 3dmarks were (Yes, I could prolly go *look*, but why?)
