There is one potential way it may be getting used which would probably be legal. Years ago, before smart phones became ubiquitous, I worked for a company that had a contract to provide kiosks containing travel planning software to bus and r

You can turn that behaviour off though [0]. I would agree that it should be off by default instead of on by default - but they don't completely ignore the setting if you don't want them to. [0] https://support.microsoft

I think a large majority of the "non technical" population would have no clue how to sideload apps, or even that it was possible, and that the more likely result of WhatsApp being withdrawn from the UK would be massive screaming f

It's not something I ever do, but I imagine the answer to your question is that you can easily search for a particular tab when they are all in one window, but it would become a big chore if you had to switch between multiple windows a

Just a heads up. I could be wrong, but I believe you meant to say "encourage kids" instead of "enrage kids" lol. I was a bit confused until I worked it out.

Quite a lot of folk etymology tries to, incorrectly, assign nautical origins to common words and phrases. I used to read a column by an etymologist that jokingly referred to this using the term CANOE - the Committee to Assign a Nautical Ori

Signal said they may have to pull out of the UK if the bill is enacted as well. This would be a major setback for communications here. We'd basically have to go back to SMS/MMS and email as far as I can tell. I don't know thi
