How about "Chrome for iOS Adds Support for Apple's App Extensions"? Or just "...for Apple's 'Extensions'"

It doesn't actually establish a VPN. It takes advantage of the OS' ability to route all network traffic through an app - the easiest way to do that is to have the app claim it's creating a VPN, but it's really just scanning the data locally and piping it back out to your normal data connection.

I stopped Jailbreaking my iPhone when I switched to Android. Does that count?

My battery life went to hell when I tried to allow an app to manage my iVPN connection, presumably because the app had to be awake most of the time and keeping the VPN active, otherwise my background data wouldn't flow through it.

This all looks good but it appears I can't actually send SMS messages via my Voice number through the Hangouts app.

Sure, that's great. I'm glad it works for you - everyone should use what works. But saying your system is the best of an imperfect set of choices is silly. It's only the best at some very specific things, and is completely inappropriate/wrong for other priorities.

It's only "the best of nothing but imperfect options" if you weight privacy as absolutely the #1 most important thing, overwhelming all other considerations.

I did it and got an extra year of existing service. I used the same email address that my LastPass account is under.

Can that LastPass deal add an additional free year on top of an existing subscription? Or is it only for new signups?

I find this kind of advice to be a little ridiculous.

I just cut an extra large slice and serve the broken, piece to myself. Because it's broken, it's hard for everyone else to see that it's bigger than theirs, and I can act like I'm doing everyone a favor by taking the ugly slice.

$17,500 is the maximum sum for pre-tax 401(k), 403(b) or 457(b) plans.

I'm putting away the maximum yearly 401(k) contribution right now ($17,500) and the Roth IRA contribution ($5,500). On top of that, I put away another ~15% of my salary in liquid savings.

I always ask even if the store doesn't have a policy on refunding the difference. If they refuse, just shrug and say "okay, then I'd like to return it."

Files get a drive to drive copy using Windows Backup, automatically, every night. Files get backed up to Crashplan, automatically.

PSA: it's not a backup if your data only exists in one place.

Our 401(k) is reasonable. They contribute 3% even if you don't actually contribute anything yourself. After that, they will match 50% up to another 6% (i.e. another 3% of your salary).

Android Wear, specifically, isn't enough to get me interested.

Sure, I agree with that completely. Not every issue will be settled in one conversation... but virtually no issue will be settled without at least one conversation.

The response to the question could basically be boiled down to this line:
