Switching to yahoo mail classic

AI Thread Summary
Switching back to Yahoo Mail Classic is no longer possible, as Yahoo has phased out older versions of its email service. Attempts to revert to the classic interface, such as disabling JavaScript or using specific links, have proven ineffective. Yahoo's support indicates that the current design is intended to be the most user-friendly version, and older versions will only be available for a limited time before requiring an upgrade. Users are encouraged to adapt to the new interface, as there are no options to revert once upgraded.

Before logging-in to see what is at the logged-in end, would you tell us what that page is, and how you found it? I am interested but I do not want to log in without knowing what is on the other side. I too have one account which I may want to switch back in Yahoo Mail version. Yahoo has made switching back to Classic Mail apparently impossible, except for something which you may have found (the above quoted login page, maybe?).

It's just the direct link I get on the page that asks me to upgrade my Yahoo! Mail (actually it's http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/switchclassic but it just redirects)

They are making it impossible to switch back because they will eventually phase it out:

Can I switch to the previous design of Yahoo! Mail?

Resolution

Unfortunately, it is not possible to switch to the previous design of Yahoo! Mail. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve our products, and the design you see today is our cleanest, most intuitive version to date.

What if I don’t want to upgrade to the newest version of Yahoo! Mail?

Older versions of Yahoo! Mail will only be available for a limited amount of time, so eventually, you will need to upgrade. Once you have upgraded to the new Yahoo! Mail, it is not possible to switch back.
 
This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
