UI?UX so cool, but not working for me...

by Gladwin, 2024-11-30

Very useful. I'm at a university with strange management so I can't lock the computer, so this is useful if I use a browser-based documents thing (Zoho, 365, etc.). Although the online versions of documents are not great in terms of compatibility, at least I can keep things safe until I download them into Word or something, rather than risk them being messed with every time I leave the computer for a short time.
