You can't realiably poll from a mobile phone. Your app may not be allowed to execute any code, let alone make a network request for hours, or maybe forever.

It's like that because mobile clients need cooperation from the server to have push notifications, and you can't have IMAP servers cooperate in that regard :-) so the outlook servers fetch the mail for you and then send you the notifications.

I wouldn't have microsoft read my email either, of course. Thankfully in windows you have dozens of clients to choose from.

Probably because the new outlook can only access microsoft servers, so they synchronise icloud to outlook server-side and you only access outlook client-side.

Thunderbird is improving so much and so fast since they left Mozilla. I wonder if the same could work for Firefox.

You buy IPTV stream passwords (or whatever is used to log in) from some guy and once he knows your card details he can use them for anything else, yes. That's how it works.

Title is false. He was selected for additional screening and he doesn't have any proof that it was because of his name. Also he wasn't stopped from boarding the flight, he was just screened more exhaustively than others.

I was expecting better from the BBC... oh wait I wasn't.

Unfortunately, no, prices haven't dropped for Renfe fares.

Coupled with: https://twitter.com/el_pais/status/1716776148049285585

There clearly is a reason for all of this: they don't want you travelling if you are poor.

+1, Iryo and Ouigo are recent and they are losing money. Renfe has always been tremendously expensive - more expensive than a car or plane.

These train travel success stories are anti-personal transportation propaganda. They want to push you to using trains and then they will raise the prices - they want you not travelling anywhere if you are poor.

The article does not say that he's being forced to engage with dissenting opinions.

>Federal officials allege Joseph David Emerson tried to shut down the engines in midflight and had to be subdued by the two pilots.

Why couldn't he? Does it take a long time to press the button, do you need several people to press it at once...?
