PSA: If you are using an Android phone, and you have Microsoft Teams installed, and you're not logged into Microsoft Teams on that phone: please uninstall it, or you won't be able to call 911!

Very handy!
I think nobody wants this alway-on smartphone camera, Qualcomm! 😡
Wow, is ebay ever terrible for selling items these days. 24 hour "indexing" delay that fails even that ridiculously generous SLA. Contact customer support and the answer is to cancel & relist items and hope it shows up again some time in the future. How is there no competitor to come in and eat their lunch?

I hate typing on touchscreens. For years, this was a non-issue since I had a BlackBerry Classic. After moving to a more modern phone (first a Moto e6, then a Teracube 2e), I wanted a solution that would make it easier to see and respond to SMS on my computer and larger tablet. I settled on JMP, which connects a number to an XMPP account, and wrote about my experience.

Looks like I'm NOT that paranoid because of refusing to use any fingerprint related unlocking mechanism after all.

Only shows how big #GoogleMaps has become, where a government agency "asks" them to modify their features, and whose users "pay" for the "free" map by becoming targets for advertisers
P.S.
Many of these cycleway maps are available for Free #OpenStreetMap 😜
