I think I’m missing some context here. 🙂

August 18th, a detail which really should have been in the title.

I use 4 different browsers and lock down each one depending on task… my general browsing browser is set to wipe every shutdown. The others only ever visit a single site.

Yeah you are going far beyond most people, but passkeys will be a major step up for the majority of the population who still use the same or similar passwords for everything.

Had this a few weeks ago, my partner had her email hacked, she used the same password on a service that was hacked and email/passwords stollen. They first used a ‘forgot password’ on her phone operator account, reported the SIM as lost/stollen and registered her number to a new SIM. Then they could change the passwords on anything they liked as they had her phone number and got the 2FA calls and SMS. They then went through accounts downloading apps and setting up or re-registering MFA once the passwords were changed.

Oh yeah - I think we switched from a very similar one which was biodegradable, i thought the whole “earth rated “ fooled me into thinking these were too! I think the old ones were called something like “beco”

These are the ones we are using ATM: https://amzn.to/3Qul0BK

Sorry it’s an Amazon link, I’m trying not to use them, so I tend to get them when doing a dog treats order, or from a local pet shop.

Good quality lavender scented biodegradable dog poo bags, they are about 3p per bag when buying ~6 months worth, but you can buy nappy bags for about 0.3p per bag. That extra 2.7p per poo is well worth it. 2 poos a day is about £10 per year to not risk getting poo on your hands, having lavender scented pockets, and less plastic usage.

Would you like a match to get it started?

This may be the difference here, I have never broken a phone, my iPhone 6 became my dads and is still going, and my current phone is the iPX I bought over 8 years ago.

You probably need to take better care of your stuff. 😀

Where are you getting an iPhone for less than $160 that still gets security updates??

I can replace my iPX for about $200 for a refurbished one, but not get an 11 which will only have 9 more months of updates. I can probably get a used 11 with an already trashed (<70%) battery for $160.

You just reminded me I still have an inspection camera which can only work with software that requires Windows XP, last time I used it I had to run it on a virtual machine on my laptop, it’s been a few years, I probably don’t have the VM anymore. The camera works perfectly, I wish I’d paid the extra for the one with its own screen.

I’m going to respectfully disagree; had the phone kept shutting down you would have gone to Apple or a 3rd party repairer and got a new battery for 30-80£€$.

By masking the real issue and just giving you a poor experience, you wonder if it was always like that, or if there is something wrong at all, maybe you compare it with a snappy new phone and decide to upgrade for 1000£€$

Not come across that one, maybe it didn’t affect iOS 16, so us iPhone X users are safe?

It is funny that all the responses so far have been about phones.

Got to be Apple slowing down older iPhones to mask battery degradation, and hoping no one would notice.

Squeeze the can until it flies up and lands in your mouth.

I don’t think I ever said they were particularly bad… just stating facts here. The opinion that “every major news channel is like this” however is troubling. All news channels have their influences, you just have to identify what they are and adjust critical thinking accordingly.

A news channel created by the state of Qatar and initially staffed by ex BBC presenters who were paid massive amounts to attempt to astroturf over their human rights abuses and corruption.

Edit: forgot to add, Qatar also imposes censorship on journalism and uses Al Jazeera to push their “truth”. Hence the irony.

I genuinely thought this was satire, never heard of either and have only just started with LibreWolf… now I have more options to research!

Thanks - 22.1 is getting installed today.
