Ah you've been too good and I've run out of free articles for Wired (!!!, a first I assure you!)

I have a policy not to engage with subscriptions where they want a credit card and then it renews automatically, but that's 100% not your fault.

@Homebrewandhacking I’m honoured to use up your free slots (secret tip: reader mode usually gets around paywalls)

What is "reader mode"? 🤔

A feature-packed distraction-free web reader with dyslexia support and research tools

@Homebrewandhacking Safari on Apple devices offers this. For Chrome users I like this extension: https://reader.postlight.com

Postlight Reader is a browser extension that removes ads and distractions, leaving only text and images for a beautiful reading view on any site.

Some top tech tips there! I'll have to have a look when I'm not on my phone. Thanks! 😀
