Use Automations to Keep Alarms From Going Off When You Don’t Need Them

Image
I use the alarm feature in the iPhone's Clock app to remember when to feed my cat. I find that she bugs me less if she thinks the alarm, and not me, is in charge of the meal time (it sounds stupid but it works). When I'm out of the house, though, this alarm is mostly just a nuisance. That's why I set up my alarms to only trigger if I'm at home. This is useful for more than just cat people. Maybe you don't want your usual morning alarm to trigger while you're on vacation, for example, or maybe you have alarms that are useful at work that you don't want to hear at home. The point is you can set up alarms to only trigger when you're in a specific place using the iPhone's built-in shortcuts feature—here's how. First: set up alarms and name them Credit: Justin Pot The first step should be obvious: set u...

How Apps Use Push Notifications to Spy on You (and How to Stop Them)

Image
Back in December, we learned that governments and law enforcement agencies are able to spy on your smartphone activity by requesting your push notification data from Apple or Google . Very cool and unconcerning! But as it turns out, it's not just the authorities who can scrape your push notification data: Apps do it too, without you ever opening said app in the first place. But you can put a stop to it. How apps spy on you through your push notifications As security research duo Mysk explains in this video , apps are taking advantage of a loophole in iOS push notifications to scrape personal data on your iPhone and send it back to remote servers. Here how it works: iOS allows apps to wake in the background when push notifications come through in order to allow the app to decrypt the payload (the message contained in the notification), or download data attached to the alert. But according to Mysk, many "data-hungry" apps use this as an opportunity to send data analytics ...

Why the New GameCube Controller for Switch 2 Might Not Be Such a Good Idea After All

Image
If you're a gamer born in the '80s or '90s, you might have some strong nostalgia for the Nintendo GameCube. It's not just your childhood memories fueling those opinions: It's a great console, with classic library to boot: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker ; Mario Kart: Double Dash ; and Super Smash Bros. Melee , just to name a few. It might be tempting, then, to pick up a new GameCube controller, specifically designed for Nintendo Switch 2 , and all the GameCube games Nintendo plans to make available through a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. If you're lucky enough to snag the new console at launch, you'll be able to play Wind Waker , Soulcalibur II , and F-Zero GX , with more titles on the way . Sure, you could use the Joy-Cons or Switch Pro controller to play these games, but why not fully commit to the bit, and play these GameCube titles with the controller they were designed for? The GameCube controller is not ideal for modern Switch 2 games I...
