Is there no way of recovering deleted photos from IOS? Granted I've only recovered data from camera SD cards but it was pretty painless.

I'm English and my wife and kids are french so naturally all our devices are set to french - our Google speakers do not understand my terrible french accent but bizarrely work perf…

I take valafaxine / effexor for depression and I remember for the first week or so getting slightly high like as if I'd taken a low dosage of E which was my drug of choice (I had a…

Touch requires a bigger target area and big checkboxes look terrible.

And how dense England is - I'm from Leicester and one hours drive (give or take) I can reach Nottingham, Derby, Coventry, Birmingham, Sheffield, Northampton, Lincoln. Two and a hal…

A good alu frame is more comfortable than a cheap steel or carbon frame IME. I think a lot of the perceived differences comes down to tyres rather than frame material - steel bikes…

Garmin Etrex.

That must be quite terrifying given the location - does the alert indicate the strength of the quake?

OP, my mum was 44 and my dad 49 when I was born - they were great parents and they both admit having me kept them young. I lost my mum this year due to vascular dementia but my dad…

One of my all time favourite books too. I'd recommend 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson if you've not read it - it's in a similar vein / world to the third part of Seveneves.
