Those are generally stored on your provider’s servers, not on the phone itself (when you check voicemail, you’re actually making a phone call to their voicemail system). As long as you’re staying with the same carrier, your new phone will be able to access your old voice messages.

I have a habit of charging for short periods whenever I’m at my desk, which seems like a good way to stay in that healthy 50%-80% range and avoid overheating. Of course I’ll charge it all the way if I need it to last all day, but there’s no point in doing that when I’m rarely away from a charger for more than 3 hours.

It would work well for somewhere like a kitchen or bathroom countertop where an octopus of power strips and adapters would just get in the way. But you still lose the ability to plug more than one thing into the outlet if you decide to rearrange your small appliances . . .

It would be great if preparers like H&R Block included effective tax rates in their year-to-year comparisons. Even a simple infographic that said “last year you made X and were taxed Y” would help folks understand how much they’re actually paying.

Yes, they’re recyclable! They go straight to a factory that melts them down into plastic pellets instead of going through a sorting facility where they would gum up the machinery.

I’m lucky enough to live in a place that is rich in hot springs, and my favorite spot has a dozen pools and tubs ranging from 60° to 105°. It feels amazing to go from a hot tub to a cold one and then warm back up in the sauna.

Angel wing is associated with excessive protein or carbohydrate consumption. It doesn’t usually show up in controlled environments such as farms and zoos unless they’re using the wrong food.

The “White Ambiance” bulbs are quite a bit cheaper and still allow you to control the color temperature.

Maybe they worked at a place that was frequented by those weird old guys who always pay with a $2 bill and stand there waiting for you to flinch so that they can launch into a diatribe about the fact that it’s still legal tender even though kids these days have never seen one.

Waiting for someone to post a photo of their iPhone boxes inside a MacBook Pro box (late 2018, i7, 32GB RAM, 8TB SSD) along with a complaint that the 8, 9 and X boxes don’t tetris well . . .

The need to center the device on the charger has always been one of Qi’s downsides, and Apple made the mistake of committing to a specific solution to that problem. Surely it’s possible to build an Apple-quality product with some sort of rim to align iPhones and perhaps a magnet to snap smaller accessories into place.

BURN IT WITH FIRE

You mean like the Auto Train?

Sure, you can use the other track to bypass the incident, but you’re also losing capacity because trains going both directions have to take turns using the same track.

This is a one-lane tunnel, just large enough for a Tesla. The $100 million tunnels can accommodate an entire subway line including stations and related infrastructure. Not exactly apples-to-apples.

Instead of optimizing for maximum throughput, “Walk Left, Stand Right” naturally prioritizes urgent traffic similar to QoS. This is a good thing.

How about a more realistic scenario in which one half of the group is about to miss their train and the other half is either unable or unmotivated to walk up?

It’s a prop for photo ops with visiting government officials.

This pairs well with my two favorite Ramen hacks, “Cook Two Packs Of Noodles With One Packet Of Powder” and “Throw Away The Seasoning And Make A Real Broth”.

Because your body has organs specifically designed for removing . . .
