The only solution that works is the one you made a habit out of it. That means sticking to it daily at least a month. (using Todoist + GTD for a year).

Thanks, I already stumbled upon Aerobatic and it's in Todo list for trying it out :] One thing though, is it possible to use a naked domain ? Although I could use CloudFlare which supports ALIAS records.

Todoist is half of that price and basically can be used daily without notifications and comments for free.

Just wow. I'm thinking about pulling my personal Jekyll site hosted off GitHub pages and host somewhere else. Not sure about the alternatives though, with custom domain support. Ah well, a nice weekend task.

I got a second-hand 5S last year with faulty Touch ID, the seller admitted that it didn't work and didn't even notice because he never used it (at the time also many Touch IDs stopped working after iOS 8 updates). I got a lower pr

You can get the button exchanged, but since each one is coupled with the secure enclave co-processor, touch ID doesn't work anymore. But home button still works, so does the phone encryption, you just can't identify yourself with

Yes, I believe a hosted personal site is better, since it's also under my control. Anyone can search your name online and get that as a top hit. You can delete LinkedIn, but if your profile was public, good luck getting all the data sc

Hovering the link to check the URL is a good old trick. Well until browsers start to hide that as well.

I hope they'll include a "Stop the nanny" flag in chrome://flags as well. I mean you can't even change the new tab page to a custom .html, without Chrome nagging you at every launch if the settings are correct.

I wish they had more choice regarding purchasing more space. I'm not interested in 1TB and find 10$ per month too much if I wont even use 10% of it. Although if there is a cloud provider I'd trust that sync would never fuck up, I&

I'd thought FB for work is at least siloed from your personal FB. You get notifications from the personal account as well? Well now I know why they made it this way, since it'll drive the FB usage - even at work! Disgusting.

Yeah the forced Windows 10 adoption despite being a bag of dicks plus added telemetry practices with dark patterns make them a very well suited buyer for an app which can collect all typed data on your smartphone.

There is no other keyboard out there which can predict multiple languages without clumsy language switching. Fuck, now all the data will be mined by Microsoft. Another great product FUBARed, just like Sunrise.

Sadly you need to pirate it as an end consumer. One could rationalize the free upgrade with the pirated LTSB though.

You can use app called Nine for Exchange, which locks the app only, not the whole device.
