  • Are your iPhone or Apple Watch alarms not going off? Here's how to fix it

    With my wife’s phone (XS Max) it’s not alarms but alerts.

    When a text or Messenger message comes in, the phone usually makes a sound. But very once in a while it doesn’t. No vibration either. Unlocking the phone shows a message has been received, but no alert heralded its arrival.
    Yep. This one. Alarms work fine, alerts are getting spottier by the month. Running a 5S on IOS 10 (since I have a bunch of 32-bit apps I want to keep) but the issue first appeared about a year ago. At times, my phone will also 'catch up' on forgotten reminders and I'll get a flurry of reminders, even ones set in the future. Most weird.

  • Amazon set to launch own delivery service, competing with UPS & FedEx

    Actually, having all this competition for last mile delivery kind of makes for a worse experience on my end. Instead of having multiple delivery firms knock on my door or having to go to several different service points to pick up parcels, I'd be much happier with just one single delivery and one service point for all my stuff. Kind of like the good ole post office. That's for last mile, of course. Who handles the linehaul, I couldn't care less.
