   Curious what y'all think of Protonmail? I've been using their service partially (just within family and a few friends). They lack two big (features/caveats?) as of now. (1) searching for a text within the body of the email is

   It is to an extent funny to think that governments think they can sit on top of communications and implement mass surveillance. If you make it illegal to encrypt your stuff, the knowledged/tech savvy people will start to work on using

   I don't remember paying even the $1 to them ever and I've been using WhatsApp for a good few years. Every time the expiration date approaches, it automatically gets pushed away. Either they were just giving away subscriptions inte

    Accessing everything on lock screen? So, my GF can see my app activity and pretty do all the things without my authentication? Craig touts specifically that we don't need to press the home button for all this to work...

    Copy/paste across iPhone and Mac is very useful. All the other features are Meh. I really don't want to be that guy talking to my Mac at work. I can't be sure that all my questions to Siri are not awkward to speak out. Woul
