Learned a new trick today. Click-clack: The physical buttons on your phone can become less responsive over time. On an Android, skip the side button and double-tap the screen with your finger to wake it. Neat!

Don't fall for this.
“My phone died. Can I use yours?” It’s a trick spreading quickly across the country. Someone who's clearly frazzled asks if they can call a friend on your phone to pick them up because their car won't start. You unlock your device, hand it over and that person runs away with it.
You could loose your phone. Also, don't try to get someone you don't know to take your picture. You could lose it that way too.
Stay safe out there.

If you use Firefox like I do, there is an new feature that you should turn off.
hate when tech companies do this: Firefox’s new default feature, “privacy-preserving ad measurement,” actually gives your data to advertisers. Turn it off. Click the three-line icon in the top right corner, followed by Settings > Privacy & Security. Scroll to Website Advertising Preferences, and disable Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement.
