XD was a tactical response to Sketch and Figma's encroachment of Photoshop as an UI/UX tool. Whilst XD is now a better target for a like-for-like comparison, from a historical perspective, Adobe is on the back-foot trying to re-ca

Same concern. I switched last year from Chrome back to Firefox after a few too many anti-consumer moves by Google and really hoping Firefox remains a viable alternative. They're already lagging in a few places and that gap will only gr

Some of Australia's visa's require that the applicant spend a few months working on a farm, usually fruit-picking. These workers are still entitled to the same minimum wages (as far as I know) and other protections, in theory. (Au

I can't imagine Microsoft is anymore interested in paying these fees than Google or Facebook is. I think it's an empty threat, and likely its the Government trying to prove their serious (although, I suspect it won't pass its

I'd imagine the internet just has to be good enough to have video calls and transfer the occasional large file for 90% of people. I think life on a Caribbean island would be enough reason to ditch our usual high bandwidth vices like ga
