Tech podcast. Seeing as my knowledge of all things techy is is reasonably limited or non-existent, in fact, so you are the expert, and I am the dunce. I am here on behalf of the listener who won't necessarily understand. So I'm I here. I represent you.
No, oh, is it breaking into a phone? Yes, yes, yeah. Of course, you've heard of jailbreaking. Yes. So actually, it's it's it's not breaking into a phone. It's breaking the phone out of the jail imposed by Apple on it. So people, it took about two months last summer before it was jailbroken.
Ad laden as as Yahoo Mail or Hotmail, it has ads in it, but they're text. Whereas, but Hot Yahoo Mail has lots of pictures. Yeah, it's a not very cluttered page. Yes, with Gmail, Google Mail. Yeah, and it has lots of other features. So, I recommend Gmail. Set up an email address for yourself.
