Their help page technically says you can use the same phone number on up to 10 accounts, but that hasn't been the case in 4–5 years or more. It's more like 2–4 accounts per number allowed in my experience, and there is a few week

it definitely should be possible at a router level, why should i be forced to configure each device individually? that said, obviously it should be possible to override on the device level, like it already is most of the time.

it seems to me like systems like these are the exception rather than the rule. you can always turn off nagle's algorithm if you have something really latency-sensitive, but it should not be off by default. 200 ms is not the end of the

the title is misleading, it makes it sound like tutanota had an age restriction and three blocked them because of that, but instead three put it behind an age gate.

the "use android" argument is getting really tiring. as someone who used to be an android user for years and still somewhat keeps up with the ecosystem, ios and most apps written for it (including major apps like twitter) are far

Google is a multi-billion dollar company, they barely have to lift a finger. They simply have to provide an option to opt out of 2FA. Add a bunch of warnings if you must. Even if Google was a small startup it would be trivial for them to do
