    Apple Support Blames App Developers for Major Limitation in iOS

    iOS does not display vertical-only apps correctly, when using the iPad as a laptop (iPad standing horizontally, keyboard attached). This makes it impractical to use the keyboard with many apps, as it's only practical to use the keyboard when the iPad is positioned horizontally. Specifically...

    Reconsider allowing texting-talk?

    The rules of this site allow texting-talk, and other non-standard forms of English. Perhaps it's time to reconsider. Multiple times: Someone's come to this site, and it's been difficult to understand him because of his non-standard English. I'm starting to consider just not responding when...

    Motherboard Upgrade to Run Modern Android?

    As most of you know: When an Android computer (and smartphones are handheld computers) is too old, it won't get Android updates anymore. To run the latest Android, you usually need to get a new computer. But why's that? Why not just replace the motherboard? Why aren't there new motherboards...

    Do Knock-Off Phones Deserve their Unsavory Reputation?

    There are cheap Android phones available that are meant to look like more popular brands (most notably iPhones). My understanding is: Those knock-off phones are looked down upon. But is that unsavory reputation really deserved? If you make a phone with the same dimensions and all as an iPhone...

    iOS: Install Apps you Want before Apple Bans them for Political Reasons

    Apple has banned the news app RT, and the social media app Gab, for political reasons. There's no guarantee that Apple's going to stop there. Sideloading isn't practical on iOS, so if the app's banned from the Apple app store: It can't be installed. However, you can install the app before Apple...

    Would Affiliate Links be a Good way for the Forum to Make Money?

    Would affiliate links be a good way for the forum to make money? For example, say the word "AdGuard" appears in a post. That could automatically turn into a link to the AdGuard website, via the forum's affiliate link (I've included my own affiliate link to show what this would look like). That...

    Rename "Gaming" section to "Video-games"?

    In my opinion: the "Gaming" section of the forum should be renamed "Video-games"? "Gaming" (and "gamer") is jargon, slang. The standard English term is "video-game", and that's the term people are more likely to understand. This is especially important if we want this forum to speak to a...

    Linux for Mobile? How good is it, and does it give the Android experience?

    How are the mobile Linux distributions? And particularly: Do they give you the Android experience? That is: Do they run Android apps, do they give you the Android navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen (back, desktop, switch apps), etc.?

    Mint & Utra Mobile Purchased by T-Mobile

    Mint & Utra Mobile were purchased by T-Mobile. The first comment on Mint Mobile's video sums up my feelings: That's what happened when Sprint bought Nextel! What made Nextel Nextel went away, and Sprint was a poor substitute.

    Turning Windows into Android?

    As many of you know: I have both Android and Windows 11 installed on my computer (a tablet-laptop hybrid). That is: I have two operating systems on the same computer. What about another approach?

    Mental Outlaw: Apple Has Begun Scanning Users Files even with iCloud turned off

    According to technology reporter "Mental Outlaw": Apple's been snooping through the private photos of iOS users, even with iCloud (Apple's cloud storage) turned off. If true, this is very disappointing! This is behavior you would expect from your creepy uncle, or Google, not from Apple.

    How important are Android and App Security Updates?

    I'd be very warry of a computer (including tablets/smartphones) that's connected to the Internet, yet no longer receiving security updates! Yet multiple people on forums have told me that Android systems without OS security updates can be used safely, so long as you otherwise have good security...
