Compaq Presario CQ45 I think. Bought on sale at bestbuy for $300. Everything prior to this one had been someone else's.

It's been a while (6-8months) since I DELETED my account, but I do remember separate options for delete vs deactivation. Out of curiosity I tried logging in again and received "email you have entered does not match any account". While I'm sure the account exists somewhere in the facebook database, it appears to have been successfully deleted.

Anyone else have similar results?

Haven't ever had a Facebook account, but I've encountered the deactivation-deletion dark pattern before, most recently on Twitch.

I think, it's a matter of them being required by law (won't be the case in all countries) to have true account deletion, but then they try to deflect as many users as possible from actually deleting their accounts by having an account deactivation option and having it in a far more prominent place.

I "deleted" my account in 2013. In 2015, I was working on something that required a Facebook account, and I figured I'd try logging in again to see if it was really gone or not. I got a response similar to yours -- seemed to really be gone.

I don't know how they can 'average' the american worker. Due to the obvious attempt to make this article seem relevant to as many readers as possible, I would have found it more interesting if it were a bit more specific.

Certain I'm the minority, but flat UI can be successful and very effective. With limited user paths and a design aesthetic that leans towards minimalism I have found that the user efficiently accomplishes the 'goals' assigned to them. However, if flat UI is treated as fashion often is (ignoring practicality, testing, and user metrics) then no doubt it will be unsuccessful. No research to refer you to, but I believe many major players in the industry adopted flat UI in an attempt to create a modern appealing look for their brand, and then went about optimizing the UI as they saw fit based upon user metrics and testing. As a designer I often continue to find myself influenced by pseudomorphic design and other formerly trendy design styles, but my goal is always to create something usable and unique rather than adhere to a current design trend. :D

Can I get a "Huzzah" here, now that's the spirit!

Quirky, but thumbs up!

Didn't crunch the numbers, but as I looked up his/her apps all I could see was $$$ signs.

Luckily they included an app in the list that will automatically mute Spotify ads so you don't have to pay for it! Good value there. /s

Agreed!

*face-palm

Exactly what I needed, thanks Katerina Sand
