If you’re a regular user of a free email service, or don’t want to create multiple email addresses on your paid email service like Google Suite, you can always use aliases.

If your email is [email protected], me+[anythinghere]@mine.com is a valid email address and messages sent to it and will end up in your inbox.

I tend to use specific aliases for services that send a lot of notifications (like [email protected]) and generic ones (like [email protected]) for everywhere else (specially tools I am signing up for to try out, and I hate drip email campaigns they trigger)

You can then set up rules on your email service provider to automatically route emails to a sub folder, spam or archive based on the to address.

I use G Suite — I mark all emails from Amazon as read automatically (I still want to be able to search for them if needed), move most email to spam automatically, and move newsletters I really want to read to the inbox instead of updates and star them.

Oh, and you can also automatically respond with “unsubscribe” to stop receiving emails from services. Most marketing email services support this.

Things can get pretty intense with IT "body shops" in India where the company literally makes money on the hour.

What was your experience like?

They managed to get TikTok out of the country. IMO, China has just as much influence in India as the US, if not more. They recently banned Internet access in several parts of Delhi ( the capital ) as well, during the farmer protests on Republic day. This did not even make the news. I know because I live here.

Moreover, the bulk of the population won't really be affected by a Twitter ban - they aren't on it, and make most of the voter pool.

Wouldn't know about the windows lock screen particularly, and I haven't been a windows user since Vista, but such low quality software and UX is what I remember being accustomed to during my time with windows.

To be fair, it was also vista...

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but Catalina is letting me login without entering my password!

I have two users on my machine.

1. I "lock screen" from the Apple menu and close the lid. 2. I reopen the lid and it does not ask for password. 3. I start using laptop and lock screen suddenly pops up, but asks password for the wrong user. 4. I hit random key and the screen goes away, and i can continue working.

Also, it looks like a lot of settings don't work on the lock screen / choose user screen. For instance, the pointer speed doesn't match what I have set, font sizes don't match either, and the resolution looks wrong.

In all... It feels like windows?
