Can't stand "Set Tabs Aside"!
Am I in the minority for wishing I could turn off the "set tabs aside" feature in Edge? I accidentally hit it ALL THE TIME. I went to leave feedback, but a couple other people posted the ask to allow us to turn off "set tabs aside", but they only had a handful of votes. Just wanted to vent my frustration...

Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact (w/ Dedicated Camera button)
Hey All - Just curious if anyone has had any "xperia"nce with this XZ2 line of phones from Sony. I see they have a dedicated camera button, some decent specs, a non-glass body, and one of the few company's who make smaller versions of their phones without sacrificing internals. I'm intrigued by this one...

Office 365 free subscription ending, switch to Google?
Long time Windows Phone/Microsoft fan here. I had enough Office 365 keys to pay thru this August, but when thinking about renewal to keep my OneDrive space, I find myself in a dillema. I now have an Android device, and with Google Photos the superior photo backup solution (and free unlimited photos & videos), I wonder what's the point of renewing Office 365 since I only really did it for the 1TB storage and the online versions of the Office apps are fine for me? More over, I am debating over just dropping the Microsoft account entirely. It's a sad thought...

Cortana + Next Lockscreen on Android
Hi All - I hear that Cortana has a lot more functionality on the lockscreen now in Android, but what does this mean? I enabled the lockscreen functionality within Cortana, but not really seeing any difference in content or options in Next Lockscreen regarding Cortana. Does this new functionality for read-only & now interactive content from Cortana only apply to the stock Android lock screen?
