I also had a "File Manager" thing that was on my phone. I thought it was an official Google app but it was a 3rd party thing...I think. It was on my old phone and then Google brought it onto my new phone.
When you open it up it also starts some app cleaner and booster thing.
Oh, I just searched and it was an Alcatel (old phone) specific app.
File Manager on Play Store (alcatel)[^]
I uninstalled it and found the Google Files thing. Sheesh, phones these days.

124 Amazing Facts for People Who Like Amazing Facts[^]
According to MSN, one day in April 1930 the BBC reported: "There is no news" and played piano music instead. Heck, here in the USA they would have aired a rerun of one of the episodes from an earlier season!

If it happened today, the BBC would wheel in some z-list celebrity and get them to push their latest book ... once they had finished enthusing over the latest BBC TV series, that is.
The very concept of "News" appears to be a negotiable commodity these days.

doing some weekend email/inbox catchup
Noticed doing evansdata surveys it occasionally mentions statckoverflow but not codeproject.
sad really, not enough cp'ers doing surveys? I add codeproject in 'others' where appropriate. Any others doing this?

TBH, I had a quick look, and they don't tell you what you get paid - all I could find was a footnote indicator:
Quote: receive award points for every validated* survey submission
for a footnote that doesn't exist.
It would appear that you can't find out what the rewards are until you register - and registration requires quite a lot of information.
That kinda shouts "SCAM!" at me, much like the "paint houses at home for loads of money" offers do.
Me? I'll pass, thanks.

When a new survey is available they send email indicating the subject and points, typically 2000 - 3000 per survey depending on length. If you join you'll probably find at least 1 recent survey (3000 points) still open.
Sometimes based on the first few questions they may say you're not suitable to continue (i.e. one survey couple months ago they asked about doing IoT, as I answered that I'm doing none, so they wouldn't let me complete - fine - and yes if you're hungry you can lie and say yes....) - and no, they don;t wait till the very end to tell you if you qualify, it'll be in the first few questions.
After doing the survey takes maybe a week or 2 for the points to be credited, but they will come - I've never been let down (they got history so can see surveys pending/credited).
I've done it for bit over a year and once already cashed in 30000 points for a $25 paypal credit - came very soon after the request, already back at 25000 points (20k gets a $15 voucher, but better ratio to get to use 30k for $25).
Nice feel-good reward for 15 minuits every month or so, but mostly you get your vote counted.

It depends upon how off-fin they pod on a good show.
