Comment on How to Stop Android From Killing Apps Automatically in Background [All OEMs] by John S

Amar – thanks, this is a super-useful article.
Nathan , here’s a solution for TCL phones. The problem is an app called ‘Smart Manager’ that ships with TCL phones and can’t be uninstalled. ‘Smart Manager’ aggressively kills apps to preserve battery – that is what’s force-stopping your apps. See instructions below to fix this… (note: this works for other apps too, eg it enables TCL phones to be used with Parental Control apps like Qustodio, Norton Family, etc).

… using ‘Qustodio Kids’ as an example

Open Smart Manager app
… either from home screen, or from Settings > Smart Manager

1. Smart Manager > Auto-start
Turn off ‘Automatically manage’
Ensure your app is on – ‘Qustodio Kids’ in this case
2. Smart Manager > Battery
Turn off Normal saving mode
Turn off Super saving mode
3. Smart Manager > Battery > Battery detail
Turn off Battery saver
Turn off Battery manager
4. Smart Manager > Notifications
Ensure your app is on – ‘Qustodio Kids’ in this case

Comment on 2 Ways To View And Download Source Code of Any Chrome Extension by Juan

> When you install any extension or theme from Chrome Web Store, a CRX file is downloaded and the contents of the file are extracted and saved locally on your hard drive.

Can we skip the bit where I have to install Chrome, and install the extension? Isn’t it possible to just download this CRX myself?

Comment on 8 Best Mac Clipboard Manager Apps For Better Productivity and Workflow by Andy Gayton

A fairly recent entry to the selection: Stacks is a terrific, open-source clipboard manager built with the Rust based Tauri framework. It helps you organize clippings into “Stacks” of clips, by default a new Stack is created per working session, so clips related to a task are roughly grouped together.

Comment on Google Passkeys Will Come as a Default Login Option for Personal Google Accounts by worktime

Wow, that sounds very interesting! It’s very annoying to remember all these passwords, so it’s tempting to give up the password. But I’m wondering if it’s as safe as they claim. Biometric authentication is great, but what if someone gains access to my device? What about those times when I need to log in from another device or computer? Will passwords work everywhere? This is a significant change, and I’m not sure if I’m ready to completely abandon traditional passwords just yet.
