A full-on block does that too, but blocking a user also prevents those users from seeing your tweets anywhere. The idea of a soft block is to distance yourself from an abusive follower without enraging them. It’s kind of the Twitter equivalent of slipping out of a party quietly to avoid that dude who’s coming on strong....

The process was fairly complicated and time-consuming. For that reason, it was always left in the domain of the power user even though many PCs would benefit from the occasional reset. With Windows 8, Microsoft finally embraced the trend of PC refreshes and introduced a formal, easy-to-use procedure to refresh or reset your PC.

Starlink’s new in-motion plan is primarily intended for RVs, eliminating a prior frustration in which RV users had to stop to connect. “Stream movies, play games, and make video calls all while moving towards your next adventure,” the company wrote in an email to customers.
