Opinion: screen ratios should stay below 18:9

I have a OnePlus 7T, and as much as I like the performance of the phone, I constantly wonder why anyone needs or would actually want a 20x9 display. This screen layout (the height being more than double it's width) makes one hand use a pain (literally) without much benefit. Plus YouTube videos and many tv shows look atrocious (you get 0.5" of black bars on each side.)

The few times I do enjoy the 20x9 is when watching feature films, but phones are obviously not the go-to method for watching mo...

Sending calls to phone from Chrome browser

Pardon me if this is something old, but I was tracking a package using the web version of Chrome and found something cool. When I right-clicked on the tracking number, I got an option to call the number from my S10+. Granted, it wasn't an actual number, so I did an example Google search for '9999999999' and when I right-clicked on it, I got the option again.

When I clicked on 'Send', in the URL bar on Chrome it said 'Sending call', and I immediately got a notification in my S10+ asking me to t...

Check your play store balance expiry date. $63 vanished from mine today.

If you go to Play Store > Payment Methods, that should show you your Google Play Balance and when is the next expiry date.

So far, the rule that I've been aware of is - your promotional opinion rewards credit expires after 1 year of inactivity, i.e. IF you don't spend any credit in play store. But if you do spend any credit, the expiring date counter resets and 1 year countdown restarts from your last credit spending date. **Apparently not so anymore**.

Today $63 vanished from my balance and ...
