Simple Internet Workarounds

Post by DrDonkeyLove »

I thought smart internet people would have solutions to common questions or problems. I have my questions, you may have others.

Here's mine.

Several on line newspapers (Wash Post, NYT, etc) allow you to read a certain number of articles per month gratis. To read more you need to sign up and/or pay. Not doing it. If I can't find a simple workaround, I'll live with the number of free articles they allow.

Is there a very simple way around this obstacle? Private viewing perhaps?

If you click to it through news.google.com, you can reach it. So find the story of interest, then search for news on that story through google news. It should appear as an option, and you can dive in.

This was still working recently.
Don’t believe everything you think.

Incognito/private used to work on the Times, I haven't hit my limit in a while.
Look for the article on Twitter, most allow you to read links from social media even if you're over the limit.
