The rate of perceivable changes has decreased over recent years while the price of flagships has increased substantially. I have a Galaxy S7 and it still works perfectly well for everything I need. The only issue with it is that I know Sams

I use Trello boards for various aspects of my life (personal, tech, etc), each with five lists: * Ideas - stuff that I might want to do in the future(lots of random items on here). * To-Do - things that I actually want to do soon. * In prog

Can you stream to an Echo Dot from any/many music apps on your phone like the Chromecast? Or do you have to control everything by voice?

First time I've actually clicked through to look at their laptops properly. An absolute dealbreaker for me is the tiny shift key on the right-hand side of the keyboard. My company-supplied laptop has this and everybody I speak to hates

My only feedback is to commend the author on including a "Similar projects" section in the README file. I love when authors are not afraid to compare their projects to other similar pieces of work.

It's no good having good UI and UX if your WordPress site doesn't have a good caching plugin installed...

I agree. I'm happier with native resolution screens that don't require scaling.

The whole post is weird. Not sure what point he's trying to make apart from spreading some FUD about Github/Microsoft/Azure.

Glad to see Bitwarden up on top. They tick all the boxes for me - open source, transparent security (including recently published audit), feature-rich, optional self-hosted, and easy to use.

Agree - switching to Bitwarden was super easy.

I'm a fan of Insight Timer ( https://insighttimer.com/ ). It has tons of free guided meditations as well as meditation courses that you can pay for. I tried both Calm and Headspace and I just didn't like the feel

Yeah, I use Office 365 extensively and have used Google Apps extensively in the past. Office 365 is definitely more suited to corporate-type work and I personally prefer Office 365, but I just feel like the Google Apps interface and feature

Ah - interesting. I'm curious to know how well the core apps stack up from the kids' perspectives. I watch my kids collaborating on slide decks with other kids and am amazed at what they come up with. My understanding is that the

Apart from the stupid clickbait title, this is an interesting article. Not sure what it's like in other countries but here in NZ Chromebooks have become the de-facto education laptop/platform. But the underlying OS is almost the u

Since the last major Firefox update, I haven't needed to run an adblocker. I set Firefox to block trackers always (not just in private mode) and I hardly ever see ads, or I don't notice them at least.

Interesting - 120sqft is just over 11sqm which, in NZ, is smaller than the minimum recommended size for a double bedroom. But perhaps a better comparison is with a small to medium sized caravan which can be be pretty comfortable at around t
