You Should Wet Your Dustpan Before Using It

While most of us reach for a vacuum when we need to clean up a non-liquid spill on the floor, there are still times when it makes sense to grab a dustpan and brush. Whether your vacuum’s battery needs to be recharged, or it takes less effort to use a dustpan for smaller messes, it helps to have one handy.

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...

Here's How to Fix the Bug Causing iPhone Notes to Disappear

Image
Halloween might be over, but the scares just keep coming for some iPhone users, who've stumbled across a pretty concerning bug after accepting the updated iCloud Terms and Conditions. Those affected have reported on social media that they've lost all files saved in their Notes app, and for very good reason, they've been looking for answers. If you're like me, the Notes app is an integral part of how you stay organized. It allows me to quickly jot down ideas, keep track of assignments, scan important documents, and, since the iOS 18 update , keep any voice notes in a convenient spot. Because I also use a MacBook Air, I know these files will be waiting for me on my laptop, so I tend to use Notes across all my Apple devices. If my files suddenly disappeared, I would be a disorganized mess. Here's some background: there weren't any significant changes when the iCloud Terms and Conditions were most recently updated on September 16, 2024. According to MacRumors.com...
