Got a really ... annoying ... problem on my #android 16 phone (Pixel 8a) .. just back from Google repair, and reinstalled everything from blank slate, and now I get absolutely no notifications. Turned off Adaptive Battery but ... still nada ?! Whatsapp, Signal etc all impacted

With the NCSC closing down CISP entirely I am finding I am missing the communicative / collaborative aspects that it used to provide. Where do folk find these now, in a controlled / safe environment?

ARE there alternatives even? It does seem that the NCSC themselves are not even considering bringing anything like it back, which I find really disappointing as the early days of CISP were invaluable IMO.

What’s the code signing situation these days. Both small company and open source. Looks rather drastically different since I looked at this five year ago! #development

What software recommendations are there for todo list tracking? Windows / iOS / synced preferably.

I'm curious to hear, what sites do photographers post pictures up to these days when sharing, as well as (say) on here?

@zuhair Thanks! Will do some experimentation :) It's a 13 that I have for testing, but noticed that some older written tags work on Android but not iOS. Been a while since I poked iOS!
Has iPhone finally added background reading / proper NFC support or do you still need an app for reading tags? #apple #iphone #nfc #development

We are only a couple of weeks away from the mobile emergency system being tested out on the evening of the 23rd April, when an alert will be sent to all UK mobiles.

If you suffer from a condition where a loud or sudden noise is an issue, or you have a hidden phone due to #domesticabuse please make sure your phone is OFF, on AIRPLANE mode on this day or *disable these alerts in your phone settings*.

Public emergency alerts to be sent to all UK smartphones

The government will send people loud, siren-like warnings to alert them when there is a risk to life.

@heurism that’s a massive yikes. These types of tech are sadly now so common too with the rise of fully remote roles. It’s one of the reasons I question as much as I can and tend to refuse contracts that expect me to enrol my device and hand over management to a company. Honestly … I trust no company now 😅
