Not just Facebook. There are many apps that are overstepping in terms of permissions. I turned off auto-update long ago and removed many offenders, but it seems every app these days is now requesting as many privileges as they can get away

Two sides of the same coin; talking and understanding go hand in hand. You don't have to participate in it, you don't even have to _get_ it, but being informed is what we're getting at here. And of course there are more reaso

Any reason the number of alerts are capped at 3, as opposed to say 5 or 10? Are paid accounts with unlimited alerts in the works?

Trusted Traveler is what you could call the list that Pre-Check vets you against, so Pre-Check is really just Trusted Traveler. Yes, Global Entry is only for returning to the US (you couldn't imagine it would be more, it is a US-run pr

It's actually a better move to enroll in Global Entry [ http://www.globalentry.gov/ ] which gets you expedited entry at border crossings, includes you in the Trusted Traveler program (which is what Pre-Check is), and onl

Notice how it doesn't explicitly say that it's an OTA update to cover TVs currently in use. It also doesn't say if it will happen automatically in the background or if the user will be prompted to update (or not). Given how c

Better security because Intuit is a larger company? No one is invincible, see Adobe's latest incident. My major complaint with Mint is I don't get email alerts until I log into my account. Nothing gets sent to me when the event tr

So real question: I've changed mine a while back and removed all the vowels - not machine readable but still human recognizable. At one point they did have my actual name and I imagine they still do. What is to say they don't tune

It's not a hack, margin: 0 auto is how you tell a non-table element to center itself. Sure, there's some oddities to CSS, but if you understand the box model it's not that foreign.

The first time I locked down a server I found iptables to be a little intimidating. If you're on Ubuntu then ufw is extremely easy to use - it's just a front end for iptables. https://help.ubuntu.com/community&#x2F
