There is no end of life date for IE11 next year. Internet Explorer is supported for as long as the OS is, and as such, will see support until at least 2029 on Windows Server 2019. It wouldn't surprise me if the next version of Windows

If you think your country is heading in the wrong direction, moving to a country you think is doing well seems logical to me.

I'm glad there's an exception like that. It will mean that things like a form to contact support won't require an app to list a whole bunch of data that isn't normally collected. I think perhaps that there needs to be so

Your complaints are down to the nature of the "one size fits all" approach in use here. If an app offers 99% online experiences, and there's one part of the service where you can choose to have something physically shipped to

Accessibility - I am surprised nobody mentioned it. We looked at hCaptcha, and the feedback we got was that their approach to accessibility is simply unacceptable. If you can't solve the challenges, you have to sign up on their website

As a Vegan, that can be a concern. The best way for companies to alleviate that concern is to make your Vegan products clearly different from the meat ones. McDonalds offers "Veggie Dippers" in the UK, and as they have a vegetable

The complaint of many is that Grubhub gets its own number listed on many services such as Google Maps, so that you are tricked into thinking that their number is the restaurant.

I'm not sure I get your point. If you think TLS is adequate to stop a VPN provider figuring out what you're doing, why isn't it good enough to stop the ISP/Government/evil coffee chain IT team?

The CDN is not the place you have to worried about. If Site A loads a specific JavaScript file for users with an administrator account, Site B can check to see if the JavaScript file is in your cache, and infer that you must have an adminis

Fraud is still possible with debit cards. Chargebacks are also still possible. Disputing them is expensive.

Most of these new products that you see advertised are not aimed at Vegetarians or Vegans, but are actually aimed at meat eaters. Tesco has a range of meat products (such as burgers and mince) that are actually a mixture of real meat and pl

A lot of the "modern" meat/dairy alternatives intentionally don't contain soy, as soy has gained (unfairly in my opinion) a poor reputation. It's a selling point to be soy free.

I posted something similar a few months back[1] - since then, I have ditched Dropbox. I felt like they really weren't interested in me as a consumer. I have switched to OneDrive. I already had a subscription to Office 365 (Home), so I&

My understanding is that there are balance concerns - if you're on a standalone device (i.e. Quest) that can't render complex smoke effects, you can see more easily than someone with a high-end PC that can.

While Apple originally said that, they have also said that they feel Epic's violation of the rules warrants a one year suspension of their account: https://www.theguardian.com/games/2020/sep/09/fortn

Your stance seems nonsensical to me, given the fact that Epic was clearly able to sneak something that violates the rules past Apple's review process. It's clearly not possible for Apple to actually check all functionality of ever

Epic needs access to Apple's developer tools and documentation to continue developing the Unreal Engine software and libraries for macOS and iOS. Without access to those things, it would be difficult for Epic to produce new versions of

Most of the major VR headset companies (Oculus, HTC, Sony) do not advise that children under 13 use VR. You have to be 13 to sign up for a Facebook account - although I'm not sure if you meant "not allowed" in the sense that

UserVoice is basically just a platform that companies (like Oculus) can use to manage customer requests. If Oculus didn't want UserVoice, they wouldn't have signed up for it.

I use Dropbox as a consumer only. I pay for the Dropbox Plus plan, and that does everything I want - albeit at a higher price than I'd like, but it always seems like their marketing is so heavily geared towards business use. Every time

How is a web browser app asking for OS permissions different to any other app? Through the Android permissions system, I can block Firefox accessing my camera or microphone. I do sometimes want Firefox to have access to those things, so I t

I don't see what the advantage would be. Apple Pay/Google Pay already offers near-instantaneous, highly-secure transactions in most stores - and with good consumer protection. Contactless cards offer the same up to £45. I can get

You can still do a chargeback with a debit card in the UK. If you have a basic consumer dispute about something (such as a retailer not giving a repair/refund for a faulty item), you should be able to file a chargeback with the card is

I can't really see bank transfers taking of at the point of sale in the UK. Making a payment with most banking apps is very clunky - especially for the first time with 2FA. As a consumer, a credit or debit card gives me a lot of protec

I'm with Virgin Media (and have been for 20 years) because they offer the best speeds in most parts of the country. AA or Zen simply can't compete when they are offering FTTC or ADSL. I don't care at all about customer servic

Passphrases are easy for people to remember, but if you have a password manager, you're better off getting it to generate a 50+ character random password (including uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols). That should meet pretty mu

What is the risk exactly? Even if the site knew for certain that you had used one of the passwords, they would have no idea where you used the password, and they wouldn't know your username or other credentials. They might not even hav
