Thanks that is exactly my point, because I'm not losing any functionality with a slightly smaller phone, but I am gaining something that is more mobile, fits into pockets and usable with one hand. I understand the large screen appeal,

I'd happily buy a phone the original iPhone (iPod) size. I'm yet to find a productivity app where that extra screen space solves the problem. Same thing with laptops, whatever I can't do on a 14", I also can't do on

Reddit's CEO stated that what Elon did to Twitter was a model he'd like Reddit to follow. Although Reddit's changes are fresh, it has declined both in quality and esteem from copying this business style. I expect further decl

While this works through the courts - it is kind of amusing to think that Elon is suggesting that Meta somehow needed Twitter's IP to build Threads. Here are some monthly active user stats for social media/chat networks(1): 1. Fac

Meta have already stated that no former twitter employees worked on Threads. That's not all that surprising though, Meta could obviously build such a product from their own learnings and IP.

In some circumstances, Facebook's app will randomly block you from certain sub-features and request an ear-to-ear scan of your face to unblock them. It's bonkers, and clear how they go about obtaining their data.

It's not a matter of opinion, the recording did not include a threat or blackmail. Asking to be bought, even if done so coyly, is neither extortion nor blackmail. Blackmail is a threat of revealing damaging information. That didn'
