I don't think there's a word pretty much everybody gets wrong more than "tenet."

A renter is a tenant. A principle or belief is a tenet.

Unless you're talking about somebody who rents a room in the center of the earth, you mean core tenet, not core tenant.

This is almost certainly reassuring.

Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

Microsoft Authenticator prompts the user to accept sharing analytics during the first launch. The prompt only dismisses when the user taps on "Accept." In fact, the app starts sending analytics even before accepting the privacy statement.🤦‍♂️

In this video, we downloaded the authenticator app from the App Store and we opened it as we monitored the iPhone network traffic. While the app was showing the permission prompt, we captured at least 3 calls made by the app sending diagnostics to Microsoft. The app sent 14 KB of analytics even before accepting the prompt.

The message on the prompt actually says that Microsoft needs to collect diagnostic data in order to keep Authenticator secure and up to date. 😵‍💫

A retronym is a word that describes something that used to be the only kind of something, like acoustic guitar and postal mail (or snail mail).

Here's a new one to me: pork bacon!
