Personally, as someone who juggles a lot. Strict blocks of time for specific tasks is the only way to go otherwise everything competes for my attention and nothing gets done well.

Rebuild and debloat is your best option in my opinion. Clean install will make a big difference.

If it's so big that it needs to be folded then surely a laptop is a better choice?

Thanks all, closing.

Thanks all, closing replies.

I'm not a fan personally of large phones anyway, so even if it folds smaller I don't want something that's massive when I'm using it.

Here are our tips and guidelines for ensuring your anonymity and safety as well as information on how your information is managed: It is up to you how much information you wish to share (or not). Staff will never ask you for personal information. Remember that images & other information creates links. For example sharing a photo of your dog that is also posted to your Facebook with your real name and city could reveal your identity. The same is true if you use the same username, profile picture etc between sites. Certain forums will allow you to post anonymously - consider using this feature when discussing any private or personal that you want to remain completely private. Secure your forum account by enabling multi-factor authentication. You can request to see what personal identifiable information the site has for you at any time. Staff are happy to remove your content or account if you require. Important disclosure Staff cannot view member PII such email addresses, billing/store information, IP address details or anonymous post authors. Community Managers, who administer the site and it's underlying infrastructure have restricted access to such information as is required to perform their duties.

On the flipside the apple and I presume android eco systems have a lot of great functionality to help manage and monitor screen time and indeed other online activity. It's certainly not going anywhere so it's about education and ensuring proper, sensible usage in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing. My cats also get a bit skittish and FYI that link it's working, the video is unavailable!

Support Forums has moved to a more complete community platform that makes it significantly easier to offer a modern, feature rich experience whilst also allowing us to scale for the future. I will continue to tweak over the coming weeks, and if you can't login then a password reset should solve the issue. Any issues let me know.

Argan oil for sure!

Laptops are just not great, that’s the fact - if possible spend a similar amount even on an entry level desktop PC and it’d be better in my opinion.

We’re excited to invite you to join our discord. We have no plans to integrate the website and discord together as we feel that presents privacy and security challenges. There isn’t any inherent risk with Discord itself, but it’s a third-party platform outside of our control and therefore we don’t want to expose your information, account details or messages (especially safe space discussions) to something that we have no control over. Discord provides some really unique features that we think will enhance our community engagement. Each member can decide whether they’d like to join our discord, and indeed it is your choice if you would like to link your website and discord personas together. For those that do, manual verification and special discord server roles are available, contact a member of staff for more information. Thanks all.

Consolidation loans can be tricky because ultimately you likely won’t be able to double your debt profile to consolidate everything, especially if you have high debt and low credit. There’s no guarantee that you’ll use the money to pay off your existing loans so it’s a risky and at least in the UK irresponsible lending decision that the bank/company would be fined for.

My Apple TV is a buy I don’t think I could live without now. No more smart TV with 20 different channel apps etc + the ability to use my phone/siri/keyboard etc to navigate is a game changer.

rainn Good point. As with anything - the harder you say no or make something the more teens usually want to do it.

Remember though, there aren’t many VPN providers, especially large/well known ones that don’t retain usage logs. From a privacy perspective most VPNs will not anonymise you meaning that your internet activity can still be snooped through or accessed by the relevant authorities upon request.

I am not a parent, but I am interested to hear from those of you who are, regarding the UK’s online safety act. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-safety-act-explainer/online-safety-act-explainer As a technologist, to me this is pretty clear cut censoring and monitoring dressed up as “protect the children” and a massive devastating data breach waiting to happen. If this is about the youth of the UK accessing pornography too early, I think all this act does is drive them deeper in to the internet to find sites that aren’t complying with the legislation. These sites are likely far less moderated and are likely to have extreme content. I would argue that it’s the parents job to be aware enough of what their children are accessing online, and if necessary use the parental blocks that already exist and of course have conversations about sex, relationships and pornography etc - as you can know they’re going to see it regardless. Thoughts?

she58 Can’t go wrong with an XPS imo. Check out latest deals though to find some great savings.

I think the VR headsets for example WHF meetings might catch on but it’s all very cost prohibitive at the moment.

techburner Your images are broken, FYI.

techburner Super confusion. I’ve cleared things up.
