I just subscribed to The Washington Post. Should I download their app? I do all my reading on my iPad, but I've never installed an app for a single news source before.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I don't know that I'd describe the Messages changes as "improvements" so much...
I stand corrected. Casper tells me "Oh my gosh mom so much is different you can send so many stuffs." There are new emojis and you can draw a picture. Big whoop. "It's so cool mom."
My wife deleted a lot of built in apps. She liked that. She yells every time she tried to unlock it. This is what it is to learn about an OS upgrade for not-your-phone.
Month two on the Moto G4 and still loving it BTW. Anybody needing a cheap but still totally solid phone, this remains a great choice. It's taken everything I've thrown at it.

I actually really need to get a new phone -- my current phone is the Moto G from 2 years back (I think), and I've liked it. I am realizing I need a phone with a much bigger storage capacity, though, because I can't even update Pokemon Go right now (the horror). (It's not the storage issue that's driving my need to get a new phone; it's that I dropped it on the tile floor of the kitchen and spiderwebbed the glass, because I am a dummy who didn't get a case for the phone.)
My G4 doesn't have huge storage but it does let you put in an SD Card and "adopt it" as native storage if it's fast enough. I stuck a $15 32GB card in and it works. Not all apps will run off the SD catd but music and pics and stuff store there, and many apps run from it fine. Definitely not as seamless as just getting a 64GB phone but for less than $200 I can't be too picky.
I think they do make a 32GB version of the phone.
Tommyrot--The Post's app was shitty until about a year ago, and is now a pleasant user experience worth the download.
Plex problem. I can't connect to the internet at large, so I can't access my library from work (or anywhere away from home). The first few weeks, no problem. But now? Nada. I thought it might be a double router issue, so I patched the media center computer directly into the FiOS router (rather than my old airport extreme). No luck. So today I noticed something weird. I was downloading an ahem file (DVR deleted S2e1 of Supergirl), and it said "use a VPN, your location is Canada". Um. What? So I look at my Plex status, and copy the IP address to the internet, and search for it on google, and sure enough, it says I'm in Canada. Curious. Um. No. California. Just a leeetle bit different.
So? Given that I'm not using a VPN, and not in Canada. What would cause my ip address to think I'm in Canada??
I don't want to spend $100 to renew my Kaspersky anti-virus. What is the best free or relatively cheep anti-virus program, by Buffista standards?
I've been using free Avast, but I'd be curious to know if there's anything better.
