Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max for 2024
The display size on the 2024 iPhone 16 Pro models are getting bigger, about 0.2 inches measured diagonally. That means the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.27-inch display and the Pro Max a 6.86-inch display (up from 6.12 and 6.69 inches). The larger size is necessary to accommodate more sophisticated camera hardware but will also add a bit of screen real estate.
Also, the new to the iPhone 16 lineup will have a Capture Button. It will be on the same side as the power button, located lower, so it can be activated with the index finger of your right hand when holding the phone in landscape orientation. It will be touch and pressure sensitive, allowing users to zoom in by swiping and to adjust focus with a soft press while triggering the shutter with a full press.

Most Cookies are Harmless
Cookies are files that contain small pieces of data that are exchanged between a user's computer and a web-site to identify specific users. They enable quick access to your internet accounts like Gmail, Facebook, Internet banking, sites you often visit, etc. With a few variations, internet cookies come in two flavours:
Session cookies are used only while navigating a website. They are stored in random access memory (RAM), are not written to the hard drive and expire when the session ends.
Persistent cookies generally include an expiration date and are automatically removed when that date is reached. They are used for two primary purposes:
Authentication: These cookies track when a user is logged in and under what user-name. They also streamline login to your internet accounts with some not requiring site passwords.
Tracking: These cookies track multiple visits to the same site over time. The information gained allows them to suggest other items that may interest the visitors. These may be more annoying than harmful.

How to reduce SPAM with a Disposable email address
Disposable email addressing, also known as DEA or dark mail, refers to an approach where a unique email address is used for every contact or entity. The benefit is that if anyone compromises the address or utilises it in connection with email abuse, the address owner can easily cancel (or "dispose" of) it without affecting any of their other contacts. Such disposable addresses are generally provided by a service company (paid or free) that forwards mail from the DEA to the actual address.
Disposable email addressing sets up a different, unique email address for every sender/recipient combination. The most common situations of this type involve online registration for sites offering discussion groups, bulletin boards, chat rooms, online shopping, and file hosting services. In a time when email spam has become an everyday nuisance and when identity theft threatens disposable emails can serve as a convenient tool for protecting Internet users. Wikipedia provides a good introduction of how Disposable email addresses work. Also, check out these 5 best, free disposable email services in 2023.
