![]() ![]() One product that appealed to me was quip refillable floss. I had a chance to use it as part of my daily routine and will share my experience and impression in this review.īy this time, you’re probably familiar with the quip toothbrush, which I also used for a while. I figured that since I was happy with the company's brush, they must have good standards for their floss as well. The quip floss packaging concept isn’t what you are used to seeing in traditional flossing brands. ![]() Instead, it comes in a cylinder-shaped sleek looking and refillable dispenser that quite frankly, makes it a bit more exciting to floss as it gives off more of a “prestigious vibe”. The floss dispenser comes in metal or plastic. For the metal, it comes in four color options: silver, slate, copper, and gold. To use, I press on the top of the metal cylinder, and the dispenser slides out of the chamber and I pull the floss right out and can cut it against the built-in cutter. ![]() ![]() The floss has green markers on it as indicators where you should cut. This ensures that you dispense an adequate length of floss for each session (18 inches/45.72 cm). I found this subtle feature to be quite useful and was comfortable with the length of the string when I would floss each time. The quip floss itself is on the thinner side, and not something I was initially used to when I began using it. The width of Oral-B’s Glide floss string is probably one-sixth of a centimeter where quip is just as thin as a regular thread that goes through a needle. The thickness of quip floss compared to Oral-B. The image also shows the green marker on the quip floss. Quip floss’ mint scent is also not as vibrant as my Oral-B glade has. The texture felt on my gums and between my teeth was slightly different at first too. a full blown Cyberwar is going on between the Ukraine and Russia. Telegram has become a tool in that war for both sides. Let's take the chance and have a look at the state of secure messaging, review some of the better known options, but also look at some of the lesser known and commercial options out there. When rating a secure messaging app, what do we look at? Well, personally, the first thing i look at is the ownership situation. The following criteria flows into the review and assessment of secure messaging services and apps, this might differ for some people, but i think this covers the most important must haves Also, is the app or its underlying encryption technology open source? Can the integrity of the individual endpoints be ensured even if the backend infrastructure may be in some form corrupted or ownership changes (keybase.io is an example for ownership change when Zoom bought it in 2020, but more about that later on.Support of Voice and Video calls as well as attachments.I will make this sort of a top 5, starting with my personal favorite. You can only delete messages for everyone in a chat that have been sent no longer than 3 hours ago.Requires a mobile number for initial sign up.Available for iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux.Password protection (App will require PIN or password to open, good if your devices gets into the wrong hands).PIN Access ( you can set a PIN that is used to setup Signal on other/new devices).Open Source Signal protocol (used by other messaging apps as well).Option to send disappearing messages (with a timer).Capable of doing group chats, SMS, voice and video calls, documents and picture messages.My personal favorite for a number of reasons. Might not be an issue for most people but still worth mentioning. Signal is in fact the messaging app of choice for many security and privacy concerned individual, the probably best known examples would be Edward Snowden, Jack Dorsey, and Bruce Schneier.Īt this point, I would be confident to say that Signal is the most secure messaging app that is easily available to the general public, the fact that there is a huge open source community reviewing the source code and identifying weaknesses ensures that. ![]()
