I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S5 that I've had since just after the S6 came out.
My wife thinks it's time for new phones, so I'm looking at the S9+.

It may be the last phone in Sammy land without a hole or notch! Went from an S5 to a Note 8 via the Note 7, and love the 8. You will probably love the 9+. So much faster without the 16gb limitation. And the cameras are in a whole different league! Enjoy!

A popular hotspot finder app for Android exposed the Wi-Fi network passwords for more than two million networks. I guess I shouldn't be telling people my passwords in these headings, either, huh?

So long as cryptocurrency exists, so too will the extraordinary lengths to which thieves will go to try to steal it. Unfortunately, that also includes preying on weak private keys, a method that has evidently made one crypto bandit filthy rich with millions in swiped Ethereum. *cracks knuckles* I told ya, they call me the blockchain bandit.

in bed with the whale$: what a shock ! [^] Quote: Europe's new standard for protecting online information, the GDPR, was supposed to strengthen data privacy. But nearly a year later, the world's chief enforcer — Ireland — has yet to take a single action against major technology firms like Facebook and Google.
Our 10-month investigation found that Ireland spent years wooing America's biggest tech companies. Ireland's regulatory agency showed a pattern of accommodating corporate interests, avoiding disruptive enforcement action and prioritizing "engagement" — consulting — with companies whenever possible. And now that's threatening data privacy for billions of people around the world. A POLITICO investigation:

The last few months have been all about Microsoft getting rid of its legacy products...
However, nothing received more user attention than the Windows maker’s July 2018 decision to deprecate Microsoft Paint. Paint lovers will be happy to know that the company has decided against removing Paint as a standard feature of Windows 10, as confirmed by Brandon LeBlanc, Senior Program Manager of the Windows Insider Program at Microsoft.
This is the most promising news I've seen about W10 since the last icon pack update.

Obviously, you've been playing too much of TDWTFs Release! the Game. (One of the 3 suits of cards in the game is Doors; the others are Fruits and Birds.)

Sharply observed, that must be my favourite game

At least at the initial Kickstarter prices, the game was worth it just for the lulz. They skewered everything that was buzzword compliant in tech, and did a really good job of it.

That's actually extremely useful for training and when taking on new people.
Shame it's only on amazon, where I will not hand over money.

It's also freely downloadable for print and play if you hate Bezos more than whoever sells your grotesquely marked up printer ink.

You make really good points, there. Well phrased.

Good, not that my auto updates are on, but golly gee, where would I ctrl-V a screen grab to save it as a jpg. That's said, remember when MS Paint only knew about BMP files. - you're old if you do.

I think with XP it learned about .png, .jpg, .gif, and .tif. I still use that version because I can't stand its successors.

Samsung on Monday delayed the launch of the Fold following reports that some of the small number of devices seeded to reviewers began to malfunction or break. The CNET review unit, handled by editor Jessica Dolcourt, hasn't suffered the same issues. This is no Galaxy Note 7 debacle.

My understanding is that two conditions are affecting the device. The first is user error. There is a thin layer of plastic the covers the screen and is required for the screen to function. Users are removing the film thinking it's just a screen protector. The second is that this film leaves a gap at the hing when folding. This gap allows dust and other particles to get behind this film causing the same issue of the screen malfunctioning.

I feel like I completely lost that spontaneity and simple mindset. Every project which I take up has become an attempt to make money. I tell myself, “Oh wow, that’s a cool app idea, I should build it. But wait….how am I going to monetize it. Is it worth it?” Sound familiar?

The real question should be, "What will I learn from doing this?"
I've been writing code as a hobby for over 40 years, and have rarely - if ever - asked myself, "How am I going to monetize this?"
Given today's rapid-fire feature updates, I ALWAYS ask myself, "Is it worth learning this?"
