Face recognition/unlock: Android phones

Face Unlock is a easy way to unlock your Android phone. Once you’ve set up facial recognition on your smartphone, you can simply look at it to unlock the device. Face Unlock uses images of your face to create face models that are used to identify you and unlock the phone.

It’s important to say that Face Unlock is not the most secure method of authentication. Pattern, password or fingerprint authentication (depending on the device) are more safe and secure than Face Unlock. Having said that, it’s far better than not having any kind of screen lock on your smartphone. So if you need convenience and ease of use, Face Unlock is your friend.

How to Stop Microsoft Outlook from Saving Sent Emails

When you send an email, Outlook sends the original email to the recipient and stores a copy of that email in the Sent Items folder. This default behavior makes perfect sense and will probably never change, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it. Outlook lets you turn this off so that it doesn’t store a copy of your sent emails in the Sent Items folder. If you normally delete everything in your Sent Items then this is all you need.

To automatically move items into a folder other than Sent Items, you stop Outlook storing a copy to your Sent Items, and create a rule that sends a copy of all emails you send to the folder of your choice instead.

We’re interested in doing this as a default for all emails, but you can do this as a one-off for an individual email. In your Outlook application, open the “Options” tab and click “Save Sent Item To,” which will give you the option to specify a particular folder or not to save the sent email at all.

The "Options" tab showing the "Save Sent Item To" menu items.

But we can’t think of many situations where you’d want to do this. And if you did, it would be easier to just delete or move the email from Sent Items instead.
