  • I use MSEdgeRedirect to redirect both the search engine and the browser used by start menu searches.

  • I'm mentally toying with the idea of videos

    If they're anything like this post I'd watch in a heartbeat!

  • I gotchu!

    In about:config type browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh and press plus (add as true).

    Then go to about:preferences > Search Shortcuts > Add .

    Good luck!

  • By any chance do you use SwiftKey? I can string together multiple misspelled words and it almost always figures me out.

  • This article is actually specifically about mobile! Yes it's great. :)

  • Yep (and I had the same reaction).

  • I used to use Privacy.com and Mint until I did some looking into Plaid. They present a login screen that looks like your bank and you assume they're doing some kind of OAuth. Nope they're just taking your full banking credentials and you have to hope they're safe. I think Plaid is a ticking time bomb. When it gets hacked a lot of people will be in trouble.

  • Hangouts was peak Google messaging. It was iMessage before iMessage. I don't know if it necessarily came first, but all my friends who have iPhones and use iMessage now used to use Hangouts on Android. I think Google has a huge opportunity to be the popular brand and lost it.

  • Good question. Just because it's out of fashion doesn't mean it's bad. I'd be curious if the commenter has legitimate gripes.

  • maybe there should be a third button for less confusion?

    I think it's fine as is. Three dots after a button / menu item imply more interaction is required before an action is taken.

  • The problem is that they only disconnect. They don't actually turn off. You have to go into the settings for that.

    When you toggle the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth buttons in Control Center, your device immediately disconnects from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth accessories. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will continue to be available

  • Why is my dashboard broken!? reloads page Ok ok it works now

    Too real...

  • I upvoted this post and maybe I'll see it again once the feature is implemented. :)

  • It needs to he implemented on the server first! It's in the database, but there's no API call that will return it.
