Improving the quality of the content TECH Dozens

Monday 1 April 2019

DLL Editor's note -- Two week's ago we suspended  the publication of TECH Dozens in order to address some persistent security issues. We suspended this week's edition in order to  formulate new search and sampling procedures that will make it easier for us to identify links to higher quality news content. We will launch more secure, higher quality editions of TECH Dozens next week ... :-)
