I use Mullvad with OpenVPN on iOS with no issues at all. What issues have you experienced?

If Google’s ad business dries up, what do you think they will pivot to? It scares me to think about what a desperate company with that much data would do.

I usually travel with an extra pair of glasses. My preferred frames, including lenses, are $30 from Zenni. I’ve been using the same prescription for about 6 years, it may be about time to see an optometrist and get my eyes checked out...

I never knew that! From their "Integrating Toxicological Assessments in Material Selection for Apple Products" white paper: "Removal of BFRs and PVC were challenging since alternatives were not readily available at the time.

I don't see that option in the iOS Mail settings. Can you point me to it? Edit: here it is: https://www.fastmail.com/help/clients/iphone-aliases.html I'm going to give it a try now. Thanks!

You have to use the FastMail app if you want to send from an email alias. That's the only reason I have for not using the native iOS mail app. Please let me know if you have a workaround!

Just because there are larger problems doesn’t mean that they should ignore the smaller problems.

The Hulu Android TV app crashes several times a week for me, and about 25% of inputs are ignored. It used to work just fine, but then they redesigned in a few months ago and it went to shit. The interface got significantly worse as well, wh

That is not the case in the Maria fire. Take a look at the map to see how close the fire came to Santa Paula: https://vcoes.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=24d... In many of the fires we have here in th

Every few years I hear about Asterisk and think to myself that it would be neat to set up at home, but I never got around to trying it out. Is anyone running it at home? What is your setup like?

Thanks for the recommendation! I downloaded it on iOS and have been really enjoying it. The controls took a few minutes to get used to, but the included documentation was superb.

That’s a good idea! On iOS I configured the Accessibility Shortcut to enable Smart Invert when I triple-click the home button, and it looks like it will work perfectly!

Well, crap. I have been avoiding smart watches like the plague but this plus the ECG may put me over the edge. My family has a history of heart disease, I commute by bike every day, and I have a young child who I want to see grow up. One of
