    Yes, I meant money. Sorry, english is not my first language... It uses the phone number and is linked to your bank account. So it is an automated and instantaneous way of sending m…

    Yes, I agree, I was going to write the same. But to be honest, I like cash. The feeling of the cash flowing out of your hand is much more palpable than when you use a card :) In Sw…

    That is a bit of an exaggeration. We use English word in German and French and barely notice anymore. Maybe the difference is that everybody speaks English, so we are more aware, t…

    I use Windows hello and Apple passkey as secondary fido devices, isn’t that a valid method??

    Maybe it is a good safety measure, but there is nothing more annoying than asking users to renew passwords and blocking access to windows components... I wonder if the benifits jus…

    That is not how the system works. If you have extra production in case of high energy prices, you can make a profit by selling it to the eu. If prices increase domestically, it mus…

    No, I also thought about it and found it obvious that he won.

    I have a dual sim iPhone 11. Everytime I switch off the main sim and use the other on abroad, imessage breaks and I have to use WhatsApp. Never manages to link two phone numbers, l…

    Oh god, thanks for the tip! :D I always wondered what that point was sometimes doing there. Somehow the asterisk is easier to understand!

    I mean, we have it in the big ones. When I go through the Lötschberg or Gotthard I get full 4G coverage.

    I live in Germany, and while I need a smartphone to get the code for my online banking access, it doesn’t require a SIM card or a phone number.

    Really? I've done the switch from a Pixel 2 to an Iphone 11 pro and while it seems a bit smoother, I don't get annoyed when I switch back to my Pixel.

    Ironically it has brought a breath of fresh air to my surface in tablet mode. I use it everyday with touchscreen only and find it very satisfying.

    I love firefox. The only big difference for now is that it is better integrated with windows. You can swipe back on the trackpad to go back and use your touchscreen seamlessly (eve…

    You're not wrong, but it is much faster than old edge and just as nicely integrated with touch. I say it's a big upgrade! :)

    I’m sure I’ll get used to it, those were first impressions. Controls aren’t as visible as they used to be. Thanks for the tip with the lock screen!

    I just made the move from Android 10 to iOS 13. I was shocked how complicated the process was. Not saying that one is more intuitive than the other. But man... No back button. The …

    It's 200€, and my computer that is 10 years old can be kept up to date. Upgrades are really fast. I really think that it is a rock solid operating system that opens up a lot of pos…

    I don't get this kind of comment. I bought a surface pro 2 years ago. I had to turn off the promoted apps and uninstall a few commercial games. But since then, no commercial ever a…

    In the end, it seems that Microsoft adopting Chromium is pushing more and more tech people toward Firefox, fearing a monopoly of the former. Isn't that ironic?

    The problem is mainly that the user interface is in my opinion horrible. Especially for new users (I've helped a few newbies), it's hard to see the tabs and to be aware that the br…
