Not sure but sounds like you’ll have time to try avoid the deletion. The warning emails should forward to your main account.

“Before deleting an account, we will send multiple notifications over the months leading up to deletion, to both the account email address and the recovery email (if one has been provided).”

Yes! Does anyone remember BlackICE?

Losing the Signal is a really well written book about RIM/Blackberry. A cautionary tale about losing focus.

+1000 I hate the Spotify interface. Why the f can’t we get a full list of tracks for an artist?

If you’re reading this, thank you Inkscape team!

The BBC is a great organisation, but on the topic of milk on a hot day, I’m trusting the Channel 4 News team.

Couldn’t agree more about the Touch bar, it makes my MacBook worse.

Haha, I hadn’t thought of that. Yes, we are :)

Thanks, will give it a try.

I think Vivaldi is a new company started by the ex-Opera CEO.

"We thank all of our licensees for their great support in making mp3 the defacto audio codec in the world". This doesn't make sense. Defacto standard?

10 points for Gryffindor.

Yeah, I really liked it feature wise, but it was a shocker on performance.

Super interesting. So the overlay tricks the phone into thinking there's 2 SIMs in the phone?

I take the point on the security of physical + pin for protection. I guess I'd just love a solution where I could simply switch between accounts without physically swapping something or having a multi-SIM phone.

I hadn't thought about the security of being a physical token. Feels like you could do 2FA using someone's email (or similar) to protect against some scenarios, but take the point that someone having to steal something physical changes the attack surface.

Fair assessment. I'd just like to be able to have a few SIMs loaded in software for travelling, given the typically extortionate roaming fees.

Agree, seems bizarre but sounds like sloppy device config.

It's disappointing the article doesn't give any actionable detail of the recall. From what I can see, Hangzhou Xiongmai is a components manufacturer, not a retail brand, so there's no practical way to identify an affected device with the information here.

It's disappointing that, before trying to shut them down with legal threats, record labels don't try to partner and monetise sites like Mixcrate. While I'm making an assumption here, I think it's very likely to be the case.

No one is going to hear a track in a DJ mix, then NOT buy it because they heard it in a mix. It's just not a substitute for anything that labels are selling. In fact, the opposite is true, that people are much more likely to go and buy a track because the mix helped them discover it.

A large number of folks uploading mixes to Mixcrate would be amateur, making no money from whatever promotional value using a track may give them. They do it for the love of it. Some would have been DJs who do mix for profit. I'd suggest some low-cost licensing system, paying a few dollars a month to use licensed tracks would be a decent solution for both.

Sites like Mixcrate closing down kills two revenue streams for labels, 1) referral/discovery purchases and 2) a direct licensing model.

Outlook unlikely to be a good option unfortunately, I just need a calendar for Mac and Android.

It's a shame, I'd pay for it if they kept running it as a standalone product and they might be able to use that as a channel to get me using their other products over time... but alas, I will just stop using their product all together.
