[NSC] How do YOU use NSC?

[Neville's Breakfast]

Phone only. I rarely use my Mac for anything these days.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Talking of desktops, is anyone else getting a blue sphere in the bottom right hand corner with varying sizes of arrows on it?

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

The free ride is over!

I’ve noticed there are now ads. I don’t read them though. Don’t tell your advertisers.

Yes. Privacy settings by the looks of it.

Yes. Privacy settings by the looks of it.

It's a pain because it is right where the upwards arrow to return to the top of the thread is.

Computer at all times, apart from the Wordle thread - I update that daily from my phone. Usually to try and ensure I've remembered to do it and I try and it do it at midnight to keep the run going and I'm more of a night Owl so, in theory, my brain should be better at midnight than 7am!

I've moved it to the left.

Edit: @Bozza already on the case

What great service

I've moved it to the left.

Thank you.

Hi @Bozza, did you activate an ‘anti ad blocker’ facility today. I’m now blocked from using nsc on an iPhone using Edge. Until now it was fine. I’ve completely deleted the Adware app, but still this message.

In the aulden days it was at work whilst getting PAID!

these days its usually i pad at home, sometimes pc at home

very very occasionally I may look on my phone, if im out/at work and somethings happened and you know there's going to be a knee jerk reaction to raise a smile but its a woeful tool for that purpose, If only I had an omsung phine

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

PC during the daytime on weekdays *ahem*...

Android phone otherwise.

Just like me, although as l am retired l don't need to feel guilty.

Always on my desktop though . . . I've never even used a tablet, (athough l take plenty).

 

[Cheshire Cat]

It depends what I am doing and where I am.

The phone is more portable and accessible, although the screen is a bit small and I can't type as quick on the keyboard.

The tablet depends if I remember. Same issues with phone.

The laptop is a bit restricted by size and is a little cumbersome by comparison with the other two, but it's easier to use because of the screen size and keyboard. And the annoyingg adverts are less in the way

Yep. A smug adblocker tipped me over the edge.

Edge on iPhone - who knew that was a thing?

I'm not familiar with it, but I'll try and take a look later on my phone, but there must be something in the Edge settings and/or another browser plugin that is blocking javascript.

It may be Malwarebytes or similar as that blocks ad trackers.

80/20 phone/laptop

Mainly computer, especially during the day while 'working' but sometimes iPad. Never on the phone, I'm getting old and need the bigger screen.

@Bozza - understand the ad-blocking but those accessing on work devices might have an issue as they are unlikely to be able to whitelist NSC as it will be controlled by central policies and not the user.

 

[Hamilton]

A bit of a mix.

When WFH I'll use computer to keep an eye on it (like now)

When commuting, it's phone.

At weekends and evenings, it will be phone.

@Bozza - this is the case Malwarebytes users need to disable ads/trackers for this site if they are using the malwarebytes browser extension.
