  @Cook_Estates @AOLSupportHelp At least I'm not the only one, was just on point of thumping laptop in frustration. 🙄 So will remain calm, now I know it's not problem at my end.

  @AOLSupportHelp Hi AOL, we are having terrible speed /connection problems and we have switched router on and off. How do we get this rectified,. My wife's trying to work from home and it's causing no end of problems. Cheers Phil

  @AOLSupportHelp I need help to access my email it’s saying the password or account isn’t correct but I can not access my recovery email address either. I’m being sent in a circle

  Can safely say that @AOL @aolmail @AOLSupportHelp have proved to have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. No way of contacting other than email, no acknowledgement that Mail account can’t be accessed, no way of resetting password. No help at all. Disgusting.

  @BekoUK I bought a Beko VCS5125AR Upright Vacuum Cleaner in Red from AOL 27/2/21 and in the past week it has cut out after using it for 10mins and did not restart for 20mins. Not happy. I would like it swapped for a hoover that works competently for the use it was bought for!

  Shocking service from @curryspcworld today - waited in for 6.5hrs for a dishwasher that never turned up. Two different stories from the driver, both of which were crap. Now ordered with @AOL who will hopefully do a better job on Tuesday 👍🏻

  AOL have deleted more than half of the saved emails in my inbox and now I’ve lost the email containing the serial codes for Eleanor Forte AI, Synth V Studio Pro and Natsuki Karin AI. I’ve managed to send an email to Anicute but AHS want a support number (was in a deleted email…)

  @AzzaliahC @ICQ Xfire and Skype both opened in 2003, June 2015 and May 2025 accordingly shut down. Where were you then? Or even Google Chat (2005- June 2017). If you cared about actual quality, you would have used AIM since at least 2010 (AOL literally bought ICQ in 1998, same owner!) or use IRC

  @GaryMarcus At best these are all the AOL s of actual AI. But these damn fools and the ones in DC and Wall Street will put us into a depression buying these magic beans.

  The Greatest Corporate Losses in History: The 25 Worst Single-Year Losses Ever Recorded Financial history is often taught through famous failures such as Enron, Lehman Brothers, WorldCom, or Bear Stearns. Yet many of the largest corporate losses ever recorded were far larger than those household-name disasters. In several cases, a single year's loss exceeded $100 billion when adjusted for inflation. The list of the worst annual losses reveals a striking pattern: nearly all occurred during either the dot-com and telecom collapse of 2000–2002 or the Global Financial Crisis of 2008–2009. While some losses reflected genuine economic destruction, many were massive write-downs of acquisitions made during periods of speculative excess. Below are the 25 largest annual corporate losses ever recorded, ranked by inflation-adjusted value. The Top 25 Largest Annual Corporate Losses of All Time 1. **AOL Time Warner (2002)** — Lost $98.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$143.1 billion** today. The failed AOL-Time Warner merger remains the largest annual corporate loss ever recorded. 2. **AIG (2008)** — Lost $99.3 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$127.6 billion** today, driven by the mortgage and derivatives meltdown. 3. **JDS Uniphase (2001)** — Lost $56.1 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$104.4 billion** today after the telecom bubble collapsed. 4. **Fannie Mae (2009)** — Lost $74.4 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$93.7 billion** today. 5. **Fannie Mae (2008)** — Lost $59.8 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$64.2 billion** today. 6. **Freddie Mac (2008)** — Lost $50.8 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$54.5 billion** today. 7. **Qwest Communications (2002)** — Lost $35.9 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$44.8 billion** today. 8. **General Motors (2007)** — Lost $38.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$41.6 billion** today. 9. **Royal Bank of Scotland (2008)** — Lost $34.9 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$37.5 billion** today. 10. **General Motors (1992)** — Lost $23.5 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$37.4 billion** today. 11. **General Motors (2008)** — Lost $30.9 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$33.2 billion** today. 12. **Deutsche Telekom (2002)** — Lost €24.6 billion nominally (~$24 billion USD at the time), equivalent to over **$30.0 billion** today following massive 3G spectrum write-downs. 13. **Vivendi Universal (2002)** — Lost €23.3 billion nominally (~$23 billion USD at the time), equivalent to over **$30.0 billion** today after its debt-fueled acquisition spree unraveled. 14. **Citigroup (2008)** — Lost $27.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$29.7 billion** today. 15. **Vodafone Group (2006)** — Lost $25.8 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$29.2 billion** today. 16. **Freddie Mac (2009)** — Lost $25.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$26.9 billion** today. 17. **Vodafone Group (2002)** — Lost $19.3 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$24.4 billion** today. 18. **United Airlines (2005)** — Lost $21.2 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$24.3 billion** today. 19. **Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) (2002)** — Lost over ¥2 trillion nominally, equivalent to over **$21.0 billion** today as Japan's telecom bubble burst. 20. **Nakheel (2009)** — Lost $20.9 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$21.8 billion** today amid Dubai's property collapse. 21. **UBS (2008)** — Lost $18.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$20.1 billion** today, marking the largest annual loss in Swiss corporate history at the time. 22. **Credit Suisse (2008)** — Lost over $18.5 billion nominally, equivalent to over **$20.0 billion** today, hit heavily by toxic mortgage-backed securities.

  @LauraLoomer I was there when the internet first became a public space Back when you got 3 AOL disks in the mail every week Everyone thought that with the internet giving access to the sum total of human knowledge to everyone, regardless of class or income or credentials, that the population would become more informed than ever before in human history What happened - Within ten years99% of the internet became disinformation, games, and **** I think that the internet has brought more bad than good

  @cultra I will take ICP over anything. Can build an entire site onchain. Bitcoin will be like AOL it will still hang around for years because you can't do anything with it.

  @ThrillaRilla369 I met an older woman 2 years ago that was still paying for AOL service.

  @GergelyOrosz @PythiaR Never thought that the ScaleAI transaction would work out as a reverse takeover. Echoes of AOL acquiring Time Warner.

  “I had to get on the AOL dial up to find out who this Bari Weiss is. Substack? What is that? My internet connection is too slow to load the images “

  @ThrillaRilla369 Anyone else remember the AOL discs where you got 50 hours on AOL dialup for free? You could connect with them and signup your fake account, then login with your real AOL account. Bonus, when AOL had "bring your own access," it only cost $5 per month.

  @ThrillaRilla369 I was a mainframe systems programmer, I did not 'surf the web' back in the day, terribly insecure (worse now). I used IBMLink my entire career. We used arapnet, other early networks to research data at Berkley, UCLA, JPL. Mainframes are secure, always have been. When PC's, the web for everyone, AOL came out, we laughed and stayed with secure connections. We had email on the mainframe, profs (under VM) for word processing, long before the public knew what those things were. There is no security out in this non-ethernet world now! Https means nothing. Data mining is to be expected and reading terms and conditions should have intelligent people running from certain apps. I have never had a FB presence, nor will I. I constantly ask anyone around me, family, churches, friends, who pressure me for one app or another, "did you read their terms and conditions?" I know, Thrilla, you wanted cute answers. I'm supplying truth. X is my only social media and my husband had to talk me into it. Now, I'm a posting, replying, liking, following fool! But I won't download any other.
