I wrote a comment about this a couple of weeks ago and it's still valid. Show me a weekend Lifehacker where every post doesn't have broken links, inaccurate information and the like.

A quick tip for those who have access to App Ops. Set everything you want to change to "Ask Each Time". Then you get to know when that app is actually asking for your data and you can make a reasoned decision to let it have access or not. When the app requests access a box will pop up asking so and giving you the…
Plus those guys write assuming the reader is as knowledgeable as they are. Just try following the average rooting instructions. They already assume you know, for example how to unlock the bootloader etc. You follow a bunch of detailed instructions then they throw in a one liner such as "now flash the kernel" then…
Yeah you're right but who the hell wants to hook all the way round that way from the turnpike and start heading north again? Only strangers hurtling south on the turnpike will follow those mischievous signs directing you to follow I-95 all way round Trenton instead of continuing on the turnpike. I always thought as I…
I neither care about, nor have the means to stop the government prying into what I do. Although I break the law like everyone else in the country without exception I don't think they're going to tap my phone for evidence of my speeding. Advertisers on the other hand, and people that collect data just for the sake of…
You can get to Reading view in IE11 on a Windows 7 desktop. You need to change a few settings and be in full screen with address bar. There is an issue in that everything centers down the middle - at least on my widescreen monitor
Yes I just posted earlier today that you could user two step authentication with your phone and card on the same basis as it's used now - something you have (the card) and something you know (the authentication number).
You can do this without installing any software using aliases and indirection. I posted it as a tip a couple of years ago as part of a password hiding feature. Go to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App Paths and create a new entry called whatever you want your shortcut to be, let's say cr for Chrome (I…
I know about the last exit thing but it was too complicated to post :)
Yeah, my dealer always has loads of it around.
I don't see any pitfalls if the card companies and retailers take a leaf out of Google and Microsoft's books and introduced two step authentication instead of a PIN. It would have to be elective because not everyone has a phone. Instead of entering your PIN you enter the authentication number provided by your phone.…
As I remember 95S has a toll to get out of DE and whichever tunnel you use in Baltimore has tolls. You can actually avoid the bay bridge toll if you leave 50 just after the Comfort Inn and come back just after the service road ends and cut through the police station parking lot.
Alan did a post about who owns data a couple of months back but a quick search won't reveal it. It was a good read too.
Yeah, it's Vanderbilt beach in Naples Fl. I used to live in NYC till I married. He lived here and choice of where to live was a no-brainer.
Like I'm gonna put my thumb on a screen the sneezing, snotted-up kid in front of me has just touched.
The thing with the longer passwords was to thwart anyone looking over your shoulder and trying to memorize the PIN before stealing it.
Really? I have battery widget reborn on my phone which, among other features has a discharging chart which lets you see the effect of for example leaving on the GPS. I notice very little difference with or without GPS and leave it on all the time.
No, you misunderstand I think. Your photo would be imprinted on the card, prominently.
Beach at the end of my street
