  3. Re:My rejected more informative news on Microsoft Is Disabling Older Versions of Skype For Mac and Windows On March 1 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I looked at installing Skype for Business on my Android phone the other day.

    It is not only your contacts that it wants to slurp up, it is also the applications that are running and more worryingly your browser history.
    Have yet to think of a good reason why Skype would need that access.

  4. Why the negativity on UK Announces Hybrid Work/Study Undergraduate Program To Fill Digital Gap · · Score: 1

    I don't understand all the negativity.

    The student will gain as they will have a degree and work experience without the burden of the student loan.

    "TCP throughput is inversely proportional to delay"
