For most people, rooting makes them less secure not more. It all depends on who you're securing against.

That's certainly fair, especially if the password is then set to some variation of "password"...

Although for some devices if you can root it, you probably also know methods of securing it.

Rooting a device does not enable setting a password for it. You can host sshd without root, or host sshd but disable root login. Rooting and setting a password, or opening remote command channels for that matter, are separate things. Root allows you to shoot yourself in the foot more than you could otherwise, but you do need to pull the trigger.

The default root methods just enable apps to request root, after which the user gets a prompt. It's like the camera, microphone, or any other special permission.

"Device" has taken on a few different meanings in this thread. To clarify I was speaking generally and not specifically about mobile phones, which is certainly in error due to the context of the article.

To be honest I remember Windows Media player 9 or 10 having really good library management. Used it until I switched to GPM.

As someone who doesn't use iOS often I have to agree. Changing the brightness on an iPad took me a minute because I had to work out which corner to swipe from. Such poor design.

Is there any evidence for that? I know that for example women are more likely to be injured in car crashes because most car seats/interiors are designed around the average man so if be surprised if a human half didn't need to be raised or put in a safer position.

Don’t men get in more accidents?

Yes, because seatbelts are so effective for us, it turns out there is no selective pressure avoid car crashes.

I didn't know that about seatbelts. All these years of careful driving have been wasted on me.

It only looks that way because we get in more on-purposes.

So your "evidence" is a single anecdotal account from over a decade ago?

Actual accident data doesn't back you up...

Not that I use it but Outlook in Office 365 is radically different. Has full integration with M365 groups etc.

It's a part of Google one, no idea how good it is though.

That functionality also allows someone to turn your oven on while you're on holiday, but worth the risk in my opinion.

Most kids only experience computers through a smart phone and a collection of social media apps.

Boost is a brilliant app, never use the desktop site because it's junk in comparison.

Windows 10 on a core 2 duo and an SSD is still pretty quick, it just doesn't run well on HDDs.
